Overview[]
The Thief was a cheap Medieval unit in the Alphas, which wields a small knife. The Thief attacks by thrusting their knife/dagger forward, usually hitting the torso. They are very weak and anything with decent range will kill them easily. It's best to use the Thief to overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers, like Peasants. It has a very slow attack speed so after it attacks it is vulnerable; they also die to one hit from a peasant. This makes them fairly unreliable, even for overwhelming the enemy.
Appearance[]
The unit appears as a Wobbler with a dagger or knife.
Usage[]
The Thief is one of the cheapest units in the game, allowing it to be easily spammed. However, it has the shortest range and worst attack speed out of all the 30 cost troops. The Farmer, being also 30, has the longest range and therefore is probably the best cheap unit. They are also extremely susceptible to losing their weapon. It tends to flank and backstab enemies. This attack method makes it even more useless.
Trivia[]
- There is a revamped version of the Thief in the Hidden Units Mod.
