Special military buildings, are they worth it?

[DeletedUser114342]

I have a drummer school and a rogue hideout, but I am thinking of getting rid of the drummer school as I don't think they are really useful and it takes up a lot of space. I am in the LMA and don't know if I will regret this later on, so I'd like some advice please on the special military buildings that are worth to keep and ones that are not.

With the rogue hideout, I am happy with one, but find that rogues can be too easily defeated if there are no other normal units for them to turn into. Today I got attacked and plundered, my defending army had three rogues out of 8, so my attacker went after every other unit first which made my rogues redundant. So I retaliated and attacked and plundered back. Funny thing was, his/her defending army had 1 champion and 7 rogues which was easily defeated by killing off the champion first. So, I do find that rogues are not all that powerful in certain situations. I don't know if getting more rogue hideouts will be worth it in the future, especially since you can win some in the DCs.

Rogue Hideout is best when combined with Alcatraz because you have constant daily income of Rogues.
Most popular attack formation is 1 ordinary unit+7 Rogues, which is almost unbeatable.
However, having more than 2 Rogues in defence makes it a lot easier for the attacker.

Huh? I find that combination of 1 ordinary unit + 7 rogues one of the easiest to beat as you just get rid of the ordinary unit first leaving the rogues basically defenseless.

and the hardest to defend against
because the defender AI transforms the rogues first

1+7rogues
as attacker: GREAT. AWESOME.
as defender: terrible

I think I had bad luck as one of the few times the AI beat me was using the 1 ordinary unit + 7 rogues
Taught me NEVER to use that combination when attacking again as it will be just my luck to get a smart AI!

I meant as attacking army, not defending
If you get attacked by 1 ordinary unit + 7 Rogues, place 8 Artillery units in defence to maximise attacker's loss.

Thanks, I realised that after I posted

What are your thoughts about the drummer school? I got rid of an SoK when I first started so don't want to repeat the same mistake with the drummer school.

Drummer as unit is good in low ages, later it becomes useless.
Drummer School comes in hand because it also gives attack boost (as building).

I always use 1 unit + 7 rogues in attack and never use the AI. In defence I do not use rogues

By using AI, attacking defence consisted only of melee units, or consisted of quite few close ranged or artillery units will have 0 loses

Thanks, I am finding them not very useful and the building takes up too much space.
