Did you know the Karate Kid theme was originally written for Rocky? They went with Eye of the Tiger and the Kid inherited The Best (around, no one's ever gonna get you down).

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?

I want to vote for Einar, for my favorites, but at the same time I feel obligated to vote Utgar, as there are simply that many options to choose from.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?

Might as well throw my thoughts out...

Going through the list of common squads looking at a combination of fun and strength (what goes into "best", imo), I'd have to single out these squads:

Death Chasers
Marro Dividers
Marro Stingers
Minions
Phantom Knights
Venocs
Zombies

130-96-0 (4/13/09-1/14/24)
36-16-0 (10/17/09-12/9/23)

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?

For common Squads, I have to go with Jandar.

Not because of ranking or usefulness but mostly because the commons I enjoy using most are the Highlanders, Knights and Drudge (yeah I know).

So Utgar would be a close second.

Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright.

Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?

I think Utgar and Aquilla, both the granite guardians are really good, and Utgar has tons of great common squads, like stingers and deathstalkers. Also, Utgar has some great bonding squads, like nagrubs and all the grut squads.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?

I think Utgar is head and shoulders above the competition here. They have the best screening (And arguably overall) squad in the game by a mile in the Rats, only Glads come close, and they're restricted to Tron builds. They're tied for the best melee bonding squad with Jandar, Heavies and Knights of course. They have a very solid ranged option in Stingers, who are also possibly the second best anit-melee ranged option. And they have the best anti-ranged melee squad in the PKs.
Jandar and Vydar are next, in that order I would say. The 4th and Knights are both best-in-class units, but the drop off in power is pretty steep after that. Maybe Sentinels? Vydar is there thanks to Trons and very little else, but Trons alone is an impressive showing.
Next I would put Einar, predominantly for the 10th, but of course the Romans aren't nothing either, but the fact that MBS isn't Einar I guess should be a strike against them in this context.
Aquilla and Valkrill I would call a tie, Dwarves are obviously great, Spiders and Mohicans are both decent if not spectacular. Valkrill has some fun toys, but nothing that isn't a worse something else imo.
Ullar is definitely bottom of the pile. Loads of really fun squads, Aubriens, Venocs, Greenscales, WoA, but just lacks anything really top tier.

Re: Which Faction has the best common squads?

I'm biased because I'm not a huge fan of Stingers, but I voted Jandar, because you could build a whole army out of just 4th Mass and it would be decent, Knights are the best bonding squad in the game imo, and the best melee squad imo, and Deathreavers aren't really that good as a fighting force, they're just a good wall for other things to shoot over.
Most of my favorite Utgar common squads are the more mediocre, flavorful ones. Heavies are awesome though, but that's basically Heavies vs Knights and Mass, I'll choose the latter every time. Axegrinders are great, I love em in General Wars but Aquilla has nothing else good lol.
