    Poll: Civ 2 bonus - archers

    With a few Civ Rev 2 threads that have come up recently, I thought of tossing around a few bonus ideas that could (hypothetically) make their way in.

    If the response if favorable, I'll try to post a new one every week or so.

    For the question, keep in mind that it is the best bonus to include in the game. Not necessarily the strongest. The broken USA rush bonus is just as bad as the 50% caravan gold "bonus".

    I'll also mention if the bonus is geared towards a specific civ, or just a general bonus.

    In this poll, we'll have these as Ancient era/start game bonuses.

    I like the idea of the +1 archer movement. It's potentially powerful; a protection units that can move as fast as horses and knights, but it still takes some planning and gold/production.

    +1 archer attack I think would be potentially too strong. By itself it's ok, but would be nightmarish to deal with if teamed with Fundy.

    Plus one attack. I like both movement and starting with BW but +1 attack makes them fundy archers essentially.

    With fundy it makes them legions with archer defense.

    +1 movement would be cool, but it doesn't make sense as much as it does with horses. I like the BW start as a Zulu defense and a jump start to a legion rush.

    Yeah, i like idea of starting with BW. +1 attack seems too powerful.

    Sending out archers as your first unit to vet up and set choke's is a bit strong I feel. +1 movement would be good to send with the horsemen.
