Okay, I know being unbalanced is a moot point right now ... but for some reason there is this bug that allows for Shortbows to ALWAYS to max damage and ignore armor.

also, even if the unit has more HP than the attack deals, its instant death for individual units (but strangely, it always takes 2 shots from a short bow to kill a party)

So yea ... I could have taken over the entire world with (probably) one, ONE Shortbow!!!

I mean, I invaded with 4 units, but only 1 had a shortbow ... and she was the only that got quick clean kills.

So after defeating my first nation, I upgraded my two Champions (husband and wife) with Wargs and Shortbows ... and they accompanied the Bar Wench (short bow unit) in conquering the rest of the world (3 more nations).

So in total ... probably 100 enemy soldiers died to a band of 3 short bows.

An army of about 10-15 units was slaughtered in a single turn by these 3 shortbows.

I mean ... I can see a legendary artifact ... but a mid-low tier ranged weapon!? Completely off-base.

As to the rest of the combat ... I like the counter system. I think its really funny when their 20 attack Hammer soldier is killed off before he can kill my Soveriegn who is right next to him ... I mean, it only takes one attack from a short bow to kill him (not like thats a big deal) ... but yea, a couple times (before equipping everyone with short bows) my units were almost in trouble.

But at the end of the day, I lost not one single unit to the enemy. Not ONE!!! Even in the battles w/o shortbows (although those were harder)
