What's the coolest TBS & RTS unit ever?

[NeOmega]

TBS - Warrax from Master of Magic.... lightning throwing chaos warrior

RTS- Krogoth was cool, but I liked the buzzsaw, nothing like a plasma cannon that'll cut lines of destruction straight through your enemies well clumped up base.

The heavy tank is more cost-effective than the medium tank. So are late-game zerglings.

Heavy - 950
Med - 800

For mere 150 bucks difference. You get extra turret, teeney tiny more firepower, tince wincey more armor and bit slower speed.

Would be a better deal overall if it hadnt been for the build time. (Med tank is significantly faster).

Soviet still rules in that game anyway.


------
Zergling lacks air defense and has far worse AI than hydralisks. (Just about any melee unit in Starcraft has screwed up AI and isnt efficient compared to range)

[Gangerolf]

the maya archer from age of empires

[Gangerolf]

the mountain giant in age of mythology is cool too.
he looks alot like the janitor from my old highschool

[Chemical Ollie]

Ooh, how could I forget the slaver from Call to Power? To bad you can't distribute the slaves evenly over your cities. I just installed the old CTP on my new computer. I haven't played it in 3 years, but I felt the itch coming back after 18 months of CIV3.

Hah, you're mine!!!

Kilgroth- I think it was Kilgore.. .can't remember for certain- but Total Annihilation certainly was a really good RTS game with a great persistent online world- I loved fighting in the Boneyard for planets!

It´s Krogoth Like NeOmega said.
The best unit for me: CORE/ARM Commander

[Sarxis]

Best Unit by category:

Classic RTS- Siege Tank (Starcraft)
Classic TBS- Doomstars from MoO 1&2
Current RTS- ICBM from Rise of Nations >

WTF's going on there, Carlos?!

[Unspeakable Horror]

Hehe, the Krogoth is the big unit in the background, it´s the picture from an special mission included with CORE Contingency, TA expansion pack
I will see if I can find another picture...

[Unspeakable Horror]

Found it!

[Qilue]

I liked these ones kind of equally.

Medieval Total War

Scottish Clansmen - 960 screaming scotsmen looked really cool when charging/chasing a peasant rabble.

HOMM3

War Unicorn because they looked so cute.

Diablo2 (this game becomes an RTS when playing a summoner Necromancer)

Etheral Iron Golem - transparent death.

[DarkCloud]

Mighty Gorgons *might* be a powerful unit But I'll take Zealots in the 'cooler' category any day- with their ranged attack, they can blast anything to dust

And they have great blue hoods...

and beautiful images

well, as far as the first unit in a RTS game that really made me smile and say "cool", it was the commando in the original C&C.

The way he could kill any person with one shot from out of range and plant explosives to demolish many buildings in seconds was , well, cool.

I know he doesn't compare to some of the more recent units, but it was the first unit that made me take "cool" notice...
