I'm not that familiar with special units, so I have some questions about a few
Questions :
Landship/Tank : Is it worth the money and research? How much damage and health? What are the strengths and weaknesses?
Highlander : It's my first time playing a conquest as GB. Is this worth putting a general on?
Tsar Cannon : Worth the time, money, and research?
Krupp Cannon : What in the world is this?
Dominion Militia : Valuable in campaigns in my opinion. What about conquest?
Old Guard : Worth it or should I stick with grenadiers?
Redshirt : What is it and is it good?
Gatlin Gun : Should I use it or just stick with normal Assault Infantry?
Mamluk Cav : Is it good or should I stick with normal Cav?
Cossack : Same question as Mamluk

Redshirt : What is it and is it good? Gatlin Gun : Should I use it or just stick with normal Assault Infantry? Mamluk Cav : Is it good or should I stick with normal Cav? Cossack : Same question as Mamluk 1. Most special units are not worth until you get both population upgrades. 2. Tank is not that much better than armored car and it is difficukt to get and expansive. To be used only on generals Highlander is alright. It is an upgraded version of line infantry with extra cav defense. If you don't have to take cities, it can be as valuable as Elite Light Infantry. Otherwise, put the generals on Grenadiers Tsar Cannon is very good. It is a Field Artillery with somewhat weaker defense but cheaper that you can easily build. However, don't overdoit. Krupp is the best artillery unit. Really it is overkill. Not that great, but use it if available. Domination Militia takes only 3 pop. Really good, especially with some infantry generals with aura boosting effects. They are very good to save money. However, don't bother using generals on them. Old Guard is very similar to grenadiers, but it is much harder to kill. Good unit, more useful than horse grenadier guard imo. Redskirt are uograded ELI. Nice unit, and very good one for a general. Gatling Gun doesn-t look like that big of an upgrade to me. Stick to the regular one. Mamluk is.. tough to say. On one hand, they are units with great survivability. However, they have low attack, and Blitzkrieg is the way to go. If you find yourself without money, use them, otherwise stick to Lancers. Cossacks are slighly upgraded HC. Pretty good, but not something remarkable. |

Prespawned Tanks, Maxim Guns, Redshirts, Tsar Cannons, Krupp Cannons, Horse Grenadier Guards and Old Guards are the only ones worth putting a general on. Horse Grenadier Guards with a general on it is really just a mobile tank. There is currently no pre spawned Maxim gun in the game (probably in some update that adds the Civil War) and I haven’t gotten my hands on one yet.
Example: Regular-buffed
Militia-Dominion Militia
Line Infantry-Patriotic Army
Riflemen-Highlanders
Grenadiers-Old Guard
ELI-Redshirts
Assault Infantry-Maxim Gunner
Light Cavalry-Deaths Head Hussar/Hungarian Hussar
Lancer-Mamluk Cavalry
Heavy Cavalry-Cossack/Mamluk Cavalry
Musket Cavalry-Horse Grenadier Guard
Armoured Car-Tank
Siege Artillery- Tsar Cannon
Field Artillery- Krupp Cannon
Corvette- Privateer

Which nation can build tanks? Britain,only when you upgrade to catapiller,the last one,by that time doubt you will want one. There are missions or challenges where you get to use it however,lots of fun😊 |

Grenadiers are by far the most useful regular units in the game, and the Old Guard are grenadiers on steroids.
If you have a Karl+Massena SWAT team, always have them on the Old Guard every time playing as France.
The other unique units look little bit shady to me with their expensive population upgrades, except Dominion Militia who are just a nice substitute to Riflemen.

Wow they look beastly but crazy overpriced as you guys are saying. Tech research seems way overpriced at higher levels...it seems the ROI is way too long for most scenarios/conquests.

For cavalry normal Heavy Cavalry seem great for cav generals. Cossacks look strong if you have both pop upgrades and you face a lot of enemies...you can lots of free or almost free damage with their 2 square area attack. |

You get these special units sometimes in campaign or challenges.
In conquest you will have to be very dedicated to get them and spend alot on upgrades.
Heavy Cavalry siege cannon and grenadiers,is the way to go imo.

Would you save up to upgrade for old guard to put Massena on??? For example, in France 1806 you only get 1 old guard unit so would you place Karl (or presumably the better infantry general) on that old guard unit and then research tech to get one for Massena? Or do you just put Karl on old guard and Massena on grenadier? |

Don't forget the Death Hussars who have a better special ability IMO cuz they can attack units behind them... I don't see anyone else mentioning the Death Hussars??? Why is that? Are they just a bad unit or what? |

Or do you just put Karl on old guard and Massena on grenadier? Old Guard have better defence and HP, and Grenadiers have better attack. It is totally fine to put one gen on OG and other on G. Unlock the OG later in the conquest when you have big income and can safely buy enough militia to hold your besieged cities and have enough money for upgrade. The basic Old Guard is ~equal to a Grenadier with a free guy Clinton. So you can put weaker inf gens on them and they will help your Karl/Massena. |
