chris,
I
am getting this.
You are not
getting that versatility
is an upgrade. Sauromantia could turn the vast poison archers armies they used for early expansion, into vast FIRE archers armies as soon as the enemies start fielding poison immunes to counter them. Shouldn't they at least need to replace the Androphag archers with the non-poison ones to have this opportunity?
Slippery,
can't agree that we shouldn't discuss realism
The relationship about realism and fantasy in the game was long discussed anyway in the first thread about poison arrows by Sombre IIRC.
