    smeg legions!!! need i say any more?
    we are armed with high tech laser bazookoids and ride around in an out of date star freighter named starbug.....kick yo ass!!!
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Evil's Light Infantry

    Very strong troops with tons of stamina. Encased in titanium armour. Mini-nukes instead of hand grenades, but their special anti-radiation blasts make them impervious. Also armed with assault sniper rifles with mini-nuke launchers. Have tiny Jewish Zealot knives which can instantly slay anyone.

    Now have nightmares about my heavy infantry.....

    They work by the same principle as wardogs. But instead of routing just the enemy the also rout all of your units. What results is a chain reaction of routs that spreads across the entire battlefield. Ironically, the crocs are just not fast enough to catch anyone.

    Legion of Forks
    Slow. Heavy armour. Fat. Reduces moral. Each general assigned to guide them will, over a number of turns, gain the "Lazy" and "Glutton" traits. The food in the region of this unit is depleted ever so quickly and the populace begins to post signs on the walls saying "Death to the Forks" and "Forks!? We don't want em!" On the battlefield the best tactic against them is to destroy them before they eat all of the food in the area. When you click on them they say "Use the Forks" for their prompt. Sometimes on the battlefield they get a rumbly tumbly and begin feasting on any nearby elephants, dogs or enemy soldiers. Don't put them near any unit you care about, this unit is renound for their flatulence and burping that has been known to deforest entire regions.

    My new Elite BMS (Brabanconne Mercenary Soldiers) will loot any place once they get there. Not only will this increase your treasury, but any spare money they will instantly spend on more alcohol. Their breath will rout any unit within 20 metres and kill any within 5. Also, their inclination to sing very, very badly when drunk will make the population of entire cities beg you to be enslaved and be send to the other side of your empire.

    Therefore, however, they are extremely unfit for garrison duty.

    I would just add in a good ol' British Rugby team unit for the British in RTW and MTW:VI, a unit of rough and ready gits who will politely challenge the enemy to a game with nice clean uniforms, beat the bloody hell of each other, and leave the field in bloody, tattered, and filthy uniforms. The Rugby players would then invite the enemy to drinks at the pub. The idea is to make it possible to weaken your enemy and not have to go to full scale war. He will be beaten up from the game, drunk from the beers, and have to put down a bloody rebellion by the dry-cleaners in all his provinces and cities when they see the uniforms they are told to clean. Not to mention, all the people who will have lost their bets on the home-team will go bonkers when they find out they lost.
    Fee Fi Fo Fum, I got in me veins the blood of an Englishman, Welshman, Saxon, Anglo, Scotsman, Picti, Irishman, Norman, and a bloody heathen Viking. No joke!

    This idiotic message brought to you by a person with a pure "British" family tree. If it settled on the British Isles, its on my tree tree, except Romans. Cheers!

    Azi's Drunk ________ Fans

    The ______ can be fans of American Football, Soccer, Rugby, Cricket (I guess, or do their drunks just fall asleep?) or any other sport where people find drinking to be more entertaining than the game itself.

    Their off (both tune and lyrics) ballads are sure to strengthen any nearby units. However, in battle they are pretty much worthless (think Sparabara from RTR) unless confronted by a similar foe unit. Then will ensue a brawl which would range through any bars on the map, finally ending with both sides in the local jail, where they proceed to make up (as they sober up) and decide to find another unit to go kick the crap out of.

    I have the ultimate unit which will destroy any other....
    the English football hooligan unit ... indestructible

    is constantly drunk = good stamina (if it wasn't for his beer belly)

    can sustain power water pump attacks from local police.

    may charge without orders.(takes orders from nobody ,not even Sven Goran Erikson)

    poor armour protection = is often seen in foreign football tournament hosting countries , wearing nothing on his top.

    but good charge bonus especially against enemy police.

    good at fighting in any weather = because he is up for a ruck at any time

    English stiff upper lip = will not rout they will fight to death.

    cannot sap = as he doesn't take orders

    fervent nationalism= their pride for their country lead them to take any opportunity at fighting Johnny foreigner for his country.

    I am as it happens English but i don't mind poking fun at myself

    ichi's fire crew, the ability to shoot fire into enemy formations, the lay fire on the ground to burn through enemy formations, produce smoke to obscure troop movements, and destroy forested areas to remove hiding places. Armed with axes, chainsaws, and shovels for melee combact. Unruly and expensive, this unit must have access to coffee.

    Mrs ichi proposed the household faction, which includes giant walking flyswatters (little legs, swatting anything in front of them, they get the Evil Star Wars Theme, da dant da da) playing as they march, and a similar broom unit to sweep the area clean of debris post battle. Any gold that comes near her is instantly transformed into jewelry.

    you take your burrito and place it on your shovel, then hold the shovel over the fire. Works best if you smoke while it cooks.

    War-mice. A low upkeep unit, that causes havoc amongst enemy elephant units. As they are very small, they are almost impossible to hit. Also effective against screaming women.

    Enoch the great, living among gods and trained in their arts. Walks the earth to deal justice where it is needed. On the battlefield he is a solitary warrior against his enemy.
    By his voice they cower.
    By his word destruction rains from the heavens.
    By his command the ground opens and receives its prey.
    By his stare death is distributed unsparingly.
    By his mind nothing physical can harm him.
    By his touch the world goes under; sic transit gloria mundi.
    Most people are other people.
    Their thoughts are someone else's opinions,
    their lives a mimicry,
    their passions a quotation

    On a more serious note, as I look at the units in this game, I find there is only one type of unit that is really under-represented in most of the games, & that is those who can conceal in the open (or more easily in trees). I have personally rigged several unit types to conceal in the open, but only those which have special reasons to, like celtic-warriors which were famed for their ability to literally rise from the very earth (they didn't mind sleeping on dirt, & they had no trouble sleeping directly in it either!) to ambush enemy columns.
    Fee Fi Fo Fum, I got in me veins the blood of an Englishman, Welshman, Saxon, Anglo, Scotsman, Picti, Irishman, Norman, and a bloody heathen Viking. No joke!

    Archbishops and foot Archbishops

    These light armoured, armed with gospels, bearded units when unleached in the battlefield will start to sexually harass enemy soldiers, causing them to flee. During sieges, you can have them stick their foot in their mouth (thus creating the mighty foot archbishops), which allows them to chant so bad that the besieged force will HAVE to surrender immediately.
