Mod: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.6

I'm here to talk about Glaives(and their bastard son, Coral Glaives).

I would posit that in fact, all troops who use glaives are inferior. Now, I recognize that there are sometimes instances where one really does just need to punch through 20 protection or so. Unfortunately, most high protection troops have at least average defense scores(and many even have shields). Because glaives have an attack penalty, most of the time you are better off using a different troop that has a better attack score to score more hits(and get more chances at a crit), get past shields, and soforth.

Moreover, the only nations who use glaives don't need high-damage troops, as they use 15+ strength troops.

T'ien Ch'i has 15+ strength troops? At the price of their glaive bearers?
