Is it me or the artillery is a little useless?

I was going to experiment with the balancing of adding more artillery pieces to the units back in october, but didn't get the time back then and it was forgotten. They are indeed pretty much useless, but we didn't want to make changes that weren't tested either.

If you're interested in testing it out yourself, here's the suggestions that were thrown out but not implemented (keep in mind that the reduced upkeep also implies reduced recruitment cost; recruitment = 4 * upkeep):

I agree artillery is too expensive in general. The diminishing number of pieces means reduced effectiveness, so I propose these changes, how about it?

3-span arrow projectors have eight projectors per unit, with attack of 13 and upkeep of 1900 1400.
3-cubit arrow projectors have four five projectors per unit, with attack of 21 and upkeep of 2500 1700.
30-mina stone projectors have two three projectors per unit, with the upkeep of 3200 2000.
1-talent stone projectors have one two projector per unit, with the upkeep of 4500 2500.

This might sound unreasonable but, why not go overboard like this and ask the beta testers if they are too strong and cheap now?

• 3-span arrow projectors have eight ten projectors per unit, with attack of 13 20, ammo of 350 500 and upkeep of 1900 1500.
• 3-cubit arrow projectors have four eight projectors per unit, with attack of 21 25, ammo of 280 400 and upkeep of 2500 2000.
• 30-mina stone projectors have two six projectors per unit, with attack of 40, ammo of 200 300 and upkeep of 3200 2500.
• 1-talent stone projectors have one four projector per unit, with attack of 60, ammo of 160 250 and upkeep of 4500 3000.

Perhaps someone can apply these and post the files here, so people can test it and find a better balance?
