I agree. This trend of making new civ units overall better than their previous counterparts is really annoying

Just look at the new African mercenaries. The imp stats are insane with the European politics.
Those javelin rider merc cost 250 gold, 2 pop and are 50% stronger than imperial dragons.
3 pop the unit would be ok. Just one example.
Same for magaudi, 80 on both melee and range costing 1 pop
the russian 1 is actually very good
Just broken.
Really this is what really annoys me with aoe 3. War chief dlc was fine but after that it felt each dlc has to have more broken, more op stuff in it than the content so far.
I stopped playing lesge of legends for similar reason long time ago. Becusse new champs (on release) keep being broken.

Yeah, if you manage to double card them, they will eventually get good. But on a normal age 3 they quite mediocre unit that you just do it because you don’t have much more options (Musketeers sorta suck on age 3 onward)
But any way… I don’t want to change even more the topic, specially after I took the title of the topic too literary. 
yesterday i saw ethopians neftanya skrims fully carded in imp for the frist time. 330 hp and siege damage resist?? also higher dmaage than all european skirms max stats
like wtf. skirms should have low hp so that they face bad against cannons. these dudes turn falcs into a softcounter. no other skirms has over 300 hp and they have 330.
I reall really dislike this kind of way introducing new civs with broken (in pop efficency) units.
