Intro / Summary
Currently MA is considered trash by most of the community, this is due to its high population requirements / costs making it more viable to not recruit MA and have more LC.
This is especially so when faced with builds with minimal archer amounts. Reality is, MA only comes into its own when faced with archer turtles, however, with the additions of the newer pally weapons. I would be expecting to see archer turtles replaced with SP/SW turtles due to the 30% def bonuses.
This would leave MA even more trash than the local trash raccoon.
What needs to be done (MA):
Make MA more viable vs the standard defence build.
What could be done (MA):
Reduce its population requirements to the same of LC and reduce its material costs to approx 200 Wood, 100 Clay, 150 Iron.
I would suggest, increasing its offensive strength from 120 to 125.
Potential other changes (Archers):
With worlds where Archers are enabled, perhaps a 5% def pally bonus could be applied? This could reduce the current 30%'s from Swords / Spears to maybe 25% each?
Tdlr: MA are trash, except vs Archers, which new pally bonuses make even rarer. A change to make them more viable for other situations is required.
Archers are still very good on their own, just in a large quantity, however, with the extra bonuses for spears and swords, I suspect a good mix of spears/swords could make archer spam less effective.
Open to thought if this gets approved x
