Are there any units that strike fear in your heart?

BUt I'm not really scared of any unit ;)
I would be scared of them if I was not always the greeks ;)
I FEAR NOTHING IN THE EARLY DAYS!

Ah! Now I know for sure that you are not my former roommate/ now enemy! Sorry, it's just weird. My old roomie had given himself the name Kefka too, and it's not exactly common. I've been wondering for a while now, but he would never have played as anyone other than Russia (with the Stalin replacement leaderhead).
 
I fear bombers and tanks in combination if I only have infantry and no air fighters. They just bomb me to H***, and then the tanks arrives....
 
I.C.B.M. ::nuke: Maybe because they always seem to travel in two's or three's. Or just because you can't stop it.
 
My beefed-up ultra powerful hoplites don't fear a living unit :D

Why should I fear modern weapons? I wipe'em all out by the time I get armours, so no modern weapon threats for me :goodjob:
 
Actually horsemen strike fear in my heart. Horsemen are really good against spearmen and whenver the enemy has them, i go crazy.
Infact all the ancient offensive units(archers, horsemen, swordsman) strike fear in me. They can all beat spearmen and thats a big problem. :p :D
 
War Chariot. Not because they are paticularily great, or I got my butt kicked by one, but because they look really freaky. Infact, in the mid-industrial age, when Egypt sent one into my borders I panicked (thinking it was about to decimate my cities), attacked it and caused a world war (gotta love mpps).
 
I hate Chinese Riders and German Panzers. Any unit that gets a movement bonus scares me. I usually make a point of whiping out the Germans before they can get tanks so I don't have to face their Panzers.
 
Although their stats are only 1/1/2 those Aztec Jaguar Warriors always seem to have their way with me in the early game. I've learned to make peace with Montezuma early and CRUSH him with my cavalry.

Besides I think Jag Warriors are bred like rabbits. Always 3 of them to each of my units.
 
Definitely elephants. The first time I saw them, I thought I was fighting against the Persians in AOK, and started looking frantically for priests to convert them with. Then I realized that I had tanks, and rolled over them. Gandhi didn't seem to mind too much.
