:) Even if the clone has 1000 snipers, they'll only have 1 HP :) Even a single peasant (well, I might be exaggerating a bit, but...) can take down this legion :)
The clone has a very remarkable property! The clone always moves after the original (unless he's blind or paralyzed), regardless of speed! That is, if we have 1000 snipers, during THEIR TURN, we create a clone of them, and it will immediately start moving, and the opponent will not be able to prevent this!!!! Well, then let them kill it, because clones rarely survive more than one round (of course, if the battle isn't against neutral creatures...).

The clone doesn't move immediately after its original. With equal speeds, units take turns, including the clone!
For your own army, everything is true. If the clone has a speed of 9, and the original has a speed of 4, then the clone will still move after the original! If the original is blind, then the clone will move immediately after the original "should have moved"!
