"Worst" Unit

[mlp071]

Toxotai. Definately.

Actually, i was using them in my Maks campaign over Cretan archers, with almost same resuts.Plus if anything else , they got flaming arrows , very potent morale killer.Get 2 units of Tox on Gaesatae with fire and generaly they will rout pretty easy.

For 89 mnai upkeep you can't complain with that.

I would say most of javelin cavalry is pretty useless , due to smal number of javelins and low charge ability.You can only chase routers with them , and that's not enough for me to have them.

i dont see why every1 says Toxatai i love them unless i have Cretans but u cant always have them and toxatai are cheap and to the point and they can do at least some damge to an enemy unless of course the enemy is elite =p

i would have to go with British Generals.. most Chariots are OK for the most part but they lose soldiers to fast and put a general on there and u have a genearl-less army in a few seconds from one stray arrow no joke i had a 6 star general get killed by a Celtic Archer that was aiming at the unit BESIDE the general thats how crappy both Celtic Archers and Chariots are

i don't there is a bad unit, all the bad units have their roll on the battlefield and as a player you must lear their roll, i mean youre not going to use a levy spearman unit to fill the gap a elite heavy unit it is going to cover ie. youre not going to use pantadopoi to fill in the gap of thorakitai argaryspidai, i mean everyone talks about pantadopoi and toxotai being bad units, well i dont use them often but pantadopoi can make good reserves or cannon fodder, so in my humble opinion there it is no bad unit im a not an expert myself but i always try to give each unit its roll in the battlefield, haha please don't flame me!...

There was mention of justifyable use of catapults/projectors on page 2 of this thread. It was to knock down gates in heavily populated areas, such as Greece. I have an alternative suggestion:

The projectors cost how much again? How many spies could you train for the same amount and keep in the field? Instead of a mammoth projector unit sitting around most of the time, send hordes of spies into Greece and swarm the cities. Some of the spies will get in, some will be killed. When you get there, there is a good chance that the gates are open - all of them. The spies can then be reassigned for scouting, etc.
