What is the best looking unit in Civ2?

[Thunderfall]

The ugliest unit is easy to see: the puny warriors, but the best looking unit is not as obvious.

So, forget about attack, defense, or fire power, which Civ2 unit do YOU think is the best looking unit?

 

[Az]

In ancient times I like Phalanx (reminds me of Asterix), Frigate & Cavalry

In Modern times I like Battleship, M.Infantry & S.Fihgter.

Talking about the worse unit Warrior is not the only one. There is also...Tireme.

I don't mean changing the topic here, but what do you think about it?

Eheheh. What's you symbol? Battlecruiser? Yeah, that's it

Very nice graphics indeed. The stealth bomber is quite good too.

Beyond the obvious phalic symbol -the nuke- I'd say the best looking unit is the AEGIS Cruiser.

Don't you like my picture, BlueMonday? Don't worry, you'll never get one like that from me. I hate nukes...

Why, the spy of course.

Ye, I totally agree that the worst lookin unit is the Warrior, then followed by the puny Horsemen, which i think should be more aggresive looking. Also, look at the poor Chariot unit, doesnt give of the idea of massive destruction (did you see gladiator? they looked threatening there...)

The best unit is unanimously the Stealth Fighter, esp. that it's great for wiping out undefended attacking enemy units. It's just so fun to fly through the front line and do some heavy damage with this slick lookin piece of machinery.

PinkyGen's got it right.

When I read the question, the answer came to me immediately. The best looking unit is the Lovely Lady.


As for ugly, you get no argument on the warrior, but the Archer (what's up with that stupid hat?)and Fanatic are rather unpleasant looking as well.

I'd have to say the AEGIS Cruiser, because it looks like the USS Mississippi(CGN 40), a real AEGIS Cruiser. I also like a unit I found on a website, it looks like a real USN SEAL, even down to the same model gun they use, the MP5 SD3.

I always wondered what was pulling chariots in Civ2.It looks ok,but someone forgot to hook up a horse.A chariot without a horse is kinda useless.

The settler appears to be using one of those divining sticks.

The warrior looks like a woman,What kind of people force their women to risk life and limb in the pursuit of exploration and hut hunting?

The cavalry unit..well that guy is WALKING his horse.What kind of tactic is that?Same deal with the crusader.Maybe he has a bible <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/wink.gif" border=0>

Why does the diplomat carry an umbrella?I've played for years and NEVER,EVER seen rain.Is he supposed be Jonathon Steed?(Avengers)

The helicopter looks very odd.I would not board such a craft.

I do like or at least don't hate:
Pikemen
Mech Infantry
Freights
Frigate
Galleon
Submarine
Elephant
Archer

The graphics mods out there really put the original art to shame

ps-is it me or does the charioteer look like that Martian guy from Bugs Bunny?you know that guy that was going to shoot you with his XP39 space modulator.

Now, what would Freud say about this

Of course, I'm the one who brought up the spy

 

[Archbob]

I like the Mech. Infantry myself and the stealth fighter is pretty good too.

I can excuse the warriors, because well--they are warriors.

Yeah, but why do they have to look like rejects from a Peter Pan drama club production?

Well, warriors are pretty worthless. So their look suits their purpose.
