Potential for the best veteran units.

Kris Swordsmen can give you some pretty ridiculous units - and whats more, its actualy potentially practical to end up with 10+ of them carrying on through the game if you get a high faith start with Holy Warriors.

I was able to get a China scout to scouting 3 (+1 movement, +2 sight) then found a ruin to upgrade him to an archer then Chu-ko-nu for a unit that moves 3 or shoots 3 times. (Deity, Oceania, Large, Marathon).

Had to beeline Optics and abuse a poor city state. Just barely had 3 ruins discovered waiting for optics when AI units starting scouting the area, they got 1, and I got the other 2.

On certain maps, ruins can be around for awhile, like in Australia on an Earth Map.

Was not optimal gameplay for sure, was just curious if a unit could actually shoot 3 times.
