Maybe they seem weak, but they are cheap to build, and nothing can counter them until fighters show up. Great long-range artillery units, with no risk of losing the investment.Seriously. Kung freaking fu. -
I'm not sure I understand the poll. Yes or no to airships?
I feel they are overpowered, at least versus modern ships (destroyers and later). But for scouting they are excellent units.Comment

If there was only a scout mission I could assign them too, I'd like them even more.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I rarely build them... but if I do, it's usually for scouting missions. While I also wish you could assign them to "auto" scouting missions, I really wish you could use them to destroy resources instead of just attacking units.Keep on Civin'

Definitely yes.
Can't counter them at the time and as said above - cheap to build.
At that stage I can normally pump out 4 in 8 turns at the most from my military city to load up a frontier city for a war. Pretty much a free chance to soften their stack while your machine of war rolls towards it.Comment

I love airships. At some point adding another unit to your SODs adds very little value and airships is a better way to bring more strength to bear on the enemy. They can do alot of damage over time especially to moving stacks with no real riskif you want to stop terrorism; stop participating in it

I always build airships. They are great for scouting (as previously stated) but I love to have a couple of handfuls of them peck away at units stacked in a city I'm about to assault. Plus you get to upgrade them to fighters, which gives you an automatic air force while your enemies are still building theirs.Comment

If the poll was asking if I build airships, yes. They have some uses and can be upgraded to fighters.And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?". t s eliotComment

I almost never build them. They're probably useful, but they clutter up the map IMO. Actually all air units are annoying in the game.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

I always build them. Most games I also use them extensively; at least for LRPs, sometimes also for air strikes.Comment

Bombers aren't annoying.
Scratch that, let me rephrase: my bombers aren't annoying.

Airships are awesome, but I agree, by the time air units are into the game I want peace just to avoid the management issues...www.neo-geo.comComment

Funny you should say that. By the time airships become available, I'm usually just about ready to go bonking heads.Originally posted by johnmcd

Its the same advantage as privateers...if you get them early enough, your opponents have no real counter for a while.
And as said earlier, patrolling is great with them.Comment
