Best PTW UU based on current information?

[kolpo]

Conquistador* (3/2/2) Explorer
Keshik (4/2/2) Knights
Berserk* (6/2/1) Longbowman
Gallic Swordsman (3/2/2) Swordsman
Numidian Mercenary (2/3/1) Spearman
Sipahi (7/3/3) Cavalry
Ansar Warrior (4/2/3) Knight
Hwacha (12/1/1) Cannon

* Spanish Conquistador unit doesn't need gunpowder resource, treat all terrain as roads, and doesn't replace anything. Berserk can launch amphibious attacks.

NOTES: berserk costs 70, Keshik are cheaper then normal knights.
edit: Gallic Swordsman costs 50 shields + Conquistador stats changed
edit2: saw on civfanatics chat log that Numidian Mercenary will cost more then hoplite.

I doubt between beserk and Sipahi(because calvary is already very good in attack) but beserk is my final choose.

I heard Conquistador is 3/2/2 treat all terrain as roads replaces explorer

they all seem pretty powerful, but the Gallic warrior will be invincible in the ancient ages

i agree, but i still want aphibious attacks in the mideval age

Damn, it's been a long time since I've been here. I wonder if anyone recognizes me?

Anyway, I figure the Sipahi. Why, do you ask? Well, I've noticed that once cavalry comes in everyone goes on the war path to gain as much territory as possible before riflemen apear and make everything stalemate until tanks arrive. I know the cossacks have given me a massive advantage in this era. It looks like the Sipahi could do the same.

a unit with attack of 3 and movement of 2 when the most likely defenders have a value of 2: the Gallic swordman will be very difficult to stop, and will still be useful well into medieval times, until gunpowder.

Is The Banana some kind of god and can it only be built by... the Apolytonians?

[Trifna]

I chose the banana because nothing ever beats the banana.

By the way, I found out from recent Apolyton chat, that Galic Swordsmen cost 50 shields, so it won't be that much game breaking.

I like this version more because it really fits the spanish very well.

The spanish conquistadors where indeed very good in exploring the new world and beating the native tribes and 3 attack is enough to beat down a civ of the tech level the indians where. They can now really play there true rol of fast conquiring primitive tribes in new unpasable continents.

I can't see why the Gallic Swordsman should have faster movement than regular swordsmen. Btw. what is the movement of the Roman Legion? I think the Legion should be the fastest ancient unit without a horse. Maybe the Gallics could be just as fast moving.

I voted for the Viking Berzerk, because it's attack from a boat is cool and very Viking-like.

Yeah the Gallic Swordsman should be replaced with Obelix:
14/12/3 +100% attack vs legions and privateers(pirate ships )+10 bonus hitpoints and needs boar resource +heals when on boar resource. Still maybe too weak for him
