Welcome to the forums!

Not to the best of my knowledge. The promotion system replaced the armies and regular/veteran/elite of Civ3. Armies would give a huge advantage to the player. In Civ3 the AI almost never used an army properly. In Civ4 you can just use stacks. Having an army would basically give you a Modern Armor in the age of Knights.

I guess a Warlord comes nearest.

Thanks for reply. I would then have to play Civ 3 just for army. But the thing I hate very much in civ 3 in the concept of corruption. Really annoying to see newer cities producing just single production.

In C3, you can easily create a scenario using Civ Edit in which you can eliminate corruption.

Corruption is a pain in C3C if it's unmodded. The new cities with large corruption you just turn into a Scientist farm. If you're going to mod out corruption you might want to mod out pollution too.

Bucepahalus mentioned the Warlord/Great General. That's another partial replacement for the Army. Admittedly nothing in Civ4 compares to the army in Civ3 but a lot of Civ4 players enjoy having a Warlord unit. With Morale you do get the extra movement point.

Try the History of the Three Kingdoms mod; it has legions which are the closest thing to armies in Civ4:

A Combat VI Great General is the next best thing.

Besides, if kept safe and active, it can gain huge amounts of XP and then it gets to be nearly indestructible.

A Combat VI + City Raider III + Medic III + March + Blitz + Commando + Morale Swordsman/Maceman/Rifleman/Infantry is almost enough to win every war, and unlike in C3C, these units can actually be upgraded to be able to keep up with the tech tree.
