A special unit is a unit that does not fall into any of the other unit classes and cannot be produced or obtained in the same manner as other units. There are four special units in Civilization Revolution: Great People (which can provide bonuses to your cities or, in the case of the Great General, boost the attack and defense of the unit in its tile), the ICBM (which is awarded for building the Manhattan Project and can be used to launch a single devastating attack), the Militia (which appears when you found your first city next to a Barbarian village), and the Ranger Militia (which appears when you train a Galley or Galleon).
