You have to get a clue which information are shared among the player clients. Interactive objects like units may run internal events and your own ones that not only affect you. Cosmetic changes like setting the title of a multiboard is not of public interest and therefore safe.

Each object gets an id. Like some other, units use the standard handle counter (the id pool). Since there are object types like unit in this pool that are interactive you should not desync that counter. Else different objects will be called via one id.

Your example will be dangerous because, for the normal engine, it is important which player the unit belongs to, for alliance settings with automatical attack for example.

However, I once created two units from different types on different clients. I could do so because the handle counter was increased for all and the units only differed in output characteristics like having another name. So when I would not run into a situation where I would need to share the name or the different unit type id the unit was based of, that was fine.
