[Balladeer]

Since all the ACGTO games are starting, do you want to declare this as a draw? :)

[Whackamatt]

yeah.  I don’t think the balancing is very good on some units. And why do horse archers RECEIVE support and not give it? Do you really expect them to wait for the catapults?  And why do catapults defend at 0? That’s a terrible unit for 7ics.  for 2 more you can get a defense of 4!

[Balladeer]

I didn’t go into the unit balance that much, just played with what I got :-)

Thanks for practicing!
