My favorite unit...

[Atreidi]

What unit is your favorite to mass produce?

In late game I like mass producing Tarrasquense, then giving them Gift of Reason.

In second place is the wraight lord. Equip him good, empower a little and he is one immortal killing machine.

At the moment it's Zamzummites. The best non-cap-only battlemages I have ever seen. (Well, Druids might be on the same level, and Ktonian Necromancers are quite close.)

Androphag Archers.

Illithids! <3

Ghandarvassssssss!

And a particular often overlooked summon which shall remain nameless, that I find to be wickedly powerful in longer games.....

Bakemono Sorcerer is a splendid mage

[MaxWilson]

I've been tempted by Bakemonos in the past--they look about as good as Ktonian Necromancers. No Astral for communions but acid rain potential. I think they have worse Precision than Zamzummites, though. Anyway, I should try them out sometime.

Lobo Guard !

EA / LA Mictlan Priests are my absolute favorite unit in the game.

Ktonians are cap-only. Bakemono Sorcerers are not though, and they are totally *****en; with the right spells, they can be out-of-the-box thugs. If there was a way to remove their old-age, they'd be top-notch.

EDIT: I just noticed, someone else already noted this, in response to the same post none-the-less. that's what I get for posting before reading the entire thread.

We are discussing favorite, and not best? Then for favorite, Sacred Hydras. They are like lawnmowers.

These guys are hands-down the scariest recruitable unit. en masse, they can be a match for SCs. A single legion (about 20) of them can massacre armies of hundreds, even big powerful blessed armies of hundreds. The only way I've found to kill something like that is by exploiting the auto-rout or killing their leaders. Make sure they have no where to run to either (auto-kill), because any victory will by Pyrrhic, and you don't want to fite that again. At least that's been my experience with them.

They single-handedly make any nation who has access to them a powerhouse.

Although they are cap only and have their limitations, the the Warriors of the Five Elements are my favorite.
