Subutai The Almighty

[Diadem]

Ladies & Gentlemen. May I present to you ... The One .. The Only ...

Subutai The Almighty!

(This is a genuine screenshot. I did not cheat in this game. It's normal warlords, no custom patches or scenario's. I did drop the difficulty level a bit from what I normally play to achieve this. Game speed is epic, with over 250 turns remaining.)

That's an... uhmm... nice unit .

[Nacht]

Good that it has +25% vs. Melee. Imagine it would come across a combat II maceman

[Solver]

Hey, with the random number generator, it would probably lose to a Combat II Maceman after two-three hundred thousand battles .

[Diadem]

Personally I like the "No combat penalty for crossing river" and "-1 terrain movement cost" bonusses a lot more.

Wasn't easy to get them on a helicopter unit

Is the closest we'll get to the Giant Death Robotic Preatorian?

[trev]

Someone has too much spare time, get a real job.

[Adagio]

That gunship can sure kick some ass

[samspock]

Holy schnikes!

[Lord Avalon]

So Subutai hangs off the skid shooting his Peacemaker at foes?

[Diadem]

No he sneakes through the bushes and shoots all his unsuspecting enemies while they are busy looking at that weird green thing in the sky making all that noise.

How many times did you you die and reload while leveling up that unit?

He said he didn't cheat.
I would like to know though if you took chances and was lucky or only picked safe fights, in the last case you had to win 500+ fights and even with an average win percentage of 99.8% you should've on average died once.

Nice one. I love the over powering gunship...but we already knew that.

Not if the unit was made into a Warlord with the leadership promotion upon being built. Assuming it was originally a mounted unit built in a city with only a barracks and a stables for initial XP, it would only have needed to win 283 battles to reach that level. Less if it had more initial XP, it ever shared a tile with other newly created Warlords, or in its early life it was used a little more recklessly (not surprising if it had a high withdraw chance early on).
