Well, i find it very useless - i bombarded a miningsquare on a hill 5 times
with battleships, all were failures.

I use it to my advantage when attacking. I only require one or two
battleships at full strength for protection. The rest can bombard
away regardless of strength. In the end my ships will do far more
damage to terrain their bombardment back does.

The Korean UU was given lethal land & sea bombardment. Without it, the
Hwach'a won't trigger a golden age.

That's the special Korean Unit: a deadly artillery piece.

What about the English Man-o'war, then? I think that winning a "normal"
naval battle is enough to trigger a Golden Age - at least in vanilla
(patched) Civ 3. I seldom play English, however (I find their attribute
badly assorted: the expansionist trait works better in maps with a lot of
land, while the naval UU is most powerful, of course, in maps with a lot of
water), and I seem to remember getting my GA by wonders - so I may well be
wrong here.

The man o war is a nice unit. Whether it has lethal land or sea bombardment
i don't remember. The English traits have changed in C3C. They are now
seafaring/commercial. Two very powerful traits.
