Well Deuteroi are too expensive compared to panda. Me and Lazy tested and there is no noticeable difference between the two except that Panda fares better i melee due to the axe. With guard off, Deuteroi lose to Panda. Stat-wise, Deuteroi are technically superior, but this doesn't bear itself out in battle scenarios.

Also, shouldn't Deuteroi be either considerably better or at least cheaper than Panda? These were Greeks fighting for Greeks, not a foreign levy with very few ties or allegiances to their alien overlords.

And by alien I mean foreign of course.
