What is the worst recruitment center you have seen? The worst I have seen is:
Name                           Type            Training     Equipment
Armored Woodsmen    Mixed Infantry     25           20 / 70

I don't quite remember the name but I vaguely remember the stats.
Inf 30 15/25

Indirik

That's a good TO unit. Or someone dedicated to regional maintenance, like police and civil work. 100 of them puppies are dirt cheap, and very effective.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Aye, for things where swarm tactics are best (TOs, police, civil) the cheapest and crappiest units are among the best.

and for using them as meatshields... they can soak up a lot of damage if you have enough of them.

Wetham had a 20/20/20 RC years ago.

Well...the low training means they might turn and run.

Velax

I thought that was more based on cohesion and leadership.

I prefer something like 50 training 10/90 ratings for meatshields.
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

Hah! wish someone had that kind of unit.

Crap, what was that crap RC in Lantzas...The Drunken border conscripts or something...That was the worst I've ever seen.  I didn't realize you could have stats as low as 5.  I want to say it was 5 15/10.

Generally, I think the middle range are the worst units. They're too expensive for TO's, and too weak to do anything in a real battle ...

Or cavalry with low armor, they tend to smash into the enemy with great losses, and it sucks even more if their charge somehow fails. It also sucks to have an archer unit with twice the CS of your neighbour getting only half as many hits...

Name   Type   Training   Equipment
Yermon's Steadfast   Archers   20   25 / 20

Range 2. Their only use so far has been to serve as "Yermon Daimonfeed" during the siege of Unger. :)

LilWolf

Darka has this gem :)

Azzal Citizen Militia   Infantry   10   25 / 25

Hey that was my RC! I won a bunch of battles against monsters with them. Their armor made them last long enough for the monsters to flee, and I could recruit a lot them. Haha I'm not really mad, they aren't that great which is why I worked for another MI in Terran.
