Arcani - Useful spec ops or expensive masquerade?

Arcani vs rebels? Ouch.... meano >.< I'm sure the rebels know their mistake, why torment them with those weird people with two knives and really bad costumes? lol.

Arcani are a godsend for siege defense. Also when the enemy sallies. Or pretty much any time the enemy needs to come to you.
Their 'hide anywhere' makes them the ultimate ambush unit, allowing you to pick a wider range of tactics for an attacking army

If you notice they actualyl only use one knife as a weapon, the other one is apparently idle, but only apparently as teh Arcani actually get a small shield bonus like peltasts and such. That has got to be the other knife. But I must say I'm impressed, deflecting arrows and bullets with a knife... That takes skill!

Well as long as it is there they may as well put it to some use, anyone ever wonder why there is no Arcani myth even though there is a ninja one? Oh right Rome was sacked, nevermind.
