Which Civs Would Synergize Together Best?

Would Impi's be able to get 4 attacks (ranged+melee twice) per turn with logistics if they were teamed with Persia's Golden Age bonus?

Probably not. CKN's don't get a triple shot with Logistics, nor do Longbowmen get 4-hex range with Range.

Persian Logistic CKN on Golden Ages do get triple shots, though.

Ethiopia-Byzantium is pretty good.

Brazil-Sweden is very versatile.

Brazil-Aztec can get ahead very early.

Shoshone-America is pretty great at scouting, gets a good early game and transitions well into a powerful late game.

Shoshone-Russia probably would be pretty powerful, also Comanche Cossacks would be amazing.

Arabia-Morocco craps gold.

Persia-Arabia is crossed paths: Golden Ages, Camel Archers, Immortals, and two UB on the same line that upgrade Happiness can help a lot when it comes down to warmongering.

Celts-Iroquois is pretty decent.

Assyria-Sweden can be pretty great. Take a guy or two out, stop for a bit, tech furiously, gang up on that one guy nobody likes, repeat, profit.

Sweden-Indonesia for the Candi which would be amazing and Kris Caroleans FTW!

Polynesia-Indonesia gets a decently strong UU that debuffs enemies and has all sorts of nifty bonuses, can win culturally pretty easily, and solves Indonesia's UA problem.

This I did not know. CS gift?

Yes, that is the only way Persia would get a CKN.

So then China+Persia would be cool if you got your scout to +1 Movement then got the weapons rune and became an archer. The resulting CKN during a golden age would get four movement. With logistics during a golden age you could triple attack and still move one. Too bad there isn't a plus 2 attacks upgrade.

Portugal and maya or Arabia and maya pyramids are made to ICS with with Arabia Bazzar that combo is quite nice but Aztecs and Korea/babylon not to bad

Persia and Brazil with liberty and freedom both also their respective wonders holy on a stick

Having played Brazil All-Uniques a few times, Siam/Greece, Venice/Germany, and Russia/Hun seem to have a lot of synergy.

So I was thinking, hypothetically, that it would be kind of fun if you could take any 2 civs and combine them. You'd get both Civs' UU...

Synergy between UU could be arranged in actual play, so this question is not so hypothetical! You and another human player (presumably on the same team) gift each other UU. You also be in SP hotseat where you are playing two civs.

Egypt & Mongoli: Chariots upgrading to Keshiks would be pretty OP and I'd think you'd clear the board very quickly.

One civ having chariot-archer UU and the other knight UU would be the obvious way to go, with Mongolia and Arabia as the second civ being the most OP.

Do any of the spearmen UU + Lancer UU combinations get anywhere close to this?

How about horsemen UU + cavalry UU?

As others have said, musket UU + rifle UU would also be great! (And also feasible to pull off.) I think I would go with American minutemen gifted to Sweden to upgrade as Carolinas. (Half gifted back to America, just to be fair.) Ottoman and Ethiopia would also be a good combination.

Persia being gifted CKN from a human ally would be easier to arrange!

Iroquois/Zulu - Impis moving through forest/jungle without penalty and no road maintenance goes well with less cost for melee army which means even a bigger army. Longhouse and Ikanda just boosts in making a better army faster. Imagine AI with this combo...Impi infected map.
