5 Worst Units Challenge (One for each level)

[Zechnophobe]

I was about to try this when something occurred to me. The biggest danger could be running out of a given unit type. I mean, if you choose Devilfish as your level 1, there may not BE even close to enough to build an army later on in the game. Not sure if 'cheating' to get a 'bad' army makes sense.

Here's what I'm going to use:

1 Devilfish (Ultimately I think they may end up being worse overall than peasants)
2 Miners
3 Bears
4 Demoness
5 Ogres

meh that´s a pretty good setup

use demoness to swap the fuckers

use phantom to the fullest
and smack the stacks


bears/ogres/miners bashing the targets that has been swapped is pure gosuness
^^

edit

i would swap demoness for foreman

(demoness got quite good skills)

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.
