5 Worst Units Challenge (One for each level)

[Zechnophobe]

You think Foremen + Miners is a 'worst 5' combo?

And seriously, anything other than Demoness' is going to be strong without the need to swap.

So far it has been very challenging. I've only found Bears and Devilfish (through bola). Clearing out Scarlet and Debir using only two stacks of terrible units. I'm starting to think though that bears are better than dwarves.

Casualties are almost unavoidable (Paladin) without archers or spell damage. I'm not sure if I'm even going to be able to get grand strategy. Maybe if I get an Ogre soon.

Got some good luck though, in that there was a knights shield nearby. That 300 extra leadership is making quite the difference so far. I may invest in Glory quickly.

How about berserkers for a lvl 2 unit..?
Nothing beats a low-def unit ramboing into the enemy with their 5 speed in round 1.
And Gobots? Sure its a ranged unit, but they die as fast and hit as hard as a peasent but cost tripple the leadership?

Anyway good luck on a tremendously annoying game!

switch the miners for beserkers and go with the foreman

i prefer a demoness above a foreman

why?

a demoness can seduce some troops

and swap units

which makes it very usefull

and it has a distant attack with no retal

(and u forgot that humanoids got a chance to miss the demoness)

all in all abilities of the demoness>foremann easily

[clinek]

the reason why i choose a demoness is because they give a negative morale bonus to the rest of the troops i picked. If you pick skeleton warriors and a demon for two slots, the rest of the army will have terrible morale. Foreman do have a slow speed but they are also tanks. Demoness's die like level one units and thier swapping ability can be good, but when your army sucks in the first place you would want to keep the enemy army as far away from you as possible until you can widdle them away with spells and rage skills.

I could see Berserkers. I haven't used a level 2 unit yet (or a level 4) so it wouldn't corrupt the game (though it'd make me feel silly for doing most of Debir with 2 stacks only).

+Berserkers
+Foremen
-Miners
-Demoness

I think that is going to be worse.

Amusingly, This is starting to look like a really high initiative army.

[Razorflame]

i beg to differ on that

mostly cause a beserker is inctrotable?(which means u can't cast spells or use rage on his turn)


foreman has decent initative but then again it is also very slow

i wonder if u are able to complete it with this setup

since foreman are very late and giants possibly too...

your limited yourself to devilfish(which has limited quantities, assuming they die very often) and bears same story although they die less often

i think this setup would work better with a warrior due to higher leadership issues

the beginning CAN be very tedious
but props for your efforts!

maybe can u give me a save file i will try it also

better comparsion then :

[Zechnophobe]

Well, Foreman have init 7, so do Devilfish. Berserkers have 6. Ogres have 6. That's pretty high. Bears not so great.

I did get the +1 init to animals dragon, which apparently doesn't effect devilfish. There goes my init 8 starter.

with this army your best bet is to group them all together to protect one another. Speed is not essential at all since they probably aren't going to be moved much. Initiative is however important since we want to use rage and spells as much as possible and as soon as possible to have any chance of winning. Who the hell is going to beat a group of dragons with devilfish and berserkers? beserkers are idiots so you can expect to lose the entire stack on each fight. i dont think it would be possible if your a warrior. You have to be able to utilize all spells or your going to lose...bad.
