I’ve noticed on some games Destroyer can be very over powered. Especially if it gets sent out quickly in Age 3 - just 5 or 6 with a bit of support can flatten you.
You might say that it’s just good play and using those units to their advantage - however, I feel it is over powered personally.
In Age 4 they aren’t as good and can fairly easily be killed off if someone tries a quick raid (that was popular some months ago but people have wised up to it since).
What do you think?
I guess it depends how you apply the overpowered tag to.
A unit that can do its job or to A unit that has no counter?
Destroyers can take down Buildings but you absolutely can deal with them. It varies how easily/Hard from civ to civ. For example if you are greek with hyph or eggy with axemen or norse with TW they die fast
China struggles more against high pierce infantry due tot hem not having said hack anti infantry dedícated unit. And if you are greek or eggy and dont have counter infantry you might also struggle.
Another thing you might not be taking into is atty is strong on heroic not because of destroyers per se. Would you feel better if they didnt have 6 destroyers but 2-3 catapults sieging you from afar?
Destroyer heroes with regen are like mosquitos: ranging from mildly annoying bites to malaria civilization enders, depends on how you prepare for them.
