Hello, what a surprise to find an enclave of RTW players in the world of Civilization.
The Germans are probably the most powerful faction, as any decent RTW player doubtless knows in their heart. Even with the castration of the Germanic cavalry with the knife of Patch 1.5, the German phalanx spearmen, the Gothic Cavalry & Light Cavalry, the magnificent fighting archers which mow down hordes of anything and finsh them off hand-to-hand, and unstoppable infantry all totally devastate any foe, especially early game. Make that only game, since when playing against Germans, you will have no late or even mid game to tell tales about. The Germans are even more powerful with their veteran production and the single-turn archers.
Since I'm new here I'll ask one a question: what is your most favorite German unit -- the backbone of your Germanic domination of the RTW world?
Barbarian Cavalry
Gothic Cavalry
Spear Warband
Chosen Archers
Chosen Axemen
Night Raiders
Berserkers
Screeching Women
Barbarian War Dogs
