UU of PTW civ thread.......

[Zero]

really i heard they replace nothing

One concern that I had is with the Korean's Hwacha: If bombardment units are still unable to kill other units will this UU be unable to trigger a golden age? If not this will be a serious disadvantage. You would basicly be forced to get certain wonders if you want to get a golden age (and you *do* want to get a golden age).

Unless you are playing Diety getting a wonder GA is quite doable.

it can actually work for you instead of agst you, I hate getting ill timed GAs... but if you cant get the wonders.. ouch.

The Berserker sounds cool as hell, and not just because I think they're unbalancingly powerful. The only thing they unbalance in my eyes is the absurd focus on heaps of fast-attack units as the sole determinant of power... first, the Berserker is a foot soldier and still the undisputed heaviest attacker of its time, but its relatively poor defense and slow speed make it vulnerable to counterattack by knights and such, so it's not unstoppable. Secondly, however, it's an AMPHIBIOUS foot unit... if you load it on a galley, it can move three times as quickly and suddenly all those knights become a nonissue for you. The real implication of the Berserker hopefully won't be a gamebreakingly powerful ground-pounder, but a way to force the issue of naval power and thus make it really be worth something!
