Summary0011351: Certain mythological creatures place during the "free" rounds can effect balance
DescriptionSo, was just playing around with placing some of the many mythological creatures on the board during the first 5 rounds as they were free.

I created a norse troll as one of my units (did not create a corresponding troll unit with the greeks)

Once the free rounds completed and the game started the troll moved towards the greeks as expected. He was able to wipe out my first warrior unit and was then parked in front of my barracks. Every round he would auto heal any damage dealt to him (which was usually less then what his auto heal was) and if a new warrior emerged from my barracks, he would instantly kill him off...auto heal (if needed) and this continued for around 10 rounds (where I am currently).

I'm in the process of building up other barracks, etc...but wonder if these types of units might be TOO powerful for the beginning game (while they are free).

I don't know if this is simply a lack of strategy on my part, or something that others might encounter, but right now I have no troops that are powerful enough to compete with the troll, and the Norse continues to generate warriors overwhelming the greeks.

Needless to say, if I do that again, I'll be sure that each side gets one

Definitely think there's nothing to do from the dev-side about this. :D Players should be free to troll whomever they please in-game.

This is something that might turn off a new player. Maybe tutorial edict should restrict the setup choices.
