Ok this time I'm just sort of wondering why people say gurkha's suck? IMO i think they're good. They may not be better than regular skirms but they do the job. I dunno the 2 stats but if someone does can they show them to me? I really like gurkhas, so why do ppl say they suck? Someone care to explain? I've probably heard they suck about 3 or 4 times. What are your opinions on them? I know for a fact that they don't suck as much as those rajputs.

Schildpad is correct. It's not their base stats, it's their rather feeble selection of upgrades. Even now, a Gurkha has access to the following upgrades:
Green Jackets has gone some way to fix that issue, but they still are pretty light in available upgrades compared to French or Dutch skirmishers.

Sioux have a few wakina upgrades. One from plantation, one in industrial. Not sure bout imp. One from the merc card shipments also. more hp i think. A few but they're not meant to be a big role for sioux. Mainly if the enemy makes musks or halbs.

Sioux have the 1000g fortress card, Two Kettle Support, that gives a bunch of Wakina and raises their hitpoints.

Gurkhas look kooler. Infact, India has the best looking units imo. Elephants, Camels, Sepoy sabers :O!!!!!!

You're not wrong. India has some great looking units. I just wish they had given Sowars swords instead of spears, they'd look much cooler.
