Ouchgeddon
Spectre General
I wanted to restart the thread on UU's for the civs. The history behind the UU ideas rocks! But I hope it ends up well organised and such...
Basically, what UU's should a civ have instead of its official one, or what if a civ had 2 UU's? (added backgriund history and actual in-game difference, such as what unit it replaces, would be great)
I think Germany ought to have U-boats, they were an extreme threat in the war, forcing America to choose between using convoys to protect either troop ships or cargo ships (they chose to protect their young men).
British Spitfires might work, since RAF managed to fend off a much larger Lutwaffe. Luckily Britian isn't connected to main Europe by land, or Panzers would have changed that story. But anyway, air-superiority units tend to suck...
That includes USA's air superiority, isn't well represented by the F-15 in its current form, whereas its Stealth Bombers were a defining factor in Gulf War.
Other obvious options: Chinese Imperial Guard (with those "kuan-to," large-curved-blade spears), British Redcoat (they make easier, unflinching targets - ha!), American Pioneer (2 movement Settler, or else Cowboys/Gunslinger), American Actors/Pro-Wrestlers(um...happiness?).
On a related note, Spy Sattelite would be a nice addition to Sattelites tech, make it a Small Wonder that gives once in a while enemy territory 'scan'.
