I don't like the idea of giving units ranged resistance. I mean, it's a sound idea but I believe there has to be a more... well, graceful way of dealing with it.

Attack and defense have some kind of impact on damage, how about giving ranged units very low attack?

Req already nerfed ranged unit's damage, so I don't think that is necessary. As I said, the only real unit you need to be worried about at this point is balista; marks are too scarce, and can be taken out with your own ranged, while the other ranged units are so weak and low ranged they'll be lucky to kill 2 protectors.

Nerf ballista then. If you're saying that only ballista are the problem, why punish archers (assuming Req allows arbs and marks to bypass this) along with them?

Now you're confusing me , are we still talking just about protectors or about my original post . I think, looking back at the other one, you were talking about the original suggestion.

The changes, for the time being, seem fine. Balista have had a big cost upgrade (now in the same leauge as hc and kinights) and a tone down in their damage. You'll have to wait a good while before you'll see 5-6 balista armies wandering around. My suggestion was put forth before req made his changes, so I don't know whether ranged resistance for higher level units is still necessary. I'm thinking probably not; we may just need to tweak their hp a bit, to keep things balanced, but after the nerf nothing so drastic as what I proposed.

ahhhhhhhh the summoners!!!! their movement ability just obliterated my army, i finally actuatually counted the movement for the opponent and he over ran me bc of the summoners, wow that is a good ability, i mean no ranged but sheesh that changes it up, got to keep your army surrounded by hight level troops
