Meh, Hwachas are even better
.I never really played much Korea and tried them out today, and mixed stacks of barrage / CR / Shock Hwachas are rather epic.
what is your favorite unit?

Airships. Of course, Civ4 airships are vastly OP compared with RL ones, which only worked (badly) against fixed targets [1]. But in the game, they sure can take the edge off a stack of enemy units in a hurry. Useful in defence and attack, and they look cool. Beloved of Alternate History fans like me, too.
[1] I used to live close to the pub in Hackney that experienced the first ever Zeppelin attack on London. It apparently made an awful mess of their flower beds. But to be fair, a few buildings were destroyed by Zeps, most notably one on Farringdon Road, there's still a plaque at the site.

Yeap, gotta 2nd "Privateers". They wreak havoc with AI (waste ALOT of time & resources building HUGE navies) + they really can reap alot of gold!* 
2nd choice = "Impi". They are SO fast & early = use to disrupt if not outright elim other civ's early in game.
* any posts regarding use of privateers up here?

Another cool thing with privateers is if you can find a technologically regressive AI you can often build up huge experience privateer units which later can become serious Destroyers.
The older version even allowed one to protect the pirates in neutral water by stacking it with a combat ship (a medic one was even better). It was like a mother ship. Apparently that was seen as an exploit, pfft

I love the stealth units like bombers and destroyers ... and spies but the Missile (or like I like to call him AEGIS) Cruiser is arguably the best in the terms of firepower AND mobility. With the raw power of 40 
, abillity to carry missilies or even tactical nukes it's probably the most powerfull unit in the game. It's only limitation is that it is a water based unit, not much of an use when You play on great plains

The other limitation is that most high level players finish before unlocking it. But I do agree, it is amazing

I have to give it to the Galleon. I like spreading religion, and it's pretty simple to load one up with missionaries and hit coastal cities around the world. And if the first one fails, the next one is often right there, waiting to go. So missionaries are nice, but seagoing missionaries are so much more effective!
