Favorite New PTW Unit?

Nick014 · Nov 02, 2002, 11:10 PM

Personally, I just love those medieval infantry. That attack animation is so awesome. That'll teach those lousy spearmen who's boss

. What's your favorite new PTW unit and why?

joespaniel · Nov 03, 2002, 12:12 AM

I like the maceman. I always hated having swordsmen in the middle age.

The numidian infantry is pretty tough, too.

Medieval infantry, followed by the sipahi.

The Sipahi has an awesome animation and it kicks serious buttocks (the GA comes at a decent time, too)

I don't have PTW, but it seems to me that the Berzerk would be good.

WildFire · Nov 03, 2002, 12:14 PM

I have the berserk now and it is truly awesome. It costs 90 shield though and takes about 6 turns to make 1.

I love the spanish. The Conquestador(sp?) is the best when you want to destroy an opponets infrostructure.

Praetorian · Nov 03, 2002, 02:03 PM

Stop it guys, your making me jealous. We won't be seeing PTW for at least another month

medieval infantry make swordsman live longer

I really like numidian mercs but I think my favorite new UU is Gallic Swordsman, at least for playing an early conquest game. A swordsman with 2 movement? Awesome in the early game, like ancient era cavalry!

Why, do medieval infantry know C.P.R.?

docceh · Nov 06, 2002, 01:57 PM

Yoda Power · Nov 26, 2002, 09:51 AM

cromagnon · Nov 26, 2002, 10:02 AM

I still remember the first time I went up against the Celts:

"6 attack???? Are you f***ing kidding me?"

No joke.

DaDoo · Nov 26, 2002, 10:12 AM

I like the spanish UU, the Conquistadors.

I use them to hold cities I just conquered so I don't need any of my offensive units to stay behind to quell resistance. Also since they treat all terrain as road, they can move across the map very quickly (since my front line moves rather quickly too). Definitely speed up my war momentum when I don't have to wait for the musketeers or riflemen from the rear to hold my new cities.

Unique Unit · Nov 26, 2002, 01:44 PM

In purely aesthetic terms (ie, the animation), Conquistadors are cool -- I love the dog!
But for sheer battlefield prowess, the Sipahi are truly fearsome.
Now, on the other hand, zerkers are fun to play, if only because they open up new strategic possibilities (unlike Sipahi, which just give you more of what you already had before).
