Overtuned Infantry
I'm in the midst of a Jaffar playthrough and I'm having a great time. You've done incredible work with the units, animations, voices, mechanics, the works. This is a truly exceptional mod that I'm LOVING.

My only constructive criticism is that the infantry are overtuned. With the relevant +5MD lord trait, the +4MD armor, techs, nearby lord defeat traits, and skill trees, you can quickly get your T1 spearmen up to 70 Melee Defense, or be rocking Palace Guard with 65MA and 75MD.

I'm dozens of turns in and just starting to get T4/T5 buildings, but why bother when the T1 infantry will carry me through any conflict in a 1v1?

tl;dr For fun and balance, maybe consider buffing growth and nerfing infantry.

Thanks for your feedback. The base stats of the infantry are definitely balanced, we've tested that thoroughly. Regarding the buff effects thats something that needs to be tested further before making any adjustments. Outrageous stat increases are not unheard of in vanilla also. So we'll collect more feedback, thanks for yours!

I disagree. The infantry got some good bonuses but nothing unbalanced.

i use Empire spearmen all the way until the end of game, then again i use them as a meat shield for all my ranged units because empire doesn't really do melee.

I think the infantry is at a great balance

Pretty much every faction can do broken stuff like this in the hands of the human player. You should see a late game Brettonian empire where you stack blacksmiths, your plebs can have more armour than dwarfs at a certain point lmao
tbh I kinda like it, so long as the enemy can keep up with the armies. You end up being able to have even fights with three or four armies at a time which is just badass.

iirc you can get get 160 unit goblins with 72 armor in vanilla
