[GS] Unique Unit Elimination Thread

[bengalryan9]

Barbary Corsair (Ottomans) - 19
Bireme (Phoenicia) - 20 (20-3) I wasn't that impressed with them. The +5 CS over galleys isn't that much on higher difficulties when the AI gets a bonus, the one extra movement can be hard to take advantage of when you only have coast tiles to maneuver in, and early in the game I typically don't have naval trade routes to benefit from protection (though you can always keep your biremes around for much later). Longships have the same advantages, plus way more!

Rough Rider (America) - 14
Samurai (Japan) - 15
Toa (Maori) - 27
Varu (India) - 27
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 23 (22+1) Better than the bireme in every way IMO. Has the same CS strength as a bireme (30), also gets 4 movement on coastal tiles, but these can retreat into the ocean to heal and pillaging is way more useful than protecting trade routes (especially as Norway when you're getting science and culture!). I mentioned earlier that a lot of what makes longships so good comes from Norway and Harald's abilities rather than the ship itself, but it all comes together to make an awesome package.

Impi (Zulu) - 12 (15 - 3). I love these guys, but we're getting to the part where some units must go. And Anti-Cavalry units aren't exactly good units. The impi, once obsolete, stop being as useful as any other land unit other than Recon units

Black Army (Corvinus/Hungary) - 21
Conquistador (Spain) - 28
Cossack (Russia) - 21
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 25
Digger (Australia) - 21
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 25
Huszár (Hungary) - 16 (15+1) This has good synergy with peaceful, diplomatic Hungary. While most people might put them on the war path and use levying for domination, Hungary also has the option to go the other way. If you're going for diplomacy, you'll want as many allies as possible. This makes for a great defensive unit that can speedily get to anywhere in your empire that you might need its help.
Hwacha (Korea) - 9
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 21
Immortal (Persia) - 21
Impi (Zulu) - 12
Janissary (Ottomans) - 24
Jong (Indonesia) - 25
Keshig (Mongolia) - 11 (14-3) A good example of a UU that has fallen in standing since GS. The cool feature about these guys was that you could escort battering Rams and siege towers in formation, so that your siege units could keep up with your fast cavalry army. Domination as Mongolia was so much fun because of how fast it went. However, those seige units do not affect cavalry units any more! No more bonuses against walls. This change effectively neutered the Keshig's ability. I've always been a huge fan of Keshigs, but it's only fair that it gets downvoted.

Please update if need be for corrections but to get this in tonight:

Huszár (Hungary) - 16
Hwacha (Korea) - 9
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 21
Immortal (Persia) - 21
Impi (Zulu) - 6 (9 - 3) A lot of what others have said, but basically if I'm playing Zulu, the moment when the Impi show up should be massive. These are fine but underwhelming in that regard.
Janissary (Ottomans) - 24

Legion (Rome) - 23
Mamluk (Arabia) - 25
Mandekalu Cavalry (Mali) - 22
Minas Gareas (Brazil) - 26
Mountie (Canada) - 20
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 16 (15 + 1) Not ready to see these guys go quite yet. They were better when they didn't require Iron but a Swordsman replacement is still a UU you're going to get use out of, and their bonuses are good for Kongo, where you're likely to start in rainforest and be settling more rainforest when they show up. Decent for classical-era conquest and great at defending. Yes, expensive, but Kongo has lots-o-chops to make up for that. All-in-all, they feel like the right unit for the civ.

I'm guessing I just ignore the downvotes from the post with 2 above (is there any ruling for this?) Added 3 to Impi and Digger's scores

Barbary Corsair (Ottomans) - 19
Bireme (Phoenicia) - 20

Huszár (Hungary) - 16
Hwacha (Korea) - 9
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 21
Immortal (Persia) - 21
Impi (Zulu) - 6 (9 - 3) Although with the civ's abilities you can get the Impi corps horde running riot, if you have to judge to unit itself, it isn't very impressive.
Janissary (Ottomans) - 24
Jong (Indonesia) - 26
Keshig (Mongolia) - 11 fixed (got dropped off with 11 points, adding this in again)
Legion (Rome) - 23

Minas Gareas (Brazil) - 26
Mountie (Canada) - 20
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 16

Warak'aq (Inca) - 25

Winged Hussar (Poland) - 7 (6+1=7) These are extremely strong and a lot of fun to use. Their knock-back ability is devastating as long as you plan for it, and their place on the Culture Tree makes for an interesting game. They shouldn't be this low yet.

Janissary (Ottomans) - 25 (24+1) Such a good unit. The only "downside" - the "don't build them at home rule" - is really just a motivation to conquer a productive city well before gunpowder. Yes, I know you're supposed to upgrade from warriors you already guilt, but they're so cheap you might as well build more, in my Suleiman game Paris was churning them out every 3 turns on Epic speed!

Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 28 (31-3) EW is awesome but I don’t know if it’s necessarily the best unit in the game as the runaway score would seem to indicate.

It doesn't seem that you followed the rules in your vote to downgrade the Eagle Warrior.

Conquistador (Spain) - 28
Cossack (Russia) - 21 +1 = 22 Playing a diety game atm and my many armies of Cossaks have bent the Koreans to their knees.

Legion (Rome) - 25 = 24 + 1. I find I get more mileage out of classical units than ancient era units and the Legion is one of the best. More combat strength than a swordsman and easier to upgrade from warriors since they require half the iron. Plus the ability to pillage, capture a city, then repair the pillage tiles is a nice economic boon and saves needing a builder or two trailing your army around.
Keshig (Mongolian) - 8
Mamluk (Arabia) - 25
Mandekalu Cavalry (Mali) - 22
Minas Gareas (Brazil) - 26
Mountie (Canada) - 17 = 20 - 3. Converting production or gold into national parks is nice but space for national parks can be limited. As a military unit, it actually has two less base strength than a Cavalry Unit but takes more production to make. The national park attack bonuses are highly situational.
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 16
Pítati Archer (Nubia) - 29
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 17
Rough Rider (America) - 5
Samurai (Japan) - 7 - I was real tempted to upvote these guys. Not because they are good but for the sound effects they make. I love that *shwing* sound.

Hwacha (Korea) - 3 (6-3) A ranged unit that can't move and attack in the same turn? No thanks. Others with low numbers like Keshigs, Rough Riders, Samurai, and Winged Hussar seem a lot more useful than these do even with their limitations.

Mountie (Canada) - 18 (17+1) - I gotta disagree that space for parks is limited... tundra is great for that, and you should have plenty of that as Canada. I love that I can save more than 1000 faith by building or purchasing this one unit.
