Shouldn't the description of the 'Barbarian Axe Fighter' not be changed?
I mean this description of it being much weaker than hoplites was from the time that the Barbarian village had just 10 levels and the Axe fighter was the only unit it fielded. Then 1 hoplite counted for 5 axe fighters.
But now with the new improved Barbarian Village the axe fighter is meant to be an upgrade to the clubfighter and actually to be trained and 're-equipped' by barbarian leader Latu. (story-wise)
So as of right now the barbarian Axe fighter is equal to the hoplite in pretty much everything except the upgrades.
So methinks the description of the Axe-fighter is ripe for a rewrite.
