The inclusion of "fantasy" units does not bother me in the least.......as long as there is a way to disable the use of such units. I have to admit that even from STW-the original, I would occasionally use fantasy units as a fun diversion from a "serious" campaign. My "bridge-busting" army was a Kensei general and 15 BFN. In a heavy fog, there was no army the AI could amass that could withstand these guys. My "big red guy" could stand on the bridge by himself and smoke a cigar while the BFN chopped the opposition to shreds

Head Hurlers?? With a base missile attack of 17??? Okaaaaay Incendiary Pigs??? There were a few hilarious pics in the photo funnies topic that summed up their inclusion in the game.....Screeching women?? Now what's not to like about a kick-a$$ barbarian woman with an ax in her hand.....but unfortunately the AI spams this silly unit for Germania because they have an AP attack, but with a defense of 1, cavalry run them over without breaking a sweat.

And so on.......
