I am sick to death of the Atlanteans, i refuse to play them because they bore me to death (no skill needed to use them well). heres why. 2: I am sick to death of having destroyers snuck into my base whilst army is elsewhere in combat...then realising that their hack armour is so huge vil rushing/mercenarys wont save my buildings. Unescorted seige shud NOT be able to walk into a base like that and whether or not they have 2 legs eyes ears and a mouth destroyers are STILL SEIGE at heart... Fanatics i do not mind they are fine. 3:I am sick to death of an economy that is so easy to manage its not even funny and can be easily made unraidable (manor by gold mine etc). Even worse, this economy is quite terrifying in its strength, it outstrips even the egyptian economy as far as booming is concerned and can pull of a VERY good rush (unlike eggy). 4:I am sick to death of him taking theia (sp?) and plopping 2 hesperides trees each side of his titan gate. 5:I am sick to death of a civilisation that basically doesnt NEED to go heroic because it can counter everything in classical age. 1: Hesperides tree does not give immunity to god powers, im sorry but thats two much, you can already get 5 pop free half decent myth units out of it. Thats quite enough for a heroic gp. 2: Destroyer hack armour reduced by 15%-20%. 4:Katapeltes HP reduced slightly (maybe -10) Thats about it. I beleieve these alterations would make the Atlanteans more or less balanced, only their economy would be superstrong but thats not a problem if their units (which are not cheap) are not indestructable Well, rant over. I sincerley hope many of you read this and agree, i have thought about these points long and hard and come up with these solutions. I may be overdoing it but please feel free to comment/flame me (if you really want to). I believe more or less every non Atlantean player has had just about enough of them.

1: I am sick to death of cheiroballistae pwning my entire classical army, then if i try to fh....my migdol gets deconstructed, how cute.
How would you guys like it if my seige towers had 30 (unupgraded) hack armour? hmmmmm?
A little extreme perhaps but no matter how yyou think about it destroyers are SEIGE...and thus shud be effected by certain rulez i.e. Can be vil rushed, this prevents sum1 from sending them into ur base whilst army is elsewhere and laughing when ur vils try to stop them.
My reason for this is to make people use Cheiros as a SUPPORT unit...not to make an entire army out of them and almost nothing else save a couple of heroes.
