The worst vanilla Civ3/PTW Unique Unit?

[Riesstiu IV]

Have to go with the Man-O-War. I almost get the tech for iron clads a few turns later.

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...

No worries. Ordinarily I'd say that an upgraded carrier should be the US UU, but if we're complaining about a lack of GA with a fighter, how bad would it be with a carrier? As to the other question - the American colonial frigates tended to best British ones one-on-one, yet the English UU is an upgraded frigate. I figure the way it is in Civ3 is because of sheer quantities involved in that time period, and that argument lends itself to a US infantry-based UU as well.

I say Man'O War is useless. Has a very limited use, only a little bit before ironclads are used.

I actually like F-15s. Sure some may say why not just use bombers instead, because of greater bombardment power. I usally don't bother researching stealth and F-15s are the only non stealth plane capable of doing a persicion strike.

From now on the F-15 with the lethal bombardament is not bad at all,actually it is a real U.U.As far as Man-O-War,i don't understand why you despise it that much.Ok it is a ship,but its a goog ship.On the other hand Hatw(korean U.U)...don't recall how it is spelled sucks!It is by far the most useless U.U,because it cannot enter a G.A.

It's Hwach'a.

I rather like it - BF=12 is extremely strong when it comes around.

Before Conquests, the Man-o-War was pretty useless. Now that they have enslavement and Ironclads have been pushed back a little, they might actually become decent.
