Your favorite special unit

What is your favorite special unit?

[Venom]

A lawyer because no one brings more terror than a lawyer.

[Sean]

Spies are my favorite, just because the other units are so flaming ridiculas...

[phoenixcager]

I like that advertising blimp thing...what's it called?...anyway, I chose corporate branch in its absence.

Vote for Slaver

In my last game it was the slaver unit til I built Emancipation Proclamation. I had much fun to enslave my neighbours. OK the ai started, but it was on war with me anyway. In the later game I use the spy/cyber ninja unit to by buy foreign cities but that not so funny as enslaving.

I must say, that no other unit in the history of Civ games ever game me more satisfaction than the Eco-Ranger and his ability to Nanite-Cleanse.

[Immortal Wombat]

So true Skeeve. There is no better feeling that returning a 20-size city and 15 units to a pile of organic dust

I might make a scenario where you start with just a 10 space planes, 20 eco-rangers, and 20 enemy cities...

Mmmm, ero-rangers...

Arrrg, Martin you took my avatar thing.

my vote goes to slaver simply because they make really good early spies, allowing you to scout out the enemy.

[Rhuarc]

I personaly like the Spy/Cyber Ninja, just being able to walk up to an enemy city and steal their technology is so cool!!

[Mokael]

I'll have to go with a slaver. I found him (them) most useful as a reckon unit early in the game -- slaving abilities I consider a bonus

[Locutus]

Heh! where are the Noble and other MedMod units? Oh well, of these choices I'd say the Slaver (at least in the unmodded game). If you exploit slavery properly you won't even need any of the other units, you'll have won the game before they come available (except maybe for the Cleric).

Eco-Ranger. As good as a nuke without causing pollution! Get one at your local convenience store now just $9.99 + VAT.

early game, it's got to be slavers, especially so when combined with armies. it's more realistic, POWs. I mean how'd the slaver raid the city without the garisons being able to do anything??

later, corporate branches and subneural ads

[Skeeve]

I'll stick to my vote on Eco-Rangers, but I will say one thing in defense of Slavers -- at least they can be re-used.
Eco-Rangers are a one shot deal... but oh what a shot, indeed!

but to just destroy a city..... such a waste.....


slaver is the best. always include them in any group of army, even garrison
