. The chariot is a very good military unit. It is very useful until tanks arrive. But I have to admit that I love nukes. A proper nuclear war never fails

I love the aircraft carrier. I just load up on all the fighters and bombers I can handle, then set sail into the ocean knowing that I am invincible and allseeing

For me Armors :tank: are the best 
. I considered that the majority would say so. But as I can see tastes differ.
I also think it's necessary to control the ocean, so Battleships are the best for it. But the ground is more important!
As for Nukes
: yes, they are good for taking AI's cities. Some units that ignore City Walls also can help. But first you must get closer to the borders of another civilization and Armors are enough fast and strong for such a mission.

-Diplomat, to steal inventions from te enemy!
-Riflemen, for they are cheap and defensive.

-Nuke, for obvious reasons

Catapault. I rarely have to go beyond catapaults to defeat all civilizations, often by 0 B.C.

Hmm You can have better units at the time of 0 ad.
Depends on time in the game. At the very beginning the best military unit is chivalry, for fast track to discover the world. The only unit that I never need is catapult. During republic/democracy the most valuable unit is diplomat.

Build a city with high trade potential (lots of reach into the ocean)
Put it across the world from a rival city with similar potential.
Build the colossus there.
When the cities grow up (President's Day helps) caravans can
bring in in excess of 200 coins each ... and
caravan revenue also counts toward research, so you can set science to 0 and still make a new discovery every turn.
