Hello red alert 3, I didn't see you standing back there, tell me are blade wielding ninjas from the east also going to make a apperance?

The concept of bears that can fire laser beams is a concept that pre-dates RA3. I also wonder why blade wielding ninjas are so unusual. Oh sure they have a variety of useable killing impliments at thier disposal but a nice blade has a definate edge about it. Also factoring in that Ninjas originated from the east there coming from there would not be exactly suprising.

If it where included in the game I'd sudgest Kangaroo cavalry. Though i have to say Beavers as sappers is a great idea if they where backed up by the Moles :P

If only Australia were in the game. :P

As for the ninja, historically the guy dressed in black with the katana and shuriken was actually the distraction. While he was running around the castle throwing smoke bombs and generally being a nuisance the real assasin would finish of the target nice and quietly.

Usually the actual assasin got in a few weeks before posing as a cook, or a gardener, or a carpenter.

Fancy blades and things were rarely carried by ninja, Japan is a metal poor country so decent weapons werent affordable enough to give to expendable peons.

As for the moles as a backup to beavers? Excellent. Whilst the beavers chew through the gates the moles can be undermining foundations and placing explosives under key structural points.

*Sigh* All this talk of sappers is making me wish they would actually appear in game, which, alas, is unlikely.
