Do you use special units often?

Yep. I use them because:
* They are useful, both in attack and defense.
* They can be a relevant fact of the battle.
* They are good at mantaining positions.
P.S: Sorry my english.

 

I tend to use Patriots more than Generals, but I can use both.

Spies annoy me to hell, but I always end up with a free one when I build the Kremlin, my favourite wonder.

 

for general, ill always have one wen im defending, entrenching and having your light infantry on stand fire is very useful. and for attacking, ill have 2 generals, one to hide and the other to create decoys to go in tanother section of there territories.

and for spies, ill use them for defense. If i ahve no army wat so ever, ill make cheap easy spies and bribe there whole army with about 4 clicks. and if i do have an army, then ill bribe there artillery and supply wagons.

for scouts etc, i dont use them much, ill use them a little to counter enemy informers and ill use them to destroy a wonder, but thats pretty much it.

 

I only use Spec Ops, but I rarely use them, stealth/stealing/assassinating are a bit over rated to me, I like the old fashioned ways of war, where you'd meet your enemy on the battlefield and the victor gets the right to march on his enemy's capital(or city).

 

Not really..

 

I cannot click fast so I use neither

 

I rarely use them, but then again, I don't play RoN that much.

 

Explains a lot, doesn't it?

But I still feel like my armies are completed with a general and supply wagons. Makes it feels like a real army.
Little do I know that the generals don't work if I don't do anything.

 

Spies and generals and all their special abilities add a level to the game that most people would not use to its full effectiveness outside of custom scenarios. A lot of these games have a tendency to offer more options than the average user will ever touch upon, and it's a darn shame.

 

I always send generals along with my army, but I say that using commandos for sniping and sabotage is always wicked, especially when they're cloaked

 

I use Patriots mainly but generals also. Both are quite useful. Scouts I use in the beginning of the game and never build them again later.

As for spies I find them useless.

 

Hi, I am a new member of forum. Would a newcomer be warmly welcome here? Good day you guys!!!

 

i typically just use spies to get line of sight on the enemy cities, scouts to explore, and generals to back up the infantry line.

 

scouts on auto...
generals to entrench my forces...
the spy for nothing.

 

Special Ops, General and Millitary Patriot (depost and monarch) rule.

but spies are annoying, because of this i modded the bribery ability off (and increased sniper ability range and made it able to kill peace units)
