I still dont think that SerpCats should be more powerful, but I also still do not understand them. I still feel that they should be less expensive (not: more powerful). Even: Less expensive and less powerful. Not: A new rope, simply give the Pythium player an incentive to purchase his or her own national national troops instead of independent ersatz. Being an inferior unit is perfectly fine, for many reasons outlined here and in other threads; but being inferior and more expensive makes reduces the unit in question to a bizarre "emergency break" you pull only when your train is already starting to derail, not part of any normal plan. Don't: make the SerpCat more like a viable Indy heavy cav; Rather: just make it a viable, interesting unit.
