For me I think its got to be the Redcoat because of the strength bonus at such an important part of the game. They are key to my conquest games and wars wouldn’t be the same without them.

Are you naturally an aggressive or defensive player?

I have only ever seen uranium supplied once before which made me 2K! Oil is generally a better trading strategy though.

Alliances are generally useful in later games I find, especially if your not one of the superpowers. Very useful for sharing technologies and getting money, etc.
