UU All-Star Team

[crawf0rd]

Exactly as the title states, why don't we make a UU all-star team? This would apply to the new civs as well as the old ones. The different positions would be:
Ancient Era Melee/Naval
Ancient Era Ranged
Classical Era
Medieval Era Ranged/Naval
Medieval Era Melee/Mounted/Siege
Renaissance Era Gun
Renaissance Era Mounted
Renaissance Era Siege/Naval
Industrial Era
Modern Era

Any suggestions on how to better arrange this would be appreciated. There's probably a better way to position them.

All I know is Mehal Sefari is on there

 

[Thyme1994]

I'd say the ottoman janissaries are the best UU !

 

[Xichael]

Dromon are pretty stellar in early game naval battles.

 

[Slvynn]

ancient naval = q-reme , assuming its very cheap cost and aviability from sailing

 

[Zaimejs]

Phalanx.

 

[JanghanHong]

Both Phalanx and Q-reme suffer from the Greek syndrome. Powerful on paper, not entirely useful.

I'd say that Jaguar warrior is the best ancient UU.

 

[KevinJK]

Camel Archer now has 17 strength, 21 ranged strength, and 4 movement on a ranged unit with the ability to move after attacking.

It's overpowered like Keshik always was, but trades a small movement loss for lots of damage.

For Renaissance Era Mounted UU,It's quite difficult to choose between Hussars and Cossacks . Hussars get a huge bonus,but need someone to flank,while Cossacks just need a support from any ranged attack to activate their bonus . I'd say that Hussars are better in offense,while Cossacks are better at defense .

IIRC, those are Industrial UUs.

Yeah, that arrangement is sloppy. This is the format I'd recommend. (ranged and siege are combined)

Ancient and Classical

Melee
Ranged
Mounted
Naval

Medieval

Melee
Ranged
Mounted
Naval

Renaissance

Melee
Mounted
Naval

Industrial to Atomic

Melee
Mobile (tanks and horses)
Air

Those are you category choices. XD Merged some eras due to lack of unit choice variety (to make the "all-stars" more important).
