The worst vanilla Civ3/PTW Unique Unit?

[lz14]

Regarding MP, if my opponent is Americans, should I use bombers? Knowing if shot down it will trigger a GA for them.

Instead of the crappy F15, how about a navy seal to replace infantry?

The american UU should have been the minuteman.

Or an upgraded carrier, stronger and with more slots maybe...

I vote for the Man-O-War
I very rarely ever use a ship, i mostly play on Pangaea

I agree...or perhaps Green Berets? Or (and this may be considered radical), since the Americans are the only country with Stealth Bombers/Fighters, why not make that their UU? Why should the Mongols, Chinese, Koreans, French, English, etc.,etc., etc., get to have stealth planes when currently only one country has them?

Could other countries have them? Possibly, but if they were smart they'd announce it to the rest of the world, sort of a "don't mess with us" warning. And I'm sure if China or North Korea etc, had them, they'd have shown them off to the world long ago, to prove how "mighty" communists can be.

Would having stealth only for America unbalance the game? Possibly, but that's another debate. I think that it's a better UU than an F-15, which is about 5-10 years from decommision anyways. They are being replaced by the F-22 Raptor.

Not quite . The Raptor won't go into active use until late 2004 or the spring of 2005

For me the worst unit has to be the Keshik. It's just so underpowered and I was so disappointed - the Mongols really deserved better than a blah blah knight-style unit which is no better than a War Elephant.

But I LOVE the new Mongol units posted on this site. Especially the ones that can bombard! I can't wait to try them out.

 

[MaximusParthas]

The worst UU is hands down, "The Celtic Swordsman".
Great uits to have, but by the time you build a few your in feudalism and 'no more UU's'. Automaticly you build MI like everyone else. And the few you've built can be upgraded to MI.
I'd rather they not be upgradeable.

 

[MaximusParthas]

the Hwach'a cannot start a GA. (You have to kill a unit to start one, and the Hwach'a does not have lethal

HA Ha ha he he ho hee he... The producers have something against korea I see.

RE: a new unit for America. "Gunslingers" c'mon, the worlds most famous weapon makers established 100 year histories then. Smith and wesson? Colt? Dillenger? The list goes on.

BTW. the partroopers and chariots suck. Not UU's but they still suck.

 

[Gengis Khan]

Where's the "all of the above" option on the poll?

 

[Paalikles]

And where is the - edited to include the fact that c3c has changed the way these units act (ie hwach'a lethal bombard feature )

artillery units - good
f-15 - bah, if you havent had your GA prior to getting a jet fighter, then
Man o War - is tweaked in c3c

- havent tried c3c yet - so I guess I cant really conclude on this subject though

 

[IglooDame]

I picked F-15 for the same reasons everyone else who did, did. The American UU should be an upgraded Modern Infantry, either with either airdrop capabilities (reflecting the overall increased mobility of American land power) or better defense and speed ratings.

 

[anarres]

It never ceases to amaze me how people from the states think their UU should be an Infantry/Marine type unit...

The UK has by far the most highly trained and highly skilled Infantry units and Marines. If the USA gets a Marine with +1 attack we need one with +3!!!

Wow - sorry for the rant, you you were the proverbial straw.


Edit: Welcome to CFC by the way! I promise not to be such an ass next time I respond to one of your posts...

Man'o war, for me. anyway. I don't build naval units early in the game(except when I need to scout and transfering setllers to an island or continent). Also, until I can build submarines(because of their radar ability) or even better, battleships and AEGIS cruiser, I don't like naval units.

 

[Alone]

I think Hwacha. (as I'm informed all this 3 UU are improve in C3C, and thats nice, specialy M-o-War). I'm also bored with all those UU that come insted of Knight (except of course Samurai and War Elephant, they are truly Great!)

 

[Sarevok]

Man, O War

 

[Lynx]

id say the man o war

 

[Megalou]

Yes, you're probably right - if you vote for Man o War you will indeed have said it. Not that I see why you have to say that you have said it.

 

[The Last Conformist]

F-15. Too late to trigger a meaningful GA, and no better than the Jet Fighter at what it's supposed to do. The Man'O'War at least represents a clear advantage over regular Frigates, and is decently timed GA-wise.

The Hwach'a is actually a good unit. If it's indeed got lethal bombard i C3C, it's easily among the best in the game.

We've rehashed the War Chariot questions too many times already. I'm still not going to take anyone who disses it seriously.

I'm very hard pressed to see the point of the Conquistador as unit, but the GA timing is nice.
