anti steam and proud of it
CDO ....its OCD in alpha order like it should be -
Commando isn't usefull against an AI.
Charge, useful all of the time...well, maybe.
Blitz, only if you have already reached C5.
Ace, never used myself, always win games before aircraft.
Ambush, see above.You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence. -

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

IIRC, the Charge promotion is the "+25% vs. siege" thingy.
Blitz is really nice to have for a few of my cavalry, gunships, and especially destroyers (to wipe out those huge stacks of frigates & galleons).
Commando I like for those special penetration missions, saving someone's bleep after he almost died in an attack, or other extra-mobile reserve in enemy territory. Used for infantry and cavalry/armor.
I actually get these promos most games since I succumbed to the dark side and raised the XP upgrade limit from 10 to 100 (MAX_EXPERIENCE_AFTER_UPGRADE in GlobalDefines.xml). Allows for much more unit variability over the ages.Comment

Hmmm, maybe I should turn to the dark side myself? It's frustrating when you have that high XP units ending up in a status quo cause of an upgrade. Is that change instant, e.g. also valid for current games?
I might use all of that promotions depending on the situation. Ace I rarely use but that's cause I don't have so many planes with high XP (they get shot down
)

All those nifty promos are really for your great general units. Whom by the way, dont loose xp on upgrades.
Comando is by far better than moral. +1 move is nice, but using enemy roads is nicer. with of course, the exception of blitz units.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't use the Interception promotions.And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?". t s eliotComment

Commando > morale for most units. The problem is that you can't use enemy roads for your stack, and I'm not using my GG as a lone star... unless he gets an 'invisibility' promotion anyway

I like to get some horse units up to blitz, then upgrade to gunships. Gunships with blitz are so useful in a fight.
That's about the only one I use from the list in the first post.Rule 37: "There is no 'overkill'. There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload'."
