Worst unit poll

[Sammas]

What do you think is the worst unit in the game?

Personally, I don't think i would ever build the Gnome cutpurse. It's comparable to a runner in resource cost, except that a runner has the movement, attack range and abilities to keep it out of harm's way. The cutpurse is slower, can't trailblaze, and needs to be at an attack range of 1. The best you could hope for is to hit a def 1 unit and get 150g back before it gets the smackdown from any other tier 1 unit.

Skeleton is the worst. No special abilities. but its very cheap so its really not all that bad. But I would like it to be immune from poison seeing as it has no flesh to be hurt by it... Also it needs something, come on.

I like this thread... Once you guys post some of the units you don't like, I'll play devil's advocate and post why I think those units *are* valuable in their own ways.

For now I'll say this: We worked pretty hard to make sure all the units were balanced, but some units' stregths are less obvious than others'. For example, The Cutpurse definitely isn't a combat powerhouse, but I maintain that if it's used correctly it can still be surprising powerful. =)

Hm tough one, I also don't like the skeleton, also agree with the cutpurse.

Thee worst has got to be the Human's Archangel. Too expensive, too slow, and not much armor (he's flying, so no terrain bonus), and relatively few hitpoints.

If his Peaceful attack could last for an extra round he might good to disable other top tier units. But for the money (6 human cities worth of income) and my style of fighting, I'd rather have 2 Paladins or 3 Wolf Riders.
