War-Cart (Sumer) - 30

 

[WillowBrook]

Conquistador (Spain) - 23
Cossack(Russia) - 22
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24 (23+1) Like the Jong, this is great for mid-game trouble making.
Digger (Australia) – 11
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 30
Garde Imperiale (France) - 16 (19-3) not a fan of units that need to be hand-built later in the game
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22
Hoplite (Greece) - 17
Hwacha (Korea) - 22
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 14

[Aves]

Winged Hussar off again? lol.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Yeah, looks like @drubell left it off yesterday.
Should be:
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 17
at last count.

Hypaspist (Macedon) - 14
Immortal (Persia) – 15
Impi (Zulu) - 19
Jong (Indonesia) - 25
Keshig (Mongolia) – 22-3=19 These things can't be prebuilt and it takes a while to get them up to Level 4. They are not the terror they were in V and they are not the reason Genghis is so strong.
Legion (Rome) - 28+1=29 It's location at Iron Working makes it more challenging to use than a War Cart or Eagle Warrior. It's still OP but it takes a bit more know-how to use.
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 23
Mamluk (Arabia) - 26
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 24
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 21

[Eliminator_Sr]

Conquistador (Spain) - 23
Cossack(Russia) - 22
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Digger (Australia): 11 - 3 = 8 (It's not bad but it comes very late when Australia is probably in runaway mode and the others on the list are just better)
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 30
Garde Imperiale (France) - 16
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22
Hoplite (Greece) - 17

Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 24
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 21
Pítati Archer (Nubia) - 28
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 21
Varu (India): 25 + 1 = 26 (Even better now with Chandra in the game and super useful ability - I hate getting stuck next to India in the opening)
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 19
War-Cart (Sumer) - 30
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 17

 

[Amrunril]

Conquistador (Spain) - 23
Cossack(Russia) - 22
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Digger (Australia): 8
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31 (30 +1) The early game economic boost this provides would make it top tier even without combat bonuses.
Garde Imperiale (France) - 16
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22
Hoplite (Greece) - 17
Hwacha (Korea) - 22
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 14

Impi (Zulu) - 19
Jong (Indonesia) - 25
Keshig (Mongolia) – 19
Legion (Rome) - 29
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 20 (23 - 3) Not a bad unit per se, but not good enough to compensate for the inherent downside of being a late game UU.
Mamluk (Arabia) - 26
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 24
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 21
Pítati Archer (Nubia) - 28
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 21
Varu 26

[HoorayForSiam]

Conquistador (Spain) - 23
Cossack(Russia) - 22
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24

Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22

Varu (India) - 26
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 19
War-Cart (Sumer) - 30
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 18 (17+1) Solid bonuses and cool design.

Digger (Australia) - 5
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31
Garde Imperiale (France) - 17 (16 + 1) I like to play peaceful, so my core 6-8 cities are normally on my home continent. Plus continents can be really big.
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22
Hoplite (Greece) - 17
Hwacha (Korea) - 22
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 14
Immortal (Persia) – 12 (15 - 3) With them no longer able to take cities, I feel like they've been weakened significantly.

Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 24
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 18 (21-3) they are alright stopping early archer rushes around your cities, but don't really add much for me
Pítati Archer (Nubia) - 28
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 22 (21+1) whether is the fact that you can just get them for free or the fact that they are outright strong, this guys kick some serious ass
Varu (India) - 26
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 19
War-Cart (Sumer) - 30
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 18

 

[grant2004]

Conquistador (Spain) - 24 =(23+1) I've got to give at least one vote to the conquistadors. I like units with an economic benefit beyond just their combat abilities. It's nice to be able to convert a city and save some faith with these guys.
Cossack(Russia) - 22
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Digger (Australia) - 5
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31
Garde Imperiale (France) - 14=(17-3) I can't help but compare this unit that gets combat strength on it's own continent with America's ability to add combat strength to ALL of their units on the home continent. That ability given to a single unit seems puny in comparison.

[MrRadar]

Conquistador (Spain) - 24
Cossack(Russia) - 22
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Digger (Australia) - 2 (5-3) Now it is the latest unit of whats left, so it helps Australia least.
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31
Garde Imperiale (France) - 14
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22
Hoplite (Greece) - 17

Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 22
Varu (India) - 26
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 19
War-Cart (Sumer) - 31 (30+1) Another early hard hitter, highly mobile in open terrain, and not penalized against anticavalry units.
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 18

 

[Rosty K]

Conquistador (Spain) - 24
Cossack(Russia) - 22
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Digger (Australia) - -1 (2-3) ELIMINATED. I'll take the opportunity to shorten the list a bit. Late unit, by the time it appears, it doesn't really matter.
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31

