Are land provinces with Shamblers unbalancing?

[Shovah32]

no, the large gold cost and low prot+lack of shield evens it out imo.

I wouldn't think so. They are not too difficult to counter.

Yeah this is exactly my experience too.

They are imho only attractive for conquering the seas.
But for the 30 gold you would get 3 shortbowmen e.g..
And those 3 shortbowmen only cost 3x4 resources. Or 4 Slingers, they cost 4x2 resources.

For me usually gold is the bottleneck though. So the 1 resourcecost of the Shambler is not a too big advantage.

You need them to invade the seas. They're pretty wimpy, though.
