Best UUs in ciV

[Babri]

I play MP almost exclusively so based on the last month's post patch games and some pre patch....

Why all this keshik love? I have never seen them used in a MP game. Yeah onthe scenario they rule, but double moves in MP make them and ranged in generel way too hard to keep safe.

Q) Why is Keshlik so special ?

Answer :-

The main advantage they have is that they can fire arrows upon enemies without taking any damage & then run. Knights have problems chasing them because they lack speed & roads are quite uncommon in ciV so there is no way they can catch Keshliks easily.

• They have 5 instead of 3.
• They have a good ranged attack.
• They gain experience very quickly.
• They help Mongols in getting their other UU 'Khan' quickly.

The Keshik really is very awesome. You can completely steamroll entire continents (note the plural) with them. Being able to attack and withdraw out of range is one of the more powerful abilities in the game for any unit.
