Can anyone give me a list of all the unique units in civ IV? (including both expansion packs)
uhm... no?

What's up with the rough treatment of the OP? He is obviously new to the forum (April 08, only 5 posts) and may not know the way around here that well. Even if it is a dumb question (which I don't think it is to someone who is new) why not just either point him in the right direction (like some of you did), politely say why you can't answer his question (or explain why it is a dumb question), or simply say nothing and let the thread die?![]()

Now I feel bad.
I'll not make a single apology.
You should know that Google is your friend--I don't care if you have 1 post or if you have 1,000,000 posts. If you want to know, look it up before asking someone else or an entire forum to look it up for you. Some things don't quite follow this rule--but asking for a listing of something so simple as "Unique _____s" can easily be solved by Google. While it may or may not be the first or second link, it IS there.
While the argument may not be nice, some people continue to ask stupid things and expect others to help them and do whatever they can do to please them. I posted first because I saw it first--and I changed my post from sarcasm to plain English. We're not here to look up some stupid thing you can find on Google in a minute--especially if it's not a unique question. (oh, the irony!) This is a discussion forum and a help forum--not a "look-it-up-for-me-because-I'm-lazy" forum, if such thing even exists. Some things warrant discussion--some things warrant refusal.There is nothing wrong with that argument, and it is a completely valid view for you to have. But why reply at all then? Simply saying "look it up yourself" adds nothing to the community. Just move on and let someone else answer if they choose.
If no one answers because it is a dumb question or it can be easily found elsewhere, the thread will quickly die, and the OP will likely look somewhere else (either through his own search or in a different way that may get a better response.)
I'm not looking for apologies - I was just surprised at the types of responses Oldschooler88 was getting for a fairly simple and non-offensive question.
