Nerf Dreaths
Dreaths right now are extremely powerful. Most neutral armies can be very easily cleared using them, they are extremely easy to access and mass, and they are very strong against human opponents - their upgraded version is fast and has "Wait", making it good against ranged units, yet it also is absolutely terrifying against melee-based compositions, since it has unlimited retaliations which strike before enemy attacks. I believe that "Quick" ability they possess should apply only to the first retaliation they make during a round. If they have retaliations left after that, they should no longer be pre-emptive until the end of the round. This would allow melee-based compositions to deal with them more fairly.

SloulDreaths are very good, but other Barya isn't that good.
That's one of their strong points.
Now, where do the factions stand in term of ranking?
Most would rate it like this: Loth > Rana > Arleon > Barya.
Would you remove one of the strength of Barya, despite the fact that most consider it the weakest faction? -

EmperorThere's no way Barya is the weakest faction as long as they have these units. The upgraded versions are way too strong for their tier. On smaller/faster maps, you don't need any other unit. You can just rush with these. They can solo most neutral fights vs melee units on their own with 0 losses due to how absurdly powerful their skill combination is. The normal Dreaths are good, but not way too strong, but once upgraded they get ridiculous.
So yeah, I think they do need a nerf for sure, but some other Barya units such as the Skirmishers could be buffed a little bit to compensate. More diversity in the faction would be nice, because atm I see no reason to build anything but Dreaths + Musketeers on most maps and rush enemy with just that. -

SamHam MergedI find these puppies exceptionally good from the get go of a game, since they are fast, have good movement and due to their retaliation can hold a position and butcher most opposition single handedly. Their gimmick is very nice, but I feel they should be more of a glass cannon than a tank holding a position. Perhaps they should have less defence and health or take more damage from ranged? Perhaps they should also get to their current damage through berserk?

Duncan McFarlane MergedDreaths are by far the most OP unit in the game for their cost at the moment. Definitely need nerfed.

MustaRecently I started with the hero that adds damage to deaths, played the game with focus on dreaths only. I sweeped the whole map with 2 stacks of upgraded deaths. No laboratory or armory improvements were used. Just deaths and hero buffs and skills. It was so ridiculous I lost interest in the whole game!
