    Chuck Norris is overpowered when facing normal foes. However, Chuck Norris gets slaughtered by Bruce Lee's fists (with an AP bonus) faster than Hastatis getting slaughtered by Gaestarnes .

    Chuck Norris is just right in EB.
    People complain that he beats unit X or slaughters unit Y but its simple fact that historically Chuck Norris was so powerful that he could even defeat Ninjas
    I know there is precious little hard evidence to base this fact on, however I uncovered a little known inscription on the wall of the toilet at work which states:

    CHCK NRRS PWNS NNJS

    So clearly contemporary observers were of the opinion that Chuck Norris was far more powerful than Ninjas.
    This is well represented in the EB Chuck Norris unit being supremely powerful on the battlefield.
    It is in-fact possible to defeat the EB Chuck Norris, but it requires an entire stack of Ninjas, far more than ever existed in reality in one place at any time.

    Which brings me to a slightly off topic point: The unit description for Ninjas needs to be fixed, currently it only says "These guys are pretty neat; and by neat, I mean quite good".
    Given the (Chuck Norris notwithstanding) elite nature of the Ninja, I feel that this sentence needs to be strengthened somewhat.

    If what you say is true, then why did Chuck Norris get his neck snapped in two in "Return of the Dragon" aka "Way of the Dragon"?

    Or maybe Bruce Lee's fists had the AP trait that could penetrate through Chuck's armor of thick skin.

    Chuck Norris doesn't need armour.
    The only 'armour' he needs is jeans, half-open shirt, stetson & hard liquor.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    That one made me laugh out loud .

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

    This is the most scientific and intelligent Chuck Norris post I have yet to read

    In Delta Force I wouldn't say Chuck Norris is overpowered, but the whole world is underpowered. Of course, it's scientifically proven that the movie sucks, so I guess it's natural.

    Can you provide sources for that? If you can't, it means another entirely hypothetical proposition must be correct.

    The kitty was clearly boosting Bruce Lee's attack vs. Norris, with it's druidic meowing.

    I am humbly wondering if the Helvetii complained after the battle of Bibracte 58BC that the Romans were overpowered...
    My opinion is simple: If a faction seems overpowered, well, sucks to be me. What can I do to overcome this problem? Complaining on this board is only the final option, when all others are exhausted, and then, it is more often than not just a simple question. I agree that some gamers are very quick to come to conclusions that some faction or other is overpowered. My advice:
    Deal with it.

    I am of the controversial opinion that, no matter how much help he may have had, Bruce Lee still pwnd Chuck Norris. Therefore: Bruce Lee is more powerful than Chuck Norris.

    Now, if Bruce Lee ever got beaten by anyone in any of his adventures, then said person is more powerful than both Bruce Lee AND Chuck Norris!

    Now there's a frightening thought

    Shaolin kung fu monks annoys me. they always seem so unbeaten, when any other unit in the world have points of strength and weakness
    they don't even wear armour! they are too overpowered!

    No it's just out of general scholarly principle. We demand sources!

    No one should trust a Finlander, even if he has evidence to back up his claims with. Don't you have any faith at all?
