If the Americans get a second CU, what should it be?

If the Americans get a second CU, what should it be? Providing the American CU is the F-15 Eagle.

Enterprise Class: Carrier
Iowa Class: Battleship
Mustang: Fighter
Apache: Helicopter
Militia: Partisan
Seal: Marine
B-52: Bomber

An enhanced settler or worker type of unit. It could either work faster, or be cheaper. This would be to demonstrate that America tranformed wilderness into an industrial society very quickly.

Minuteman - stats somewhere between a musketeer and rifleman, with partisan abilities.

All theses UU/CU polls are boring

minuteman defenately. they should have the same as musketmen or whatever the typical gun toting unit is at the time but with hella movement bonuses

maybe treat all squares as roads

Historically the Minutemen were ineffective in battle. If they could reduce the stats and along with a reduction in cost and an increase in speed, that would be cool. America could have swarms of cheap minutemen that overwhelm its enemies.

Its true that minuteman weren't great in battle. They were just militia after all.

I do like the idea of special guerrila fighters, perhaps they'd get a bonus for attacking from forrests. That was when the minutemen were most effective.

On the other hand, the settler unit would be reasonable, a special settler that could do everything the civ2 settler does.

[EnochF]

I'll vote for the Minuteman as well.

We can use the same logic for Minutemen that Civ3 is already using for the Persian Immortals. Yeah, they might not have been more effective in battle individually, but their sheer numbers and the quickness with which they were mobilized essentially equate to improved stats.

Also, I don't want to overload the Americans with late-game power units.

[Steve Clark]

While I think the Minuteman is a good idea, I think the Enhanced Settler or Worker is brilliant idea. That truly would be a Unique Unit and one that can be easily defined in its context.

[tniem]

The U.S. used the carriers to dominate the sea for much of the 20th Century. An important fixture in the military even today although many military strategists now say they are obsolete.

It should be the unique unit.

Minutemen would be a cool unit but seems to only fit in Revolutionary war scenarios.
