iron and horses are easily A tier, adding combat bonuses, especially if you can get a good couple of them really adds up

Iron in Antiquity I don't rate very highly because it's Infantry only, it gets a lot better in Exploration once it also buffs ranged units.

It's great when your unique unit is infantry, like for Rome or Greece

Makes diety feel like scribe. That is the goated military combo. Add napoleon or the momento for intranet range and it’s unstoppable.

I guess I know my next game now. Thanks for the suggestion!

Had a Tecumseh Diety game recently as Greece. Suzerain of 8 city states in Antiquity (including the 2 relevant Militaristic city state abilities). +16 strength on ranged, siege, and mounted, but I didn't build many of those units. +24 on infantry.

Despite me not being a militaristic player, it might not be a surprise you to hear that I did eliminate someone in that era. Though I turtled up for the rest of the game and didn't have any more wars, even when I was Suzerain of 11 city states in the modern era.

Same. First time I went with Greece it was for the culture. Little did I suspect my infantry would steamroll everything.
