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.

I get it .. I just don't agree with it. Sure, its nice to be able to turn a poison archer into a fire archer.
But you're turning an expensive archer into the equivalent of a cheaper archer.

I just don't think thats the biggest balancing act thats out there. Compare the problems of MA-Man, Oceania, EA-Yomi, ... there are much bigger problems.
