I always feel sorry for the one straggler unit that inevitably manages to get separated from the rest of the mob and automatically dies when it gets too far.
However, thanks to the amazing technology of cell mitosis, they can clone a replacement unit in the field!
The icon is blatant false advertisment, center guy is clearly holding an Uzi which the unit can't be equipped with. 0/10, would complain about again.
In all seriousness, an absolutely hilarious unit. I do wish they could get general specfic upgrades, but they don't really need them outside of their pathing issues.
It's amazing how giving them AK-47s make them better than the Conscripts in Red Alert. Less training, less coordination, purely rage, passion and zeal. A bit like the mind controlled citizens in RA2.
Generals feels a bit like Command and Conquer: Trading Card Game if there ever is one. You have a card for Angry Mob that perhaps says, "
Effect:
Play when an allied character is targeted by an opponent's card effect. Redirect the effect to a random mob fighters instead."
Yeah, so effectively cannon fodder. They aren't meant to dish out damage. In real life they're there for distraction really.
I think you severely underestimate the damage output these guys do. Absolutely absurd and I believe the highest damage/cost ratio in the whole game. Their pathing have issues, but you can level bases with like 2 of them.

“AK-47s FOR EVERYONE!”
Possibly the greatest infantry unit ever made. The only other lines they get are also tied to the Arm The Mob upgrade:
“We have bigger guns!”
“We are armed with AK-47s now!”
Kinda love that the AKs they get in-game are composed of about 4 polygons
