I was hoping someone would sticky an index of these. I love how in depth they are

[markwars]

Good call Firemaster. Can I encourage you to edit in an umlaute in Dünd's name...

'Tis done. How do you get those kind of characters in anyways?

[Agatagary]

Thank you, Firemaster. I think that this index would also be a good place to keep the queue of suggested articles, and to take suggestions for future ones. I know that Fezzikthedoor is enthusiastic about doing all of the units in this way, but I personally would prefer to focus on just the units that are underused. A suggestions list would help to get an idea of which units the community thinks need more focus on.

That is... a bit much, markwars. Furthermore, I disagree with many of these. Out of those, here are the ones that I think might be good to focus on:

Khosumet
Sacred Band
Valguard
Gladiators (Spartacus, Crixus, Retiarius)
Einar Imperium

The rest of them are pretty self-evident, especially the terrain specific ones (Dzu-teh, Obsidian Guards, and, to a lesser degree, Dumutef Guards). If you see any reason to think otherwise, please state it.

[markwars]

Ouch.

Sorry if it is a "bit much", but based on your statement above I thought...

A) You wanted to get a list together of underused units.

and

B) You wanted suggestions from the community.


So I suggested a list of units that I know for a fact are rarely used in the DFW gamedays or tournaments. If my suggestions were too many and too "self-evident" I apologize. I thought we were brainstorming here.

I'm sorry, markwars. I misunderstood the purpose of your post. I am sure that many of these would be great as future articles, but there is only so much that I process. I hope that you will accept my apology if I have offended you by seeming to dismiss some of these, as this was not my intent.

[markwars]

No worries. As I said, I was just trying to help with a list of underused units.

[sachsen]

You know who NEVER get drafted in our games? Thorgrim and Finn. I'm sure they have their uses but we just never draft them. Eldgrim is different because he only costs 30 points so he's a great filler.

[Agatagary]

How is this for a solution: I will keep the ten next units in the queue in a numbered list, and the rest, in no particular order, will be added to a pool below for future inclusion. I think that that might help to deal with the overwhelming list of units.
