The Navy Seal

I always see these threads that say, "Whats the best UU". But in everyone Praetorians win so as suggested I'm posting this thread. I say Landsknetch.
Strongest UU excluding the Praetorian?

That's tuff. The cho-ku-kno, numidian cav, vulture, and conquistador are all real good. I can't really pick which one of them is superior to the other, they just have different uses.
Leaving the Pret in there makes these so much easier, because it's just so absurdly overpowered it's the obvious choice.

im saying Navy Seal, because It's never upgraded, and it provides a good advantage in Modern Times. Panzers are good, but I usually don't have a chance to mass produce Tanks.

The Cataphract, probably, but that's essentially the Legion of Medieval times.

I'd have thought you would've said Navy SEAL.

Well I don't know how good they are since I've only played to modern times three times in my whole civ4 career!

Good poll, but I haven't voted because there are so many I haven't tried in BTS yet. I always liked cho-ko-nu in vanilla CIV4 but I haven't tried them in BTS yet. Landsknecht are very good but I don't normally prioritise engineering - it seems a very expensive tech - so it messes up my strategy too much trying to get them asap. Oromo are superb, I just won on monarch level as Ethiopia after several failures on that level in BTS 
With a barracks + one of the civics that give +2xp you can produce drill 4 oromo, that really kick ass, and when you upgrade them to infantry kick even more ass.

I'm not blaming you, just giving a shout to Firaxis to improve Cossack, since it no longer belongs among the powerful UUs.
I voted for Cataphract.

The Cossack from vanilla Civ IV was the most powerful UU, IMO. After the nerf and the expansions, they stink.

Definitely Cataphract. You can tell a unit is really powerful when they need to add a unit to the game (Curiassier) to balance out the UU they've created!
...at least, that's my crackpot theory!

It looks to me as if Quechuas still rule the Hall of Fame.
I figure redcoats are second to Legions.

Carracks are great for colony, as someone said before. Quechua for earky rushes, bowman very good with UB promotions... Landsknecht are also great...
