I suggest that you make proper poll.

F-15 is the worst UU

I'm voting for the Conquistador. by the time you get these, the world has been discovered and the attack/defense points are weak.

It takes a few minutes to type it all out. It's there now.

I'll tie the Carrack, the Hwach'a and the F15 at the bottom. If you really threaten me to pick one of them, I'll say that the Carrack is the worst.

trooper, that may've been true in PTW, but with Conquests, Hwacha moves up to among the best, now that it has lethal bombardment.

I vote the Carrack.

I forgot about the lethal bomb.

Tough choice. It's between the Chasquis Scout (who wants a 20 shield scout?), Carrack and the F-15.

I'd have to go with F-15. A Modern Era UU is about as useless as can be. At least some marginal use can be made of the other two.

F-15s are just terrible, why can't America have something better!!!

F-15s are the worst hands down, but UU ships are pretty bad too.

@MeteorPunch: The conquistador's ability to run through enemy territory as if it is their own is very useful for picking off weak units (redlined units or workers) and poorly defended inner cities. I have a bad habit of not defending my inner cities well enough and Spain has made me pay.

Chasquis scout. It's about the only unit that is a downgrade from the original. It cost me a couple of turns and it used up a lot of my lux slider indirectly (since I was building them instead of mps), and it delayed my second worker by a lot in my HoF run for Spaceship.

America should have the Kentucky Rifleman, with an attack of 6 (he never misses), a defense of 3 (he's a guerilla fighter) and a movement of 2 (which doesn't slow down in any terrain).

Personal vendetta, eh?

That's happened to me too against Spain. So in this case the UU has strength against stupid HI (human intelligence). I wouldn't wan't to use Conquistador's though.

Hey, I would rather have the F-15 than a Chasquis... The Chasquis is completely worthless anyway.

F-15, undoubtly. Totally worthless. At least with the Chasqui you can trigger a golden age in useful times, and the conquistador may have some utility.

I was thinking a Minute Man. 4atk, 4def, and 2 movement

Four attack??!!!!

I was thinking more like a regular musketman, except with an extra movement point.

Carrack, jack of all trades, useful at none.

There are some ridiculous statements here.

The carrack is amazing, as whoever finds "the other continent" on continents maps on the higher levels get a massive trade boost (usually they have around tech parody with you, but know other techs instead of yours).

The H'watcha is one of the best, as it's in essence lethal bombard artillery.

The F-15 is pretty quite bad, but can lead to a (powerful) late-game GA.

The worst UU is the Chasquis Scout. It has no value, and denies the expansionist Incans the normally powerful scout. They should have just made this a 0.1.2 for ten shields (or however much a scout costs). Now that would be at least somewhat useful.
