Good creature AI for BW1

[leathaface]

I know this question has been asked many times, by countless others, but i have a specific request.

I want a creature that is naturally a great fighter and can win almost all the time (without my assistance).
I've completed BW thrice, with a Rhino, turtle and lion, and this time, i just want to build up cities and interact with my creature...

im lookin for an interesting personality and a skillful combatant.

So which creature shall it be?  :devil

The lion is the best choice. It has a good personality, and is also one of the game's best natural fighters. Although, i find it much better to atleast partly help my creature in a fight, its difficult to get it to fight well all on its own.

Try the Gorilla. It's a big strong dumb Ape. Easy to train and has a nasty punch.

Or the Polar Bear. (Doesn't look too nice if all bruised up though.)

 

[Gremxula]

Tigers are hard to train but slow to forget, so they can also be a good choice.
They are also good fighters and tough.

Ya the lion is good, but he only looks good neutral. If you make him good or evil he won't look as cool. The horse is fairly good at fighting and isn't violent towards villigers.
