Elimination game: The best UU!

[Civ4Rocks]

+Keshik (These are great, rush for archery and horseback riding and than start pumping them out)
+Cho-ko-no
-Immortal
-Camel archer

 

[Stylesrj]

+ Fast Worker + Navy SEAL (can I vote for that again or is it too late? If so, my other vote wll go to the Fast Worker again)

- Panzer (when I battle the sword weilding savages, they don't have Tanks, so the Panzer is useless), -Jaguars (Never played as the Aztecs, and it just seems useless, I mean come on, if you need Iron that bad, go conquer some with your Macemen)

 

[zooropa86]

i love the cho ko nu and redcoats

if this were civ 3 i might have said impi.

negative for the jaguar.

- Quechas; a unit designed in a way that means the AI can't make use of it.
- Quechas; a unit with little added versatility over the unit it replaces.

You don't like it, I guess.

 

[Thedrin]

No.

 

[Swedishguy]

WHY when they are so good?

 

[Thedrin]

Because the AI can't use them. Only the human player can get the best out of it. While this is true for all unique units it is particularly pronounced for the quecha. I have never feared quechas under the AI's control. Not so jaguars, skirmishers, war chariots, nubidian mercenaries, samurai, cho ko nus, keshiks, immortals, camel archers, cossacks, redcoats, praetorians and panzers.

As some guy said to me: It isn't good or bad we like to hear; It's those we LIKE!

 

[Thedrin]

And I don't like the quecha for the reasons I've given. I do acknowleddge that it is a unit with uses.

 

[Bongo-Bongo]

My second set of votes:

+ Redcoat
+ Numidian Cavalry

- Praetorian
- Fast Worker

 

[Swedishguy]

++ Fa(s)t worker

-- Coss(u)ack

 

[Arlborn]

+1 = Quechua, Cossacks

-2 = Musketeer, Berserker

 

[Swedishguy]

Good, except that cossack and berserkers should swap places.

 

[pukii]

+1 for cossax
-1 for the one who isnt out yet (in lower order although i think he is out for sure SEAL, Gallic Iceman, Immortal or Keshik (i just dont like this early horses sorry guys)

 

[pukii]

aah and my second vote goes to :

+1 korean catapults i just love them

-1 hard to say pick one of the 4 above, and if all are out already then i would like to kick conquistadors because i rarely ever play this civ and i dont like knights so much

 

[eric_]

I can't really say which are my favorite, especially on Warlords as I still haven't really played it out fully.

But I can say which are my least:

Quecha - I like my civ to be well-developed before mounting any sort of serious, sustained attack. Also, I always have CG1 archers in place by the time anyone attacks me.

Impi - Great if your opponent has no bronze or iron and has oodles of horses and chariots, otherwise they're essentially worthless.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

Gallic Iceman

Are you drunk? Gallic Warrior.

Gallic Iceman. The more times you hear it, more hilarious it sounds.

 

[MartinhoMukanga]
