Balancing in 1.1.7: Heerbaan vs. Galikakus

[Majo]

Hello,

I think in 1.1.7 the Prices for Heerbaan and Galikakus are somehow imbalanced:

• Both have a battleaxe for melee
• Both have a throwing axe for ranged combat
• Both have 200 hp and stamina
• Both have a movement of 5 (7 if running)
• both wear no (real) Body- or head armour

Pro Galikakus:

• higher max fatigue
• deals slighly higher Damage (accorting to warband Management/stats)

Pro Heerbaan:

• Has a shield

I think currently having a Shield protects from more Damage than the galikakus deals extra, so Heerbaan is stronger in my opinion

Current Cost (authority points) is otherwise: Heerbaan 13, Galikakus 16

I know that now is a early state in development, that some Features like abilities will come into Play that Change this balance, but for the game as it is, Prices should be switched.

Btw.: do you have a Formula to calculate the Price of the Units or is it Trial and experience ?

Best regards

Majo

Hi. Shields are going for a change next patch to reduce their block chance. And once we use Proficiencies, the Galikakus will have much better accuracy with his throwing axes than the Heerbaan. Finally, both soldiers will have drastically different ability trees, with the Galikakus more focused in dealing damage from range and the Heerbaan in being more cost-effective in melee.

The cost of deployment of all units is fixed for now, but will change according to the unit's Class, Level and other factors.
