Peasant mobs are too cheap for whqt they do. +25g is still worth it seeing as you need to spend twice as much for the next cheapest unit.
This is super heavy nerf. No they are not too good they were literally like this for ages. Its meta because because bretonnian infantry sucks anyway so people just bringing the cheapest fodder out of the trio skavenslaves and zombie sthey are the worst.
Rakarth on a manticore costs 400.... FOUR **** HUNDRED less than hellebron on a manticore. With the only relevant difference being poison and murderous mastery over prowess. She has frenzy and better charge bonus, and better WS, while he has better armour and basic MA/MD.
I mean, he costs the same as the basic beastmaster but keeps the AP for no reason. And is the only character in the game that keeps his anti large while on a dragon.
Their cavalry is from fine to bad, only questing knight are too good for the price. C.A., questing knights need +10 armour, -1 M.D., +100 gold. And massive buff with A.P., M.A. and small (8) bonus vs large for grail guarding. With +200 gold cost.

ive never seen crone on a manticore. manticore lords are generally way overcosted, so its fine if one is less overcosted. rakarth dragons vs malekith, malekith has 15% physical resist rakarth 15 AL, my money is on malekith being the better choice most of the time. the changes were good, everything that needed to be done was done. maybe Grom rather than grombrindal should of had the price nerf but thats about it.

the 250g dudes both spears and the swords ones are good.
Pilgrims are fairly cost-efficient also.
Really the only "meh" unit (which got +4 MD last patch iirc) is Foot Squires.
In any case, +25g on Peasant Mob is warranted, it's +125g if you spam 5, which is a fair nerf and means 1 less spell on Fey or you pick 1 RoR cav and not 2 like now, it's fairly negligible in the grand scheme of things, the goal is to force Brets to pick a few more "sucker" units to compensate for them picking a ton of overperforming units also, can't pick 12400g of only overperformers after all.
it's not warranted at all, they were like that since the beginning of wh2 so how come now they are OP? Why they need super heavy nerf like 25% price increase? Not to mention 125 g skaven slaves or 100g zombies are both far superior units. I don't see why suddenly peasant mobs need changes.
One thing I've noticed about Rakarth on his Scourgerunner Chariot Mount is that he seems to be getting only half the ammo of regular Scourgerunner units and the High Beastmaster which seems inconsistent to me.
Lol u forget hes the only DRAGON with PROWESS and also anti large
The dragon may be intended, because he does have worse MD and MD in exchange (well, prowess not so sure). But him keeping AP at the same cost of the basic beastmaster is an oversight 100%.
I feel like one could argue that slaves have significantly more utility than peasant mobs simply because slaves screen for super high damage artillery pieces and weapons teams, wheras bret has nowhere near that level of ranged firepower.
Because if Peasant Mob is balanced around units like Zombies, then we should also give +50g on KotR and +150g on QK.
For epic balance failures, probably yea
Prolly time to balance those severely underpriced drag princes
Its funny even until now these failures couldnt face the question why a $1400 drag princes r able to destroy a $1500 chaos knights, not only they costs $100 less, u get xtra 5% free block, +11 free ld, +70% fire resist (LOLLLLL) and +12 free speed
In a game where elven favouritism isnt that prevalent u be seeing chaos lance knight at $1400 and drag prince at $1500 so they actually pay for the stats instead of getting free entitlements.
Realms with the same cost as cold knights rofl cant fail much further than that really
