Does anyone know how the Rogues work for the Easter Egg quest and if they are worth it? Thanks every-one
The Rogue is a unique unit with 100 Attack, 1 Defense, 14 Movementand a special ability: ignores the first damage and instead transforms into another unit from your army. However, keep in mind that this does NOT work if you have only rogues, this has to be a 'normal' unit that the rogue will transform to. If your enemy kills off your other units first, then your rogues will die at the first hit they take.
There's a lot of "chance" involved here. If you have a mix of different units in the army, the rogue could take up the form of any of them, so you could be delivering a long or short range unit next to the enemy... Not so good. But then, you could get the unit that you just need and save you even from the hardest battles.
This is what I posted in my guild forum. Thought it might help.
Rogues you ask???
Up Side:
1. They ignore the first damage they recieve as long as there are other units in your army that are still alive.
2. Awesome attack power. Most pre-HMA units can't survive a hit from them.
3. Once you unlock them in the hideout they are free to build.
4. If your Rogue morphs during battle and survives to the end, he morphs back into a Rogue in your army select screen.
Down Side:
1. You only get two free slots in the hideout. The next two cost eggs or diamonds to unlock (30 and 60 respectively). The last one requires Diamonds only (100).
2. Once they are hit they morph into something else in your army and you can't control what that is (unless you only have one other kind of unit in that battle).
3. They aren't as mobile as I'd like. You have to either send some horsemen in front to occupy the enemy or you have to hold everyone back until the enemy is in range for the movement/attack.
4. It takes 24 hours to train 1 rogue. Loose one and you're waiting until tomorrow to get him back.
5. If the Rogue is the last unit in your army, one hit and he's dead.
Bottom Line? I personally think they're worth it. They are a fun unit to play with. The only time I'm annoyed is when I have them on the front lines and they morph into a siege weapon... Can you say Rogue Suicide?
Click the inventory button (bottom left corner). You should be able to build the rogue hideout from there.I used the eggs to buy a rogue hideout but now I can't figure out how to build it. I am obviously missing something simple. Anyone willing to help me out?
I wasn't all that thrilled when I landed four Rogue Hideouts during the Summer Event, (3 in one world and 1 in my other), then after seeing them in action I was extremely happy with the results of my spins.Does the Rogue hideout cost population?
One up side is they age with you. If you have Swordsmen they become Swordsmen, you replace Swordsmen with Rangers, now the rogues become rangers. So you never have to replace a Rogue Hideout, it will always morph to what ever you are using. But I would not recommend using them with Ranged units, else you will end up with Range unit on the front line.
4 Rangers, 2 Gendniers and 2 Rogues seems like a good attack setup, especially if you have Military bonus GBs. If the Rogue can get off the first attack of 100(plus any mods) then ignores the first attack and then becomes say a Ranger, that doesnt sound too bad.
Down side is they really dont seem to be a good defensive option, and the long build/heal times.
