Most useless units?

[Theov]

Good thing, that one can mod units out of uselessness.

For myself I have relabled the tech "Ironclads" into "Iron Construction". It allows the building of Pre-Dreadnought-Ships and is a required for the tech "Steel" (and yes, that allows Dreadnoughts ). The unit Ironclad has been moved to "Steampower".

And while I have not moved the Frigates, I have Catapult Galleys with "Mathematic" and Wargalleons with "Astronomy". So even the ancient seas are a much less peaceful, than in the orginal Civ3.

BTW even the Paratrooper has become more versitable by giving it all terrain as roads. Even the KI suddenly loves it.

Sounds nice. I'm still looking for a good Icon that goes with Steam.
Catapult Galleys and Wargalleons? What are their stats and prerequisites?

Catapult Galleys and Wargalleons? What are their stats and prerequisites?

I have not change much since I had descibed them last time:

Only I have shifted the last possible upgrade from "Steampower" to "Combustion" and "Massproduction" and have added some more units (z. B. Light Carriers with "Flight", Armed Transports, Coastal Defence Ships).

The most important upgrade paths are:

Catapult Galley (2/1/3, Iron, B1) > War Galleon (3/2/4, Salpeter, B1) > Frigate (4/2/5, Iron, Salpeter, B1) > Steam Frigate (5/3/7, Salpeter, Coal, B1) > Armored Cruiser (10/8/10, Coal, Iron, B2), Heavy Cruiser (14/10/12, Iron, Oil, B2) > Missile Cruiser (15/20/12, Alu, Uranium, B4),

Galley (2/1/3) > Ocean Galley (2/2/4) > Corvette (3/2/5) > Steam Corvette (4/2/7, Coal, B1) > Protected Cruiser (8/5/11, Coal, Iron, B1), Light Cruiser (10/6/12, Oil, Iron, B1-2) > Modern Frigate (8/8/13, Oil, Alu, B3),

Ship of the Line (5/4/4, Iron, Salpeter, B1), Ironclad (6/8/7, Iron, Coal, B1), Pre-Dreadnought (14/10/8, Iron, Coal, B2) > Dreadnought (20/16/9, Iron, Coal, B3) > Battleship (24/20/10, Iron, Oil, B3),

Torpedoboat (5/3/13) > Destroyer Escort (6/4/10) > Destroyer (7/5/14, Oil, B1) > Modern Frigate (8/8/13, Oil, Alu, B3).


Performance can vary between different flavor types (z. B. Yamato Battleship is more powerful, but slower than most other Battleships).

EDIT: Added Information about Bombard Ability (B = Bombard + Range) and corrected Typos.
