I have been playing around lately on the best mix of forces to put in transports. Now obviously one uses more than a single transport to invade an ememy civ....
What I am curious to know is what other people would place on their own transports and think is ideal. I mean do you whack eight howis in there or blend the forces?
What I try to do is assemble a big enough force to wipe out an enemy civ in one or two turns....
But on each transport I usually place:
1-2 Alpine troops as scouts... three movement over anything helps.
1 spy for bribing, destroy enemy infrstructure
3-4 Howi for city attack
2 armour for killing enemy partisans...
I find this mix works well and is flexible enough to cater for most eventualities.
A few aegis crusiers usually provide defence against cruise missles during transit and I am not adverse to using a nuke or two (provided I have the settlers coming to clean up pollution) to open up a nice hole....
Bombers (stealth or otherwise) are usually follow on forces as I have found in most diety games that the AI has a propensity for stealth fighters. Obviously the number of transports involved in any campaign are contingent on the size of the enemy civ.
Thoughts? Additions? Comments? Bullets?
