Hmm there are a lot for this.
All Eastern Javelin Cavalry, Toxotai, Balearic Light Infantry, Hoplitai Haploi, etc
But my number one is Celtic Chairots-Can't kill anything with their missiles or meele, and a slight breeze can wipe out whole units.
I shouldn't have to live in a world where all the good points are horrible ones.
Is he hurt? Everybody asks that. Nobody ever says, 'What a mess! I hope the doctor is not emotionally harmed by having to deal with it.'
Hum, I have to disagree with most of you, since I dont think any unit is useless.
There are some very weak units like the pantodapoi, but I can always give some use to them, using them to distract enemy phalanxs to attack them from the back with cavalary (even skirmisher cavalry are good enought to this job) or shock troops.
And with the elephants or the scythe chariots I have to fully disagree since they are an battle winning force , you just need to use them right and carefully.
And the toxotai, they helped me an lot at the start of my epirus campain, helping me to have greater numbers with small costs while facing the lots of mak stacks and they worked very well.
To be honest, I think normal elephants are the worst: they usually rout and die randomly, and ANY form of projectile will instakill them! Especially as they cost a small fortune and are hard to get (especially for factions that have conquered the territory which produces elephants).
Wow. Seriously? That's wack.Originally Posted by blank
