Create a Super Civ (for fun)

[redwings1340]

Every civ in this game has one UA and two other uniques (improvement, building, and unit). If you were to play a super civ that contained any UA in the game and any two other uniques, what would you choose?

My initial choice for pure early development to get a huge lead would be
Poland's UA
Pathfinder
Terrace Farm
Hill bias

I haven't thought about this too much though, so I'm probably missing some huge abuses that could come from chaining some UAs with other civs UUs. What's the most broken civ you can come up with based on what we have so far?

EDIT: As an additional challenge, try to create a civ that could counter or compete with one of the civs already listed here.

 

[Lorf Yimzo]

G&K
Poland UA
Chateau
Longbowman

Easy Culture Victory.

 

[jlim201]

Bnw

Ikanda

Longbowmen

Assyrian UA

Quite easy Dom victory

 

[redwings1340]

G&K
Poland UA
Chateau
Longbowman

Easy Culture Victory.

I think using Poland in G+K is cheating a little (especially considering Poland is OP even in BNW). That would be kind of ridiculous though.

Zulu UA: Melee units cost 50% less maintenance. All units require 25% less experience to earn their next promotion

Mongolian UU: Keshik

Polish UB: Ducal Stables; +15% production and +15 exp for mounted units. +1 production and gold per pasture.

Keshiks already have a 50% exp boost, now they start with an extra 15 exp, and require 25% less to level up. In addition, that production boost from the ducal stable means you'll be getting more of them, and faster. Furthermore, your melee units that you build will cost you half as much as usual. Mongolian domination is already pretty sweet, but this would just make it insane!

Constantinople UA: Pick a bonus belief
Pictish Warrior: Gains 50% enemy strength as faith
Stele: +2 faith

Have the ability to control religion in your game with this setup.

Mongol Terror
Keshiks
Mandekalu Cavalry

1. Get lots of horses. 2. Research Chivalry. 3. Annihilate every civ and city state in the world.

In another thread I made I mentioned that I had received 4 or 5 mandekalu's to go with my Keshik force of doom. Wiped monty, casmir, pedro, rammeses and isabella off the map on quick emperor. Phew.




Anyways, mine would be:

Assyrian UA
Pathfinder
Battering ram


If you didn't see what I did there, you'd run a pathfinder into a ruin, choose upgrade unit, and you'd have a ram @turn 5 that you can sack somebody with.

 

[Fish Man]

G+K
Assyrian UA
Longbows
Impis
let the slaughter begin!!!1!11!

 

[redwings1340]

It's interesting how many of these super civs are running around with horses, especially considering how weak I consider horse units to be normally. Anyway, here's another one that's a bit less warlike (can i get to the flight before you guys get chivalry?)

Babylon UA
Coffee House
Floating Gardens

Hello Great Scientist #240! How are you doing today?

 

[isau]

BNW

Sweden's UA

Merchant of Venice

Coffee House



As if Diplomacy Victory weren't already easy enough.

Except Pathfinders will always upgrade into Composite Bows, you can't choose what they upgrade into. It's Warriors that turn into Spearmen (and hence, Battering Rams)

Anyway I suggest this:

UA: Population Growth

UB: Floating Gardens

UI: Terrace Farm

Go Tradition, enjoy your 70 population capital.

Alternately...

UA: Druidic Lore

UB: Longhouse

UU: Jaguar

Have fun with being unstoppable in Forests.

Ooooooor...

UA: Achaemenid Legacy

UU: Pracinha

UI: Feitoria

Truckloads of Happiness and units that advance the acquisition of the Golden Ages that make them even stronger. Definitely lends itself to interesting tactics.

 

[Loucypher]

UA: Population Growth

UB: Floating Gardens

UI: Terrace Farm

Go Tradition, enjoy your 70 population capital.

An interesting try, but why not go with...

UA: Father to the People
UB: Floating Gardens
UI: Polder

That way, you can ramp into even more food on certain city cites, while playing the city state game to keep up your happiness.

 

[Light Cleric]

UA: River Warlord(You are going to get SO much gold)
UU: Horse Archer
UU 2: Camel Archer

It's a shame my super-promoted Horse Archers are becoming obs- oh wait

 

[Professor Pedo]

UA: Babylons unique abbility
UB: Coffe house
UU: B17 Bomber

Using babylons unique abbility and coffe houses
to pump out great scientist like crazy you can get to
bombers first and beacuse the b17 bombers are stronger than normal
you can easily dominate the world.

Venice+ Germany UB (hanse) + random UU (it doesn't matter) = tons of production.

 

[redwings1340]

Venice+ Germany UB (hanse) + random UU (it doesn't matter) = tons of production.

Well, on one hand, Venice's UA kind of requires the merchant of Venice as a unique person. On the other hand, since we're cheating here anyway, we can add the bazaar in to the mix for some ridiculous gold and production action that would be favored and built by puppeted city states anyway .

 

[HaloCapella]

UA: great expanse - free tiles, free defense. settle right away
UU: Horse archer - no horses needed, build right away
UB: Paper maker - free research, free gold. build right away

take em down before they can flinch.

UA: Art of War - more and effective generals
UU: Samurai or Companion Cavalry - more generals
UU: Khan - faster generals that can heal

GG Heavy

 

[Smote]

UA: Babylon's
UU: Horse Archer
UU: Camel Archer

Get those camel archers quicker.

1. Byzantine UA
