Elimination game: The best UU!

since i have voted just twice i will vote now +2 for ottoman jan. and a 2- for the english UU (sorry you come soooooooooooo late in late game, cossax go away better :D )
 
WE HAVE A TOP 3!!
Seems this will be a fight between the Chinese Crossbowman replacing Cho-Ko-Nu and the Russian Cavalry replacing Cossack! When we look at how the units have been going for the whole time of the game it seems the Cho-Ko-Nu has fewer enemies and that has been keeping them so high while the Cossack has many allies and still at the same time many enemies. Mischief has been one of those holding the Cho-Ko-Nus on the top (;))
But it's now or never for the Redcoat. 5 points is not an unstepable gap - but it will be hard for 'em. Let's say some two give minus points to first Cossacks and then Cho-Ko-Nus and both give +1 to Redcoat..everything can happen :) We're on the edge of finishing so use your vote in a society of democracy!

1st place.- Chinese Cho-Ko-Nu – 10
2nd place.- Russian Cossack – 9
3rd place.- English Redcoat - 4
 
I'm happy to lend my vote to the Redcoat, and vote against the cho-ko-nu!


p.s. of course you barbarians used the opportunity when I wasn't around to kill off the Praetorian! :) ah well... c'est la vie.
 
Oh yeah? Well

+ Cossack

and

- Chu-Ko-Nu
 
+ redcoat
- Cossack
 
4th vote for me

+ Redcoat (no surprise there)
- Cossack (but only becuase I have to have a minus)
 
I have voted 1 time, in the 4th voting session, so I will wait for the 5th, where I will vote cho-ko-nu :) :P Instead, I will talk about why it is so much better than cossak:

Today in a game Im qui.. I get wall, oracle, prohpet :( anyways, I wait for engineer and pop machinery. build some choko.. Im 800 pts 2 civs nearby (human in multi) are at 600 and 700. The 700 is massing up like 3 horse archers, 4 cats, 4 chars, 2 axemen, and more,.. at my border so I think "hmm he will attack, I best take him out". So I make a deal with the 600 civ that we are like, friends?.. hes rome btw :)

Then I go attack that stack of 12ish units with 8 choko.. I lose one kill the rest with almost no damage to my troops he goes: "WTFF???!!!!!!!" And cant believe how pwned he just got and Im like "These arent ordinary warriors m8, theyre the cho-ku-no, with 2 first strikes and collateral dmg", and hes like "Dude please lets have peace!!".

At this time the other civ (backstabs) attacks me, with lol.. prats.. I send a few chokos his way, many prats die the rest run :D I even took out prats in forests like paper men,..

So at 800 using mostly choko nus (I had 2 cats) I defeated in a 2 front war one civ of 700 and one of 600 pts.. growing to 1400 but the 4th player is 1400 too.. I am first to lib but hes got gunpowder and Im overstretched. So I resign.

Still, no other unit is as strong as the choko. They get defence bonus, 2st strike (which also reduces collateral dmg by 20% per additional promo), and collateral dmg wich is TEH PWN! lol. :)

+ u can get them very fast with a Great engineer build. (unless u get pyramids for the large maps).

Cossaks.. 50% to other cavalry.. hmm.. nah ;)
 
2nd vote

+ Cossack
- Cho-Ko-Nu

If what Druidravi is doing is allowed (I really hope it isn't) then please also register 2 more votes similar to the above :)
 
Assuming Druyidravi and Piemaster's double voting wasn't counted the Cossack is now dead. Cho Ko Nu is on 4 and Redcoat is on 10.
 
1st place.- English Redcoat - 8
2nd place.- Russian Cossack – 5
3rd place.- Chinese Cho-Ko-Nu – 1

Here is the current situation. A LOT has changed but everything is still possible :)
 
My final vote:

+ English Redcoat
- Russian Cossack (only because I didn't want the Cho-Ko-Nu eliminated so quickly)

Cheers.
