MA TC also has 12 morale Imperial troops, crossbows/composite bows, light and medium cavalry, ect.
If you look at a nation and say "what kind of casters does it have", and that's what determines if this nation is "hot or not", yea, you might be dissapointed with MA TC vs. EA TC. But then, you'll not ever be playing a national-troop themed nation, ever, anyways
