I mainly use artilleries, but I enjoy some air units whenever I get into Modern Age (or want some Modern Age gaming ).
I usually use a stack of Bombers (60-80, optimum for me is around 100) and together with an advanced explorer or a stolen military plan, I kill everything within reach. Then capture an advanced city and rebase all bombers there, rinse and repeat.
One amusing game I had when I first started C3C was Persians, Monarch Standard continents. I own my continent, Indians own theirs but for a handful of cities belonging to two other civs. I wanted to see the lethal bombardment thing, so I built up some 120 bombers. At the end of it, I used only a lone cavalry to capture/raze every single town on that continent. And the cavalry didn't even fire a shot.
I think that avatar pic very accuratley depicts your playing style
I know, that's my favorite tactic! It's a gas when they send a mega-Stack o' Doom into my territory, and by the time they've crept, one tile at a time, to my frontline cities, I've already bombed them into pulp. And my Cavalry on railroads easily mops up any remnants, and heads back to fortify in the barracks in the same turn. AI don't stand a chance. It's the easiest way to wipe out a rival's military might, when they serve them up to your Bombers as sitting ducks.killing enemy units, hands down...
its always funny to see an eager AI ready to prove itself and they wipe out their entire army before it reaches my closest city
