Yes, i agree the blockhouse should get a little extra HP since it will be both a house and rax in one. Should your opposition knock your blockhouse down it would be the same as knocking down a house and rax in one, therefore it should be more difficult to knock down.

Im just questioning if it is really that advantageous to have the house combined into the blockhouse. When the opposition knocks your blockhouse down they take out a rax, outpost and house in one.

Yeh thats a good point. Atleast when you have houses, they are safe at home and usually get hit after your rax. When your rax carries some of your pop, particually at a forward base, you could get poplocked if forward blockhouses get destroyed.

Russia got a big boost with the nerf to FF, but it's blockhouses have been nerfed on a relative scale, seeing as a rax costs less and trains most colonial units faster, biggest reason russia is dominant in colonial is because they can pump out units faster than any other civ. The boost to the hussar and stable is another nerf to russia because their strelets are now counterable in colonial.
