The Nightblade seems fun. Expensive, but fun.

Here's what I see as the problem--you only have a chance if people don't know anything about the nation. If they know that you have a nice early game(not as good as, say, Ogres though) but peter out early game for a while, people will just gang up on your large but weakly defended territory.

You have to hope that you blast out the gate faster than everyone else and that people don't then get worried and beat you down for it.

That being said, I'd rather see how it plays right now and buff as needed than create a monster. You're doing perfectly(and I'm breathlessly anticipating the Worg Riders).
