    Default The Most annoying units?

    I didn't see anything like this in previous pages so I decided to open the discussions.

    So what do you think? I personally hate Variag archers because Rhun spams them and only thing (with Dale) that can counter them is light cavarly charge.

    I also get annoyed (when playing as dwarves) with OOTM spam unit: Snaga skirmishers. Dwarves can't catch them, they have (IMO oddly) good morale and AP.

    I believe that Balrog is very annoying, very hard to kill, etc...but, hey, it was meant to be that way!
    About the morale thingy of the Orc Kind, in general...I found it strange too, but with RR/RC it is changed, and Orc rabble units are what they are supposed to be...rabble...

    Balrog wasn't that annoying for me. My elven infantry slaughtered them
    Oh, maybe I should try that. I hate when some slaves fight against my eldar/noble dwarves and 4/5 is killed but they just keep fighting

    Aye, horde factions are very well represented in rc/rr.

    Anyway there are only two things that I can think of that annoy me. As either elven faction anything that can somehow manage to reach my lines before dieing from archer fire is annoying, because then I actually need to move a unit to counter it rather than starring blankly at the screen. And as the dwarves snagas skirmishers, annoying is an understatement for this instance.

    Clearly has his priorities straight.

    @ OP: Annoying or challenging?

    Annoying = NONE... but challenging, yes there are some, and thanks TATW for that! any kind of units can be defeated, neutralized or blocked. It's IMO a well balanced mod now.

    I have only encountered Mumakil from two perspectives, the first being Harad and the second being the High Elves. I found them to be highly annoying in both situations. As Harad I found them too unwieldy and cumbersome to make any proper use of them. When I'd try to charge through enemy infantry bushes would get in the way and the Mumukil would never make it to their targets.

    From the defensive perspective I was annoyed both by their seeming immunity to everything except siege engines, and their incredible weakness to siege engines. You can pelt them with all the fire arrows from a full stack army of Eldar Archers and get no where, but bring one catapult and you can rest assured that they are no threat. This always seemed a little ridiculous to me.

    Snagas I think. Especially when they get behind your Ents. :-)

    Snaga skirmishers, no doubt.
    It's only after you have lost everything, that you are free to do anything.

    Any elven archer unit, but that makes it even more satisfying to slaughter them with my goblins

    Catapults. So frigging annoying that after a seige battle they just stand there waiting. And so you always gota sally forth and kill them to end the game.

    Siege engines ... they can kill your general with a single "lucky" shot ... only luck and your prayers to your god can help you when your general is in range ...
