Samurai
They posted the Civ of the week at Civ3.com --> The Japanese
The samurai is 4-4-2 which substitutes in for the Knight 4-3-2
Knights require horses and Iron whereas Samurai require only Iron
Basically... this kicks ass

This appears to be the only UU so far with two bonuses.
I wonder why they have chosen to do this.

I don't know, but they are pretty darn good. Maybe horses aren't that rare or something...

I believe there are a few other UUs that have 2 bonuses. Let me see here...
Standard Knight 4 3 2
Chinese Rider 4 4 3
The War Elephant is the Indian version of the knight. Though it shares the same attack, defense, and move ratings of the knight, it requires no natural resources to build, whereas knights require both horses and iron.
Standard Spearman 1 2 1
Zulu Impi 1 2 2
Impi requires no natural resources to build.
The UUs may also be balanced with the civ traits as well as the other UUs...

The Chinese Rider is a better unit.
