    Or just release some sauropods and the things will lose their concentration. They would be more of a danger to the army that is deploying them because it sees soldiers as sausages and steaks. That might explain why they were never used in history...

    historically their main problem was that you couldn´t have cavalry if you used those babies and if we consider that todays closest living relative to those beauty´s are the chicken then their original place of domestication south east asia doesn´t show up in our map wich brings in more problems in explaining and portraying the enviroment in wich they ended up being domesticated originally, most archeological evidences show that at the start they consumed only 1 virgin every 2 weeks per animal until people started to feed them with pigs and other mamals wich lead to an increase in their methabolic rate and their numbers increased dramatically wich caused demographic problems due to the competition for food most empires that used them where considered invincible but fell down due to internal problems because everytime there was a draught those babies revolted and started eating the peasents wich lead to popular outcry against the excessive budget of the army required to mantain those special units wich where inefective in amphibious attacks or against simple stakes in the ground

    in many ways and in comparison with todays civilizations they could be considered the atom bomb of their day since the creation costs too much resources and once you use them you´ll be doomed in the short medium term so yes they look nice but their priçe goes far beyond their recruitment cost (/stupidity)

    EB isn't about balance its about showing off everyone's flamboyant face masks.

    oh God, what have I unleashed?

    what started as a sardonic remark, has escalated to a small meme!

    EDIT: you know what, we might as well give it an EB-esque name, since the damage is done...

    Tarbosauroi kataphraktoi maybe?

    EDIT2: so any more news from the Twitter page?

    No sources means they will be invisible. An extra challenge for the Baktrian player: finding his ninja FMs...

    I was trying to resist suggesting that the Ptolemaioi might use native Spinosaurus aegypticus. And the Bartixian terrorzorz. Oh yes I was.

    It would be fun if the devs would actually put a Tarbosaur in a far corner of the map, just for laughs

    "Noooooooooooooo!" as his whole army is now fossile food