Mamluk (Arabia) - 26
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 24
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 18
Pítati Archer (Nubia) - 29 (28 + 1) - Will eat your Eagle Warrior's heart for lunch
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 22
Varu (India) - 26

[Siptah]

Conquistador (Spain) - 24
Cossack(Russia) - 22
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31
Garde Imperiale (France) - 14
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22
Hoplite (Greece) - 14 (17-3) The only bonuses these guys get is +10 if there is another hoplite nearby. Nothing else - no combat strength, no reduced cost, and spearmen are always possible to build without needing resources. I rarely see the need to build spearmen, and even more rarely a need to build more than one. The hoplite could have been different, but no, it's a wasted chance.
Hwacha (Korea) - 22
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 14
Immortal (Persia) – 12
Impi (Zulu) - 19
Jong (Indonesia) - 25
Keshig (Mongolia) – 19
Legion (Rome) - 29
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 20
Mamluk (Arabia) - 27 (26+1) besides Archers and Swordsmen (and Frigates on water maps), Knights are the most important units in the game. They are always OP when they come up (especially when you beeline stirrups). The Mamluk is not just a slightly better Knight, but a great improvement.
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 24
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 18
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 22

Varu (India) - 26
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 19
War-Cart (Sumer) - 31
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 18

Roman Legion +1. Stronger unit for conquest while it still matters. Forts are useless, but the charge can be used to chop, so it saves a builder's charge for something else.
Spanish Conquistador -3. Free city conversion is cool, but the bonus strength is just annoying to fulfill. I don't really like religious victory, though.

 

[Stomper66]

Conquistador (Spain) - 22 (21+1) Another vote to Conquistador for reasons previously explained. The Crusade or DOTF belief also make this unit indestructible.
Cossack(Russia) - 22
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31
Garde Imperiale (France) - 14
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22
Hoplite (Greece) - 14
Hwacha (Korea) - 22
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 11 (14-3) Going to vote down this unit again for reasons previously explained.
Immortal (Persia) – 12
Impi (Zulu) - 19
Jong (Indonesia) - 25
Keshig (Mongolia) – 19
Legion (Rome) - 30
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 20
Mamluk (Arabia) - 27

Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 18
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 22
Varu (India) - 26
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 19
War-Cart (Sumer) - 31
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 18

 

[The Highwayman]

Conquistador (Spain) - 22
Cossack (Russia) - 23 (22+1) The ability to move after attacking opens up a plethora of options while bypassing the one unit per tile rule.
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31
Garde Imperiale (France) - 14
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22
Hoplite (Greece) - 14
Hwacha (Korea) - 22
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 14
Immortal (Persia) – 11
Impi (Zulu) - 19
Jong (Indonesia) - 25
Keshig (Mongolia) – 19
Legion (Rome) - 30
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 20
Mamluk (Arabia) - 27
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 24
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 18
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 19 (22-3) The Pax B rework diminishes this unit's value. I'm not founding cities in the Industrial or Modern eras - I'm taking them. The proposed buff doesn't sound like it will save the Redcoat either, since Harbors are situational.
Varu (India) - 26
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 19
War-Cart (Sumer) - 31
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 18

 

[Karmah]

De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 31
Garde Imperiale (France) - 14
Hetairoi (Macedon/Alexander) - 22
Hoplite (Greece) - 14 -3 = 11 very bad unit nothing usefull about it , I won't build a couple of spearmean just for a bonus they can only have if they are together
Hwacha (Korea) - 22
Hypaspist (Macedon) - 14
Immortal (Persia) – 11+1=12 don't want to see it gone when garde or hoplite are still out there
Impi (Zulu) - 19
Jong (Indonesia) - 25
Keshig (Mongolia) – 19
Legion (Rome) - 30
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 20

[Kimiimaro]

De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24

Jong (Indonesia) - 25
Keshig (Mongolia) – 19
Legion (Rome) - 30
Malón Raider (Mapuche) - 20
Mamluk (Arabia) - 27
Minas Geraes (Brazil) - 24
Ngao Mbeba (Kongo) - 18
Redcoat (England/Victoria) - 19
Varu (India) - 26+1=27 - Deadly beast, especially when used by Chandragupta Maurya. They're maybe more expensive and slower, but they are stronger and they reduce the strenght of enemies, and if I'm not mistaken, this is increased for each Varu next to enemy.
Viking Longship (Norway/Harald Hardrada) - 19-3=16 - Out of the four naval units left, this is the least useful. Unlike Minas Geraes, De Zeven Provinciën and Jong, it can't shoot, so it can't wreck units/city without getting damaged.
War-Cart (Sumer) - 31
Winged Hussar (Poland) - 18

Cossack (Russia) - 23
De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 24
Domrey (Khmer) - 19
Eagle Warrior (Aztec) - 32 (31+1) Why not just call it game over at this point?
