Stormtroopers are the worst unit ever....read on

A quick note to say "I hate stormtroopers"

Simply put they destroy game dynamics by making anyone who has them so ridiculously powerful early game that it makes a mockery of any player not using them. They so ridiculously upend natural game-play that whoever doesnt have them (if they can manage to survive long enough) has to wait for tanks to show up to find an equaliser (unless of course if they have mountains of food and can make unlimited cavalry).

Anyway the joy of this game for me is using skill and game play to squeeze every victory possible out of any game. Stormtroopers destroy any nuance and by the time tanks come around, your likely being so dominated by those flush with stormtroopers (who got a MASSIVE early start for the first 12 days) that you will never catch up.

CANNOT WAIT for them to just disappear.

BTW - I was leading a 4xspeed Free for All 100 player event for first couple of days. still second on Day 11. but the guys with buckets of stormtroopers are filling out the rest of the top 10. And the number one guy has double my territories - which is just not possible to do without either mega cav or stormtruppen because without them, every time you take out an army of 50 or similar, you have to go rotate your troops for a days rest to recover morale (which is a great rule). But the stormtroopers are so powerful when you use x3, that they can just keep smashing their way through everyone (hence double my # of territory).

(Also I still have no food so haven't been able to build a barracks or a cav. ).

Anyway, its not that im only coming second. its all the poor bastards that just HAVE ZERO CHANCE. To me it just ruins the game play.

Anyone else feel this way?

PS I have plenty of metal so I have dozens and dozens of cars. but they fatigue when they are used to attack repeatedly even with say 14AC + 40INF.
