What, you want the entire list?

Okay, these are the hooks I need for the "alien invasion" modpack (which
you ain't going to see for a while yet, so no hurry):

F_UNIQUE - only one per nation at a time
F_GAMELOSS - you lose the game if you lose one of these
F_PALACE (perhaps F_BUILDPALACE is better) - can disband to create palace,
        and if disbands to found city, also creates a palace in that city
F_REQPALACE - can only be built (started as well as completed) in the city
        which has the palace
F_SPENDPALACE - building this unit removes the palace from the city
F_CITYBUSTER - double attack power against cities
F_CITYGARRISON - double defensive power in cities (perhaps)
F_SPENDPOP - reduce city size by 1 when built
F_AMPHIBIOUS - can travel over both land and water equally well (hard)
option "nation_req = <nation>, <nation>, ..." in units.ruleset -
        specifices which nations this unit is available for

And that's about it. If you implement any of those, I'll be very happy.
