I've mentioned many times I prefer stack combat, and diversity is another reason. In CtP2, late Industrial Age I use:
Machine Gunners - very decent all-around infantry
Artillery - bombarding and very strong ranged attack
Cavalry - for quick raids and pillaging
Infantrymen (Musketeers) - cheap defensive infantry that I can mass
Spies - intelligence, enough said
This is not to mention the different types of ships...
In Civ 3, early Industrial I use:
Cavalry - attack.
Riflemen - defend.
Then, Infantry replaces Riflemen (at which time it's near impossible to take a city, Infantry defends better than Cav attacks). Then, Tanks replace Cavalry - but that remains two units at all times. With then possible "speical" support from Marines, but there's a ton of those in CtP.
Stacked combat is better, all, all the way.
