    Favourite unique unit?

    Ottoman Siphani's are awesome....Attack power of 8 is very much an advantage in the age of cavalry...Put them in an Army and nearly unstoppable all the way thru Infantry & Early Modern Age.....They slaughter Cavalry unmercifully and it is extremely fun to rape & pillage throughout the industrial...

    I have a game abot 1825AD and I am at a crossroads what to do.....I have a very large (probably huge) military - advisor says I am larger than everyone else and I have nukes just as a deterrent from others using them.... 5 Civs left Byzantines (small and hapless) Germany (Backwards in every...
