Which units or buildings does nobody use, even though they were available?

A unit that few people build may simply be unlocked too late for most players to ever see it. This entry shows how to count only people who had it available for long enough, so you can tell a dead option from a hidden one.

Why this works

Nobody can use what they had no time to afford. Judging a unit only among players who had it for a fair while separates a unit that is truly ignored from one that is simply late, and keeps the unknown cases out of the verdict.

When not to use it

Do not remove a unit just because few build it. A rare unit can be the expensive finisher that people love once a game, or a counter that is needed only against one enemy. Check what it does for those who build it.
