Naked Fanatics...Are they of any use?

[unseen11]

I just can't seem to find any use to them, they're 2 turn build time doesn't seem to be of any point since they aint that great.

Has anyone used them effectively? I think they may be of use on stone walls.

[Dutch_guy]

they are good shock troops, especially in the beginning .
But I find that they become useless when you can get Chosens and Forresters

[Beefy]

cannon fodder? speed bumper?

[Uesugi Kenshin]

They are good shock infantry in the beginning of the game, but once you get access to better trained and armoured chosen swordsmen they become obsolete.

[Ldvs]

Their only advantage is the high morale, otherwise, they're useless. In RTR they are a little bit more useful but still, I think it was just another "fun" unit with no particular purpose.

[player1]

Good for flanking, since that's whne their attack shines and their low defense is less important.

Also, they have low upkeep...

But personally, I favor Woad Warriors more. Available earlier, plus faster.
