Play always war as Hammi. Bowmen are nearly longgbows and cities imlossible to take by enemy while keeping only one spear and two or three archers. Bowmen saved my game many times. The fact you dont use them actively doesnt mean they are weak
omg I can't believe people are voting Navy SEAL for most useless unit.. that thing rocks if you actually get to that point in the game. It's definitely not useless.
I had to vote for the Aztec Jaguar, because I really hate using them. In almost all cases, when I'm Montezuma I actually wish I just had generic Swordsman. The difference between 6 strength and 5 strength is a big deal when attacking archers which is the main scenario. The Woodsman bonus to me is pretty laughable, okay you can do some guerrilla war stealing workers stuff, but what about attacking cities? Not good.
Basically the Aztec Jaguar is like 99% worse than building an Axeman when I play Aztec, since at least the Axeman won't get rolled by enemy Axeman. I want to be aggressive Aztec and use these cool looking Jaguars to dominate my lands like the real Aztecs, but nooooo I have to use this inferior Swordsman with 5 strength who can't kill archers on hills. Lame
Yes, but that means that it is the only ancient unit without a "counter". With a little promo and/or defense bonus it does not have to be afraid of anything before elephants and xbows. You can have a stack of them without also taking spears along (granted, that's not such a big deal, but it is a certain advantage). Still, I liked the vanilla spear-phalanx better
Fast Workers being able to move onto a forest and chop the same turn means that - as long as your chopping route is correct - you have nearly a 25% bonus to the speed at which you can chop something out. That something could be a stack of Axemen or Horse Archers, which in my opinion makes Fast Worker one of the best offensive UUs in the game
I vote Panzer. I've never played a game that came down to tank vs. tank warfare in the field, not once.
No, swords arent bad because of UUs, they're bad because of axemen, and also HAs are much better for offense due to their mobility.
I think Navy SEALS are very useful.
