Let's say they allways try to balance a complete civ, so they are power neutral (every civ equally powerful). They evaluate the power of the unique unit. Unique units are only for 1 civ, so they would allways get the bony of the civ.

This means, it doesn't matter if the unit has x health or (y + y*civbonus) health if the effect would lead to something. In this case it would probably lead to an small nerf in castle age, because the bonus is stagered.

See the Inca Bonus, that is in reallity a nerf for the castle age plumed archer, because they cost more during that time. If they wouldn't be included in the cheaper costs for archers, they would cost probably the final cost right from the start from the castle age.
