Tnx, Plotinus. Out of curiosity, did you vote?

Snakelover: I had originally forgotten to mention that you pick two for them, so the second voter only picked one.

Sorry but some of the units I don´t understand, and, for the French, chevalier is just the same as a wee old knight. So what´s the point for that unit?

 

[Duneflower]

The idea was suggested by someone who commented that the French knights were thought of more highly that most, if not all, of their contemporaries.

Duneflower - You might want to put a bit of background in about these units if you want people to make an informed choice. Especially on the Mayans...

EDIT - Ignore that, just found your other thread, it helps a lot! You might want to link it in the first post.

I generally think that it's a bit unfair for a civ to have an aircraft or ship UU since the land units are so much more often used (in my experience). Then again I guess if you had two UUs for each race then it wouldn't be so bad.

I like the idea of a Chevalier for France. I also like both of your British ideas, but especially the Dread .

1 word...Dromon

 

[Keroro]

Yeah, I guess Dromans are OK, but that's more because they give the human player a bombard advantage against AI. I never found Dromans that useful. They're better than the Man O War, but I'd rather have Sipahi .

I thought of something else the other day, IMO the Koreans shouldn't get an early lethal bombard unit. The Hwach'a is available two ages before everyone else gets Cruise Missiles - doesn't seem right to me.
