Why such a high price?

[WraithLord]

I was quite disappointed by AOW-SM.
Of the three added races only one has good units/abilities and feels unique(nomads).
The shadow demons are beefed up undead.
The syrons are sadly a ragtag of half thought units.

I once suggested in their Boards to add a doppelganger unit that can shape shift to slain enemy. I was very happy to get a changeling unit.
Alas, it's completely useless. It can only shape-shift to a slain enemy killed in melee.
so if it killed an archer it's stuck there. The AI will use it horribly, changing to low level units. I wish they would have given more thought to creating unique units.
