Best Unit in the Game... Any thoughts?

[SlipperyJim]

I'll put Team Tarrasque against nearly any blessable units. Have you looked at a Tarrasque's stats lately? They're significantly obnoxious. Poison cloud, regen, recuperation, high protection + HP, and bile breath. Think Uber-Hydra. Anything that isn't poison-immune will be in for a rough time....

Of course, hordes of undead will probably wear them down, especially if those undead have chill auras. A swarm of ghosts would ruin the Team's day for sure. But that fact just reinforces the previous statement about how there is no "best" unit in Dom 3.

Yeah, Team Tarrasque may beat most sacreds. Though, what about the summoned sacred some nations get now?

It will lose to a dozen or so S1 mages casting Magic Duel.

And again here we have the good old 'unit X will beat super unit Y and will lose to unit X counter unit Z' ect.

Hmmm ... I'm not familiar enough with the summoned sacreds. Did you have a specific example?

Team Tarrasque might suffer some pain from a bunch of E9N9 Niefel giants, especially if the giants had a caster along to make them poison-immune.

And I know about the Magic Duel vulnerability. Fortunately, I'm playing against the AI, who rarely uses Magic Duel. Otherwise, I suppose I'd just keep pumping Astral Pearls into Empowerment until my commanding Tarrasque is S6 or better.

(I never said it was efficient, just fun.)

On the subject of barbarian horsemen and tarrasques, i've seen the AI kill five tarrasques in one battle with nothing but T'ien Ch'i cavalry of various sorts.

I submit that the best unit in the game is a sprite. Those elf shots are evil.

Best unit in the game? I'd say any cheap, piece of crap unit you can throw Army of Gold/Lead on. That horde of Vine-men ain't so funny now, is it?

Haunted forest + dragonflies.
