What's the coolest TBS & RTS unit ever?

[Az]

Yeah, fill it with engineers and you own the base! But it only works against newbies.

Not if you take the sensor array out first with a massive airstrike, and send a cyborg commando together with the engineers.

Have you ever heard starcraft stutter?

My enemies have.

Geishas in Shogun Total War. Death in attractive packages

[loinburger]

Mighty Gorgons in HOMM III. Get a large enough stack of them, and their Death Stare will take out anything. Nothing's more satisfying than taking out your opponent's stack of 5 Azure Dragons (with a combined total of 5000 HP) with your relatively miniscule stack of Mighty Gorgons.

Vampire Lords in HOMM III. Their power just keeps growing as their stack gets larger -- a single ArchAngel can take out ten Vampire Lords, but a hundred Vampire Lords will make mincemeat of ten ArchAngels.

Phoenixes in HOMM III. Not only are they the fastest unit in the game, but they're also immune to fire. Get a hero with a high enough Spell Power, fill your army with Phoenixes (plus a few Magic Elementals and Energy Elementals, just in case your enemy has some Black Dragons or something), and Armageddon the hell out of everybody. Wutang!

The multi-beam frigate in Homeworld. Four ion cannons is just the business.

You know it's not a girls game when the female commando soldier runs around in the snow dressed in linguere.

Tanya's job is to be an expert on blowing things, does that make her a blowjob expert?

The Ancient Behemoth. This creature is 40% cheaper in gold than the ArchAngels, yet it can kill them.

The Best cost-efficient unit in HoMMIII (maybe phoenix has better cost-efficient than Ancient Behemoth, but then who will let you play the overpowered conflux anyway?).

Again, with cool I didn't mean "cost effective" or something like that, I meant "fun".

Singularity Planet Buster's are pretty cool. 25 spaces just obliterated!

[vee4473]

gotta agree, for pure fun in the TBS genre, planet busters are it.

i mean, you turn part of a continent into a puddle! what compares to that?

still thinking about an rts unit.....

A planet crusher. A stellar convertor in MoO 2 reduces a planet to asteroids.

Okay, then I'm just agreeing with you
... and I don't have a page 2 yet, I set my display to show 50 posts per page. It's much nicer.

Total Annihilation:
I'm going to have to say Fido. It's the only unit the AI knows how to use against me.

Warlords Battlecry II:
This one's a toughie because the really powerful stuff like the Forestmaster looks a bit odd. I think that I'll go with the Hellbore on this one:

Howitzer rush!!!
