Not-So-Useful units, buildings, GPs and wonders

[Kark]

In the real world, not everything created by man was successful.

And since I’m a Viking:

Quisling (Not-So-Useful Great Person)
Requires: Fascism.
50% chance of appearing spontaneously during an invasion of a capital, where he settles. Gives the occupant +50% defence and +2 in all occupied cities. (Wikipedia)

Balsa Raft (Not-So-Useful Unit)
Requires: Fishing & Jungle.
Naval Unit, strength 0, movement 1/2, cost 30, cargo space 1 (carries scouts, explorers, missionaries, spies, great people).
When placed in a costal square, it starts moving automatically away from the shore. If the raft lands on an island: -1 in all cities until Genetics proves that the inhabitants of the island in fact came from the other side of the ocean. (Wikipedia)
(Could also be Kon-Tiki, Not-So-Useful Unique Unit for the Vikings.)

Vasa (Not-So-Useful Unique Unit for the Vikings)
Requires: Astronomy & Gunpowder.
Naval Unit, strength 6, movement 0, cost 100, cargo space 6.

That's what Thor Heyerdahl knew, too. The rest was guessing.

Ah, yes, because Obama is a communist! He's also a secret Muslim and born in Kenya, right?

Can the OT discussion be taken to the proper forum? Thanks.

Do you always put words in peoples mouth if they disagree with you?

Moderator Action: stop the OT - discussion, please - we have an Off-Topic subforum for that

 

[Badtz Maru]

Do you always put words in peoples mouth if they disagree with you?

No, it's just the belief that Obama is a communist is almost always accompanied by other weird fringe beliefs. If you aren't a birther, good for you, but you shouldn't get center-left politicians mixed up with communists.
