cost 70 food and 60 gold, takes 3 pop slots and boasts a 5x damage bonus against buildings, has 30% hack armor and 69% pierce armor and 150 hp'
Now the Destroyer Fares "too Well" against Normal mainline troops...Destroyers are classified as "Siege" since Kronos get a 10% discount on destroyers....Since Destroyers are "Siege" Cavarly should be it's direct counter IE Hippikon, Camel, Raiding Cav,Contarious...yet the Destroyer beats these units...when it's not supposed to...The Destroyer also fares quit well against Normal Infantry, and Archers...
So looking at the Big picture..the Destroyer is only effetivly counter bye Hyapist, Axemen, Throwing Axemen, and Cherio-Ballista...
The "Real" Problem lies in the Destroyers "Hack Armor"...and people said Eggy Siege Towers were OP..come on...a Siege Unit with 30% base Hack armor...it way OP IMO...The Destroyer is allready affected bye Armory up's and Infantry Line ups...do they really have to have 30% hack armor too?...it just makes them too difficult to Counter...since they fare so well against Human troops...that groups of them can drop your buildings before your Anti-Infantry can kill them...due to 30% base Hack Armor
My Solution: Take away 15% of the Destroyers Hack Armor...in return..boosts the Destroyers Muliplier against buildings...actually 15% hack armor is "too much" for a Siege unit...but it would atleast keep them from fairing so well against Mainline Infantery/Cav...when in the in-game help says..only good against "Buildings"...Imagine if Eggy Siege towers Effectivly beat, Cav,Other Infantry,...you would see my point...or give Cav a 2.5 Bonus damage against Destroyer or something has to be done...Cuz the Destroyer as too much Hack armor and fares too well against Normal Mainline troops that puts the other civs at an unfair disadvantage against a mass of destroyers
Think it's funny how ingame help says counter with Archers lol..they got 69& pierce armor...archers ain't gonna work very well...but boy was i shocked when i seen they straight up own Cav...that IMO isn't right...they are Siege...Cavarly is siege Weapons direct counter...Something has to be done About the Destroyer or else..people are just gonna start massing them...knowing only 4 units in the game can kill them...and belive it or Not other Atlantean civs are hurt more bye this then anyone else...they have to make Cherio-Ballista's just to counter them...they have to make a 4 pop slot unit to counter a 3 pop slot unit...that is kinda a raw deal me thinks...but greek/norse/eggy have simliar problems against them
