What sort of units/divisions will be available for this stage? Obviously there should be military/offensive units, but what else?

On the top of my head:
Air/Water units for birds/anphibians
Suicide units for hiveminds or very disciplined societies
Units with confusing chemical signals against hiveminds
Mounted units
Tribemen/Militia/Rebels/Levies when aplicable

I'm also guessing pilots (or maybe just call them vehicles) and AI vehicles (Ya know, robots n stuff)
And of course the basic ranged and melee groups
Maybe a special sabotage group (and also maybe a kind of area attack group (rocket launchers n stuff))

It would probably depend on how your species evolves.
Got big muscles? Then we have chargers and other brawly big boy things.
Got big brains? Let's invent this shooty thing which shoots sharp things and have ranged things.
It's just whatever's convenient.

Gonna need field medics, right?
Also, people with flags, horns, or drums could boost squad morale.

I think a system where the player creates the units would be good.
The player can give the unit weapons and equipment(possibly giving certain soldiers in the unit special weapons),he could sort he units size(up to a limit) and it's level of training(from barely knowing how to use a rifle to spec ops levels of training)

I think the OP was asking for units asides from military ones as well.
I imagine some sort of gatherer units would be in order. Builder units also, and perhaps even some meant strictly for exploration. These are only generalizations, they can be specified in some sort of unit creator.
