Are you having fun with rare units?

Not sure... there fun I give you that... but with some units its a huge game changer. I say lets feel them out a few more days before I make my vote... at first I was like they just destroyed a great game... but it might have just made things more fun Great work on the game you all are working on and love it... just love it

Just one thing I dont like, i got 13 heavy tanks in one town, 10 lights in other etc

I didnt need to spend any money to win. Just went to his cap attacked, end. :s

I like them, but maybe in smaller numbers?

They add a bit of chance, so it's cool and fun.

I just have to check if we can put them to zero in game option, for "serious" simulation game purpose.

Already poissible.

My only problem is the nukes, which you already addressed, but I love the ninjas! Now I can make air AND land kamikazes! BANZAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've played 6 games and have not encountered a single one.
LOL

Pretty nice units. Really help me with subjugating everything and everyone.

They're definitely fun but I think it's kind of funny that the last update was to make the game more about strategy and less about luck and then all of a sudden there is the rare chance you can get a nuke on your first turn.

Can we have a naval rare unit? Like Pirates(you have Ninjas sooo) that are found in applicable ports? nice attack, low defense great range? Just an idea, as I've yet to see or hear of any naval rares.

...How about a rare unit called the king of cows....THAT would be badass

How come i stopped getting rares in high chance?

Sadly a cow unit would be even slower than AA

What about for pirates african/ somali pirates? I find the new units allot of fun with allot of scope to add more. But maybe they should be saved for the cards. It CAN be annoying just how random it is if you get these extra units.

You can set rare units to high probability, low probability, etc...I like these random units, they add a bit of luck, but not so much luck as to wreck the game for the opponent (unless of course he's using marines and you get a spy satellite XD)

Yes, they are very cool.

We're planning to add special rare units for as many countries as possible. So yes, Somalia will get their pirates

French Foreign Legion? Nepalese Gurkha? Spetnaz? South Afrikan Vuvuzela Horde?

Spartans in Athens, what has the world become to.

I'm quite enjoying the rare units. I was afraid they'd break the game but thats not the case. Really good job you guys put on there. That's all I wanted to post, no odd unit ideas.

I love this idea

I don't really like the rare units. I mean, of course they are fun and its interesting to see units randomly pop up in a city you just conquered. I just can't help but note home illegitimate they are. I find myself turning them off for any serious game I want to play. Unique units is undoubtably an ingenious idea. But the random factor seems to remove the purpose.
I propose that, instead of random units, buildable units that are unique to certain areas and or countries. For example, you can BUY ninja's in Japan as part of Japan's base units. You can BUY pirate in Somalia and other countries on the horn of Africa. This would make the unique unit idea so much better.
An alternative to this is to simply use the upcoming card system to bring these unique units into the game rather than having them randomly appear.

Kinda brings the fun outta searchin for em though...

Personaly i would like to see that Crazy Mad Rabbit with Rabies found in mote pthons Holy Grail movie. And a tim lol

Maybe the randomness should be the opportunity to buy said units instead of them being given to you?
