Hello again forum.
I'm relatively new to Civ IV and am really enjoying it but want to get a bit more in-depth. I often find myself rather arbitrarily conferring promotions on units, giving one drill and the other combat just to hedge my bets... Some are obvious like guerrila for lots of hills and woodsman for woodsy areas but I still feel I lack a bit of knowledge in this area.
Have been searching for a strategy guide on unit promotions and have found bits and pieces here and there but no handy overarching strategy on exaclty what advantages particular promotions confer, what combinations it's good to have and what jobs units with certain promotions are best at undertaking. Does such a thing exist? I'm playing BTS btw.
Cheers
On a side note, I think building uber-veteran units is one of my favourite bits of Civ4 - what's the maximum level of troop you've got coming out of your military city withg west point, two military instructors and military civics on?
