  • Best Looking Unit

    Just curious as to what everone thinks is the "coolest" looking unit in the game. Personally, I like infantry the best. I love the sound of their rifle reloading, and I love their doughboy helmets. Maybe its because I am a WW1 history buff.

    My second favorite is the Impi. I like the headress. Anyone else have a favorite?

    My favorite is probably Modern Armor, since it's so intimidating, or the Panzer because it 0wnz0rs (in the game and in history ).

      I like the marine's look.
      A pity that it is so useless in the original game.

      I powered it up a little in the editor. Maybe this way I am going to see more of them.

        Mostly the things I don't see much.

        Egyptian chariot. Has anyone even SEEN a chariot except Egyptian? I don't build them and I haven't seen the AI do it either.

          Paratroopers in action. The "paradrop" animation is pretty cute

          Other cool units, in no particular order: the russian Cossack, marines (too bad they're almost useless, just like the paratroopers), Panzer, MA, Immortal.

            I Like the war elephant (fav Civ 2 unit) and the Chinese RIder. Modern Armour is pretty fearsome, and has a great sound effect.

            I think my favourites are the tanks, the way they bob up and down when waiting, and the way the turret bursts when they get beaten.

              You should make a poll!

              My fav one is the Modern Armour.
              The swordsman is also a nice one.
              The Knight is a cool one as well.

                Ironclads are my favourite. Putt, putt, putt, bang!
                Sneezy the rifleman is also a laugh.

                  I like the Battleship - the full broadside salvo is cool and when they sink it's like the Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor.

                    I see some... sometimes...

                    Else, I like ICBM.

                      It is indeed very impressive. Unfortunately such a powerful bombardment makes the "artillery bombardment failed" message even more disapointing/annoying.

                        I like the Radar Artillery.

                        The new Gallic Swordsman looks sweet.

                          The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

                            In order:

                            Legionary (Love their 'fortified' stance)
                            Battleship (Impressive Bombardment animation)
                            Infantry (joyous little 'victory dance' on promotion)
