RE: [NetEpic ML] Slann, the required balanceAgree LOL, just to let you know all Exodus units were copyed from other units in use by other armies. The Necron and True Slann foot troops are and can be the only problem. As for the Mechs and I'll hope all keep open mind, are really no stronger then Knights and when taking a Mech pod it is twice the cost so very fair. Mech support cards also cost more then Knight cards so again fair. I feel just simple things like dropping Null field to 6cm and upping Necron cards by 50pts will fix alot. As for the True Slann a company of leaders is maybe to much, and in my original thought for the Vanguard was to be just a leader for the Spawnguard. Plus being able to take it as a Special card. And I feel I'm right!!

  Hi!
   
  Point taken. I'm not too keen on raising their break point (unless evertone dictates otherwise). A standard break point suits them fine.
   
  As for the points most units in epic are not priced the way they should be, so it would not be fair or balanced to apply the formula cost in force to the slann.
   
  As for stat changes, I'd rather not go there, price is a far easier thing to change and stat power or weakness is too subjective. A slann player will say they are okay while the opponent will say they are too good. Price is something both sides can agree on.

    No other commandunits have a higher breakpoint than the rest of the army so I dont see why Slann should. The weakness of Slann is in their few numbers. By increasing breakpoint you omit this weakness and we are pretty much back where we started.

    The structure of the game is, and has always been that VP is awarded when the unit is broken. We should not change that.

    Ramos,
    If I understood right, you said that the prices where 75-100% off, but you only changed them 25-40%
    Why didnt you change them all the way?

    I dont think these prices alone is enough to ballance the game, it must be easier to inflict casualities on the slann.
