Golden Era Discussion

As far as I can tell, the lowering of the dominion only affects the province they are in. And the patrol phase is after the enemy movement phase. So if you know they are going to be used against you (if the Arco player is playing GE) then all you have to do is have 10+ Normal Patrollers (Slingers/Militia work fine) or 20+ PD and it will catch almost every Stealthy +0 unit as they enter the province.

With the cost of GE's armies and their low production it's quite a bit more difficult than would seem to put up an army to match most other nations. Especially since they don't have much of a lower resource unit to fill the ranks. Unless you try using Slingers, Cardaces, PeltLast for the bulk of your army (Gogo Protection). With no access to a standard and the amount of men that die from any normal HI, the Ol' Chariots don't have shields so they get decimated by Friendly Fire from Javelins, it's a rough world for GE.

Please Note: I feel the theme is very nice; The Engineer alone makes you think about different choices for Castles, which in and of itself, is a great thing.
