Enlighten Me.

So this is going to be my 4th consecutive thread in this section. (Can other people please start posting stuff so I don't feel like a babbling loser?) This time, I'd just like to bring up a few units I feel serve no to very little purpose. I may suggest changes for some, but for the most part I would just like to know if anyone else puts these units to use.
- Assassin: 200 hp, and a poisonous melee for 20 damage? I may be missing something here, but this unit feels sadly weak to me. Can anyone tell me how deadly the poison is? Maybe they would be cooler if, I don't know, they appeared as friendly workers to the enemy.
- Tracker Dino: I recently was disappointed to discover this unit has no rhyme or reason to its efforts and died after a short lifespan. I'm just going to suggest that their lifespan gets removed and they "sniff" their way over to find the enemy. Enough said.
- Undead Warrior: They are so slow, you need a transport to carry them to battle. Anything in the game is fast enough to escape them if they are overran. My best suggestion is this: make them effective against buildings. It makes perfect sense to me. If my fellow players have a practical application for this unit, I really want to hear about it.
- Poisoner: I really want to like this unit. They are the Dustrider's specialist, after all. No matter what I try, though, my poisoners always get killed before they can attack, making them one of the most frustrating units in the game. I even have tried using transports to get in close, and that still didn't work. They need a buff, that's all. (Health, armor, or speed.)
- James Warden: Don't get me wrong, Warden is probably my favorite hero. I find him to be super helpful as a savage Dustrider thanks to his Level 5 bonus. (Brachi for 800 food? Hell yes!) I even deal with his useless trackers he unlocks to get that cavalry discount.(Though his NM and DC unlocks are pretty cool.) Here's what I hate about him: his military bonuses are about the same as any other hero, but he is awful in combat. Cole is just a bit short of a T-rex, but Warden is an unlucky rhino at his best. Oh, and his special power? I have never noticed any effect from it. Form what I've seen, it is broken.
