Finchie:

I've only had TWC for two days

I knew they had around the same stats as dopps, but I didn't know about the insane damage cap, thanks for the info.

Yes they have same hp,difference is that skull require only 3 cards to get 690 hp,of course if you use full wardance  they do near 220 damage.

Anyway skull are not easy to be trained and are slow(that's why they worth more than 2 pop space),i usually dont use them and prefere to train jags(who after patch will have insane damage against heavy infantry). 

the dopplers are good

but have u seen skull knights with the splash shipment

they have more hp and more attack and more splash and more speed than dopplers

also the ottoman spahis have got to be the strongest thing i have ever seen however u can only get them from shipments

yes I have TAD, and I only play online game. I'm not talking about ronin mercenary, I refer those ronin samuri built by export points.  30 of them stand together can crush all melee land/calvery units from all nations combined

 the only way you can put those things down is to with guns and cannons, melee contact is total suicide

Maybe you should buy twc expansion too,jaguar prowl adn skull kill even hatamoto in pop,of course after patch jags wìll do even better qith boosted bonus,anyway they're too weak against ranged units.

Prolly best units since it has not many strong counters is urumi.

Urumi kills every infantry,doesnt suck against euro and native cavalry.

lol! dopplesoldner? if you are talking about supreme melee unit, then ronin samurai, no question to ask.

20 Ronin Samurai can easily massacre 50 dopp like worms. and 40 pike men?  10 Ronin samurai will slaughter 100 pikemen within 20 secs without any causality. and anti calvery? at peak upgrade, ronin samurai has attack power of 143 with x3 anti Calvary bonus + x2 area damage (same as dopp except 2.5 times HP and attack power)  whatever melee cavleries you have or how massive the number will all fall like rag dolls in front of ronin samurai

so yeah, the best melee unit, ronin samurai wins the crown without competition. 

No 20 ronins would not be able to kill 50 doppelsonders. 35 maybe, but any more and the doppels would pwn.

I think the best unit is the Great ard, because it can kill any unit in one shot when fully upgraded.

wrong, it cannot kill any unit. it cannot kill an imperial gendarme, nor an explorer upgraded with cards from hc.
