New German fractions Cimbrian Clubman, what are they really ment?

[Frederick_1]

The description of Cimbrian Clubman puts them in the following categories:

            Classes: Builder, Worker, Soldier, Infantry, Melee, Maceman, Champion

As I have tried, they can not gather, and do also not built, even do not help building.
So at least I'd say the first two categories are false. Altough it would be nice in phase one if they can be help in eco.

For a Champion, their health is only 100 like citizen Melee. Their resistance is even worse than spearman, so their only advantage is speed. 
Capture attack of 2.5 is also not on par with champion but with citizen soldiers.

So, is this by design little weird, or is something off?

it is weird. if it weren't a champion,it would be a regular infantry and would be at the left most part of the list in the barracks. However,this would make the unit be mistaken as a good fighter as well (which it isn't. it is a good building destroyer not fighter). this is why it was given the champion classification. @real_tabasco_sauce may confirm

Looks like a very fast p1 unit to rush civic centers. it's same as p2 kushit maceman but weaker
Also looks like a good combo using them along with log rams on p2

When I first tested German Civilization, I trained some of them for eco, cause they are called worker. Then I had no use of them. 

Sure next time this does not happen to me again. Albeit I think they should be usable like mercenaries as builder when not full workers. But it seem not to be necessary to make germans stronger.

We should fix the bug of classication , they are champion

Builder, Worker,

They are not supposed to have these. The were previously able to build like mercenaries, hence the classes, but the champion designation helps clearly separate them from normal CS. I should have also re-created the icon in a red style, but I forgot to do this 

In general, I don't think the class of champion should be so constrained (by cost, attack, armor). So this is an example of a unique champion that isn't so expensive, but has a particular role.
