This is why I think RoR are unpopular- they are none of those things. You need to be careful with them, just like you would with new characters in the early game, where wrong moves can easily means they die and you have to start over again.

Think of it this way: if a special unit can be recruited like RoR- instantly and on the move- but you can't use them like any regular unit because of their design, and they start with zero experience, they are special, but not powerful. On the other hand, if RoR units are just super steroid versions of regular units (as they are in Game1), then they're not valuable at all.

If RoR units or whatever Game2 equivalent CA has in store for us were special in that they operated very differently from regular units, then they're very valuable.
