You know the problem with those guys? Low morale. They are cheap, low resource, and have high protection (6) for cheap, low-resource units. And they dual-wield! Sweet! Until you consider how Dominions combat works. Well, nobody knows how a morale check works, but still... they use daggers! So they get 2 morale checks, and possibly 2 damage with 2 more morale checks, every single time they attack - since virtually every unit has a longer weapon. Tribal Warriors against a Spine Devil or Atlantian spiny infantry (both hurt and poison short-weapon units) would not be pretty.

That's why militia carry spears... militia are worthless, but at least with a long weapon they can fight worthlessly rather fleeing worthlessly=)

If anyone combat-sims Tribal Warriors versus Light Infantry or Militia, I'd be interested in seeing the results. Right now, I would bet on the cheapest light militia (prot-3).
