The problem with "Dutch States Army" card

It should include infinite mercenary shipments speed as well.

For some reason they don’t right now, and I have confirmed that this is intentional.

Problems:

  1. There is still not enough incentive to put infinite mercenaries in your deck, since there is no synergy with the card.
  2. The speed arrival would only be relevant for like literally 5 min of the game since you’ve sent the card. And that is only if you want to send an Age III shipment after the card. Also in part because overcharging your deck with 1 time use cards in Age IV is not sustainable, particularly for long games.
  3. The buff itself is actually pretty mild (like 12 seconds earlier) when I think it should be on pair with the Swedish bonus (that does include infinite mercenaries by the way)
