15s for 5 troops is quite a lot. You expect high performance from that kind of investment. And there's still plenty of options in the spell arsenal that splat them, even with elemental immunity.

Think of them like super mechanical men. They come one level earlier (but as you pointed out, construction 6 is basically required to summon them) and cost twice as much in raw gem cost, and its S instead of E so its more like 4x as much. Oh yeah, and they have fatigue as a disadvantage relative to mechanical men.

I don't think anyone thinks mechanical men are overpowering... i certainly hope no one does.

Might I suggest that anyone who's still using regular troops by the time Ulm gets to Alt 6 Const 6 is *doing it wrong* and deserves to get steamrolled?
