What is the absolute worst unit EVER

[Budwise]

I'm asking for either a screenshot of a really crappy general and/or a unit that is nothing but udder crap.

This weekend, I am sure to find a general that would rival the helmit wearing, snot nosed, one armed retard thats at the bottom of the learning curve in his special ed class. But right now, I want to talk about Balistas.

As far as I am concerned, Balistas are more useless than a paper hat during a hailstorm. I mean, even if you get their valor high (How the hell are you going to do that is beyond my comprehension) *I don't need another warning so I hope Hell isn't a bad word* I guess you could shoot peasants all day long while having spearmen keep guard, but who is going to do that. I mean I have a lot of free time, thats why I am writing this but still I can think of better things to do, like read useless post like this one.

Now, a peasant actually has a use. They are:
1. Arrow Magnet
2. Castle Door Opener
3. Flanker
4. Army Padding
5. Garrison Holders.
6. As one guy said before about them pooping themselves in battle - GREAT FERTILIZER!!!!!!
7. After Battles, WORM FOOD!!!!

Apart from shooting castle walls, Ballistas are useful for something: Killing enemy generals.

I once had a mercenary mangonel crew who got their mangonel smashed, then joined the fight (I was that desperate) , and actually routed an enemy unit! But half of them got captured, and because they were mercenaries, I couldn't put the unit back together when I ransommed them back I think fragments of mercenary artillery which are too small to fire are pretty close to useless.

Arab Infantry: Worst. Swordsmen. Ever.
I have seen vanilla spearmen beat them.

Nubian spearmen are on my bad list, I swear I've seen them retreat before peasants in battle!

Peasants obviously.

But the worst non-peasant unit? I would have to say Slav Warriors. They're good for when you want to sit out a siege and don't want to waste your best units through siege attrition. And, er, thats about it.

Disagree on ballistae, they are accurate, and one shot one kill for generals and kings. The ammount of times I've taken out a king with them - they are better at it than any other unit (maybe serpentines?)

As pretty much every AI launched projectile in MTW has some sort of general seeking property. AI controlled siege weapons are actually probably some of the best general killers in the game.
