My vote is monk from age of empires 2. These dudes can walk up and stare at your friend chanting for a bit, then suddenly they turn around and attack you. That’s horrifying.

Basic builder units. You commit genocide against an entire civilization but leave one of these fuckers alive and 20 minutes later you’re facing en entire army.

I’d prefer a commander from Supreme Commander. It can raise an entire military by itself, and it’s much hardier than basic builders. It’s deadly up close. Even if you somehow defeat it, your reward is a nuclear explosion.

I remember the matches where you transport drop you commander into the enemy base, so both your and their commander blow up inside their base. The hardest part was getting the game rules past the eyes of your friends while setting up the game.

In Total annihilation you could pick up the enemy commander. So you’d pick up one enemy commander and fly him over to another commander and hit ctl K.

Something in 40k universe probably. Tyranid or demon units would probably be my top choice for worst. Necrons are literal terminators too.

It depends. AoE2 Organ Guns, in a group of at least 10, will obliterate basically everything in their path, but alone theyre not too menacing to anything other than vils.

Any Scrin unit from C&C Tiberium Wars, because that faction was overpowered.

Krogoth - Total Annihilation Core Contingency

It has extremely durable armor, capable of withstanding seven nuclear missiles. Its main weapons are the Gauss cannons mounted on either arm, its secondary weapon is an Annihilator-type laser mounted on its head and its third weapons are two Starburst rocket launchers mounted on its back that are used as effective anti-air weapons. A single Krogoth can destroy a sizable ARM base if it isn’t well defended.

An absolute beast of an RTS unit.

TA is just a gem. I like how the base game is pretty moderate unit-wise. And then they just said “fuck it” and added whatever cool shot they (probably always) wanted.

And the soundtrack kicks ass, “March unto death” being my favorite.

I always felt like the arm got the short end in the expansion. they just never got anything to parallel the krogoth.

their static artillery being shorter range also always hurt them in my vs cpu games. though the vulcan was pretty awesome of you could somehow generate enough energy to sustain its RoF.
