Special units

[:1]I'd really like to see some more special units in KnC compared to supcom, supcom units were quite boring and all the same.
For example:
A unit that acts similar to the reaper in Starcraft, but maybe instead of jet packs it could have the ability to scale cliffs and walls. Would be awesome for raids and other covert ops.
Archers for one faction that has the ability to stealth or cloak while in forests.
A special expensive archer that has the ability to toggle between bow and knifes.
Also I am sure hero units/princes and kings (whatever they will be called) will bring a great spice to the game, since they will have the ability to gain many experience levels and extra powers.|||I would love big faction diversity in KnC, and I think that it will be there. But as we've seen in SupCom2, the more diverse the factions, the harder it is to balance. I'm hoping that if there is a public beta then it will help a lot in balancing special units.
AoE2 had unique units for each team, and they worked very well and were (in my opinion) balanced, they weren't that unique though, not like what your asking for with special abilities etc.
I think the legendary units will be very diverse (obviously), but I would like to see some special passive abilities on units also, I say passive because i don't want the game to turn into a click fest either....|||true, I would like to see a real differance between factions. for one I would prefer if there is only one human faction and the other two are something else entirely. also, the kind of weapons they use should be differant. you could have one entirely organic faction that uses poisenes spit and stuff as ranged weapons, and further only uses melee.
another example, one factions units could move faster then the other two, but do less damage or have less armor as a result. and it would be even better if every monarch could have such major impacts on units to make the factions even more diverse.|||Dodanodo|||wow, your right, that does sound allot like Starcraft. not my intention.|||Postrate and repent NAW!!.
