If you had the ability to create a composite civilization by picking one unique ability and two unique units, buildings, and/or tile improvements from the existing civilizations in the game, which combination would lead to the most brokenly overpowered civilization?
Which FrankenCiv would be the most broken?

Ottoman UA for the largest navy in the game. No need to build ships, you get them for free! Oh and almost no maintenance. LOL, troll, rofl, etc.
Mongol UU. Keshiks. Enough said.
Arab UB. The Bazaar. Why only settle for the luxury resources on the map when you can magically have 100% more, with no effort! Oh and a nice little side-effect is that you have the potential to have twice the amount of gold as the other civs. Not broken at all. Promise.
Biggest navy. (attack them and you will only give them an even bigger navy)
Impossible to stop-army.
Double luxury resources.
Yeah.

Island map: Ottoman UA, English UU, Dutch UU.
Super navy that costs little, captures ships, and has uber-Frigates and Caravels.
Mountain map: Carthaginain UA, American UU, Incan UB
You get gunpowder infantry that can cross ANY terrain and can make food in hills too!

UU- Byzantine ship

Imagine a fleet of fire breathing hellspawn rolling up on your civ in 2000 BC from halfway across the map. The shores shall be yours, and the maoi means you can go big time war and keep up on culture, or stay relatively small and win culturally, both while protecting your assets.
Or
UA- Great andean road
UU- Hunnic horse archer
UU- Keshik
An army of horsies that fire from afar and can move through hills for free and ACTUALLY UPGRADE INTO ONE ANOTHER, keeping eachothers bonuses... No mr bond, I expect you to die!

War: Art of War, Siege Tower, Legion. With the Siege promotion, a Tower, and a GG, Legions would attack Cities at 40 Strength. You could conquer the whole world before anybody even researched Chivalry. Alternatively, Art of War, Keshik, Khan would obviously be stupidly good.
Religion: Patriarchate of Constantinople, Pictish Warrior, Stele. Pretty obvious. If we can combine multiple UBs (and skip a UU), Stele + Pyramid or Stele + Candi would be absurd.
Growth: Father Governs Children, Merchant of Venice, Floating Gardens. You'd just use the MoV for giant trade missions, then buy up all the Maritime City-States. You'd have cities with 60+ population by the end of the game, easily.

The Great Warpath, Jaguar and Brazilwood Camp. Super jungles with a military that can get everywhere inside your borders and a frontline forest specialist outside.

Keshiks and Janissaries with the Assyrian UA (superwarmonger civ)
Chu-Ko-Nu and Maya Pyramid with Korea ability (science civ)
Stampy and Floating Gardens with Babylon UA (probably another science civ, but also a food civ. Could also go with India's ability).
Pathfinder and Krepost with the Spanish UA (exploration civ)
ETA: How about Art of War with the Khan. I'm not sure which horse unit to prefer. I kind of just want to say Keshik, but let's suggest Companion Cavalry so it's not a cop out (Camel Archer or Horse Archer would be cop outs, imo). I thought about suggesting the Hakkapelitta, but I don't think that uses the Khan to its maximum advantage.

Domination:
Incan UA
Aztec UU
Iroquois UU
If you build Jaguars and upgrade them to Mohawks, you can have a unit that gets double movement in forest, Incan UA bonus on hills, and +58% combat bonus in forest or jungle.
Faith:
Byzantine UA
Ethiopian UB
Mayan UB
You will get a ton of faith from the Stele, and after you open piety, you can build pyramids for even more faith and some science. Use the Byzantine UA to go for whatever is the best for the situation.
Culture:
Brazilian UA
Austrian UB
French UI
The Brazilian UA will boost your tourism, and the French UI will also help late game. The Austrian UB will help you generate more Great Artists, Writers, and Musicians.
Another Domination:
Chinese UA
Celtic UU
Zulu UU
The Chinese UA will give a small bonus to the Impis, and if the Impis were upgraded from Pictish Warriors, they will get another small bonus when they are in foreign lands. The Impis will be super units, and unlike the super units from the first combination, they are not only good in rough terrain.
