Baryan Steam Piper's upgraded ability adjustment

30 votes

Change Steam Piper's ability to give +5 initiative and +5 melee/ranged attack instead of +10 melee/ranged attack.
Currently, Barya is disincentivized from upgrading pipers due to the upgrade losing the ability to give +5 initiative - an upgrade shouldn't feel like a downgrade.

especialy when fighting a mage wielder and you need those extra initiative to be able to play before getting nuked.

The unit is already incredibly bad, so why not buff the regular piper main stats as well as add the combat modifier to their ability, and allow the upgraded version to increase movement (or range) by 1. This would make them useful even for later stage armies.

it's somewhat like the Arleon factions minstrel equivalent - it's Baryas's "musician unit" which just buffs a few units and don't do much else. But units are pretty bad, and needs some rework.
