Unit Strategy Review

[Cleon]

Now that there are more soldiers he's one of the best figures to pump up figures besides the romans (that (romans) he's mainly suppose to work with) like 4th mass., greeks, etc. Also, His 6 life helps him survive and be a good pumping figure to last long.

Absolute favorite Hero so far. Perhaps, when they release the Vampires or someday Pirates, this will change, but Marcus just rocks. He boosts my favorite army, has great staying power, and was my first CONGS character, along with the subject of my first Heroscape Fanfic. Love 'im.

I am Marcus Decimus Gallus, leader of the IXth Roman Legion, defender of the great and just city of Rome!

[GForce3062]

I've only used Marcus once(because I don't have the Romans and I feel it's kind of a waste to use him without the Romans) but when I did use him, I was playing PoF and his last wave was 3 squads of zombies, while I had Marcus and 1 squad of Roman Lego's. Long story short, he was my last figure (but died) and every turn he would kill a zombie(he ended up killing probably 10 zombies, since they have the 'Rise Again' ability) I want to use this guy more now since he seems to be a great figure.

[Matthias Maccabeus]

If they ever make a figure with a power similar to Parmenio's disciplined influence, except for Valiant influence. Marcus and the 4th Mass together would be bringing down the house.

Captain America gets boosted by this guy....worth mentioning in the synergies.

I like Marcus! His sculpt is awesome! Last night I used him to boost me E.I. for attack and movement while the Empress helped them out on Def.
I was holding a spot in a scenario we were playing.

Agreed about the sculpt, and that seems like a great team for the task. How did it work out?

Very well, my opponent had Vydar units... The only 2 I was worried about were Carr and Murphy... He held them back and tried to use agents to thin out the line. I had one squad of E.I. with the holding group and the other out attacking the agents. When it was Murphy and Carr left, they were easily mopped up by Kiova and her Imperium.

[GForce3062]

Now that I finally got some Romans( :P ) I love this guy!!!! He has a complete beast and has great staying power. He is the reason I was able to kill a Charos with my Legos.(Four attacks of four on five defense was deadly) And that +1 move to ALL soldiers is great! Overall, I give this guy a......

Again you nailed Marcus pretty well, GForce.
