Something that had been kind of in the back of my mind since I heard about the amphibious promotions for units was that amphibious operations were the main reason for existance for the Marines in previous versions of Civ. However, has the usefulness of the jarheads ended?
Just seems like a waste to have a unit that is normally dedicated to amphibious operations when one could simply upgrade a unit to have that capability. Granted, that unit would have to go through a little more than the Marine would in order to gain the capability, but is it really that much of a difference?
(Just to clarify, I don't have CIV yet... Amazon screwed up my order, so I'm not yet able to go into the game and attempt to answer my own questions. )
