Shamblers

[Renojustin]

30 gold, 1 resource.

Yet they cannot even defeat an equal amount of tritons. About 75% of the time they're thrown back with near total losses. Abominable.

They have 6 protection, 9 defense, 10 attack. Having 22 hps and 15 strength doesn't really mean anything when they die in droves and can't hit anything.

I hate Shamblers. They're like the cavemen of the deeps. Never, ever spending gold on them again.

When I use them I always mix them with smaller units in the same squad. They are also pretty good as flankers.

[Renojustin]

They're not good at anything, just face it! Mix them why? So you have a big fat target in the square so enemies won't attack your 10 gold infantry instead? Gah.

They're 11 movement, how is that good flanking? Well, at least they get to face cavalry out there that will kill them in one shot with a lance with their pathetic defense and protection, and never be able to hit at 14+ defense. Good riddance!

Oh... I mean, they're actually awesome! You should definitely sink some gold into them and use them against me.

Shamblers are almost always a poor investment... unless they are the only amphibious troops you can recruit. If that is the case, and you need to take a water province, you recruit them en masse. As many as you can command. Very expensive, but en masse, they will take out most water indies. It helps if you can send a priest with them to keep up their morale.

[Dedas]

Maybe I lied a little but they are pretty good as flankers underwater when you don't have anything better.

[Renojustin]

Ling, that's the ticket right there. But it's pretty darn sad when you wish you could recruit net-throwing Ichtyids instead for 10 gold and 3 resources. I mean, this is a 30! gold unit we're talking about.
