AI, economy, unit size and missile attack questions

Yeah, something like that, but there is more to it than a tough beginning.

According to the Recruitment Viewever (which is a little outdated, I guess, but should still provide roughly reliable information) Armenia or Hayasdan, as you like it, is openly discriminated against! :-)

Let's take a look at these guys



They have more or less the same statistics as Polybian Principes, but these poor, oppressed Armenians cost more than 100 mnai per round more than the Romans and available from the level 4, while Principes are available from the level 3.

Well, actually I can get over it quite easily - the Georgian infantry is only slightly weaker and available from the level 3 and you can argue that Armenian warfare was primarily based on cavalry, so this only copes with the facts. Fair enough, but why in that case do the Pahlava have Cataphracts from the level 4 (and something with even better statistics called Pahlava Noble Cataphracts available from even the level 3!) while its Armenian counterpart with identical statistics is available to me from the level 5, which I will probably never achieve :-) ?

I'm going to check this in-game...

Ah, I guess it is a deliberate attempt to make one faction "nigh-impossible", but why does it have to be my favourite faction? Why me, why me?

Oh and thanks for the wishes.
