BEST UU civ combination

[El Caballerion]

Hey guys,

The poll is ONLY for CIVS that have two unique units. Which two provide the best synergy?

My bet is for England. Their two UUs are very much overpowered, and come at a right time when warmongering is needed. Without them, getting anywhere on Diety would be much more difficult.

What's yours?

I didn't vote with synergy in mind but I voted England. I like going random map & map size when I play and England gives you two UUs with flexibility for wherever the game takes you

Best synnergy: probably the huns, with Rome as #2. Both of these uu pairs come at the same time and support one another nicely. The mongols deserve mention here because the Khan is sort of a UU (he can move at least), and makes keshiks even more effective than they otherwise are.

Best overall: Gotta be England, with the shoshone getting honorable mention. Longbows are an easy top 4 UU, and SOTL is possibly the best naval UU, made even better by England's UA. The Pathfinder is the only peaceful UU in the game, and deserves honorable mention on the uniqueness of this (and the insane benefits it brings), but the Comanche riders bring the civ down a bit in terms of UUs.

A part of me feels that poor Denmark will get no love (as usual) lol.

Turtle Ship + Ship of the Line, OH THE ARCHIPELIGOS!

In terms of synergy, I'm gonna have to go with the Ottomans. Coupled with the fact that the Ottomans have the potential for a HUGE navy, these two UUs can get the Ottomans real military dominance in the Renaissance/Industraal

Conquistador is really strong, unless the enemy has pikeman or mounted lancer. Tercios then are good counters for both. They need siege, but your trebuchets/cannons will just do fine.

England: Love base Crossbows for defense and love the base Frigate for naval power; a pair of UUs that make units I already love even better? YES, please.

In addition, both units can be pre-built as cheaper earlier units and upgraded.

It's also really nice that the +1 range promotion for Longbows carry to the next unit when you promote them as well.

Their syngery is that the Ship of the Line works to spot a naval unit 3 tiles from your Longbow and which point both of them fire at it, which will inflict severe damage upon the target.

Synergy? Khans and Keshiks, no contest. Huns are pretty good too.

Anyone who didn't vote Keshik-Khan has not played Mongolia...

amen.

This combo is good if you're trying to take over a continent, but England's 2 UUs allow you to take over both YOUR home island and other island/continents.

So, i still think England is first, but Mongolia is a close 2nd.

Agree with the civs already mentioned, and perhaps an honorable mention somewhere should go to Greece for its two UUs both coming at around the same time and being strong for the time period. Though not as broken anymore as they were upon release, lol.

 

[sendos]

Mongolian UU combo by far.

 

[Human Crouton]

Mongolia fits the history of the civ so well. Their UU combo makes them a nearly unbeatable force during the Keshick's window. Amazingly fun to easily fight every neighbor you have at the same time.

Honorable mention to England, Ottomans, and Huns. Having two UUs that overlap in the same era is a powerful thing.

 

[Vitruvius]

Not counting great person has UUs then its the Huns and Rome. Civs that has two UUs but dominated by only one at a time include Byzantium, England, America, Sweden etc

Pathfinders are underrated. Comp bow that ignores terrain in as little as 5 turns?

I assure you with all my heart that pathfinders are not underrated.

I think its the Comanche that's killing them, not the Pathfinder.

I'm playing as England (Deity) and Mongolia just declared war on me. It would be game over if they were on my continent, but they're not. Hence, my SOTL can easily bombard/capture their cities, while their Keshiks run around like ninnies.

ENGLAND: 1
MONGOLIA: 0
