Their train points have decreased from 60 to 55. I applied the fan patch and with 25 vills dancing,
the time to make one dog soldier is now 20 seconds from 22.
ES assumes that dog soldiers are worth 300gold, 20 seconds is exactly 300g in VS terms (22 seconds was 330g).
You might say that this is only at basic 0.6g per second gathering rate, but I believe it was Ulti that said true plantation gathering rate is only 0.5 if you take into account all the vills bumping.
So now you know you are getting your pennies worth. But are dog soldiers really worth 300g? Cuirs cost 150g and 150f and are arguable better than dog soldiers.
They have huge hit points, siege, and a fairly high attack, with a bonus against infantry. Also more importantly they are auto upgrade. Late game would it be better to have 25 vills dancing for FU imperial dog soldiers with amazing siege (devastating with siege dance >>> Axe rider), or is it better to have those vills gathering food and gold for more axe riders? Or maybe even dancing for fertility and spamming out units.
Will this change make a difference to Sioux late game?
Will you use it?
EDIT: I accidently posted this in the wrong forum, can a Mod please move it to general discussions?
