Bonus damage vs cavalry in any form would probably end any debate, this is now the best melee unit in the game in any situation where you have a ranged unit as well. ggwp everyone.
I feel like the concept just doesn’t work for this game that well. All melee units are already meat shields, I don’t think a trash unit that is the best meat shield is a thing that could really help with balance.

They literally have 8 damage as the max possible (unless you have a UT or bonus that alters this) or if you take my stats, 7. Take away some due to melee armor and you have one of the worst attack values in the game. I’m pretty sure a +4 or something isn’t gamebreaking. Not to mention, they have low hp. Archers behind these guys would be strong but I wouldn’t call it OP. Give a few units some bonuses against them maybe and it would be balanced
