White Tigers cost 100 gold, and White Monkeys cost 23 gold. Flail troops cost 10 gold and 26 resources. Why don't you do the math.

You do realise that units are balanced among their nation, not necessarily with those of other nations?

So PD is important now?

Only if you choose to include it in your strategy. As I've said in another thread, there are times I won't buy a single point of PD. There are others where I will spend 20 points or so on PD.

I can pretty much route any army stationed in that province by having my smiths spam blade wind.

Assuming of course your opponent doesn't bother moving in a force to defend, or otherwise change the playing field, which if they had any sense would be their next move...

I will have 120-160+ soldiers routed just from dead markata. I am now closing in on 75% mandatory route.

As I said, assuming he simply leaves it alone, and doesn't move up troops who'll laugh at blade wind, or even a mage to counter it. Of course, it would be incredibly nasty if he actually decided to attack that province on the off chance you'd set up the army there to take on the chaff of his PD rather than the heavy infantry of his main army.

You are wrong. I am right.

Only if we forget why you're playing these games in the first place. At the moment, you're only proving you can't use the monkeys effectively
