Sardaukar or Swordman

[Cybot]

Swordman cost 100 gold, 3 upkeep. 400HP, 14 Power, 4 armor. -5% dmg received (5x max) to nearby units.

Sardaukar cost 300 gold, 9 upkeep, 600HP, 18 power, 6 armor. executes enemies under 20% HP.

Which is best, I can almost get double the amount of swordmen no?

[hibbidy_jibbidy]

get a few swordman and 1 saudukar that you micr and assasinate units with

[Nibelungen Finest]

Both？

I mean basic Corrino army is like
6 swordsmen/riflemen stack the x5 dmg buff (upgrade from barracks)
Support by flamethrowers (cheap, short range, early armor break unit)
And artillery drones (expensive, long range mid game armor break unit, also as AA batteries)
On top of that you added Sardaukar, to execute low health enemies

Swordsmen riflemen and flamethrowers are kinda cheap so you dont mind that much if you micromanage failed and lose some of them

Sardaukar are best when you have 1-2 of them. There battle trance ability which makes executions easier only increments when they get a killing blow. The more sardaukar you have the more they will compete with each other for the kills.

Lots of micromanagment in this game.

Keep a mix of units, use each of them appropriately, only a few stack when have more of them. Like the Ranger for Atreides.

There are some, like the Fremen infiltrator that are used once then run away. They are a real pain to use but do great dmg that first hit.
