Koa unit cost

[Raledon]

The Koa unit in the latest SVN seems to have the wrong production- a production of 45 hammers. Similar units, such as the base light swordsman, has a production cost of 170.

The tech prereq on a Koa is Bone Working. It is a very cheap and very early version of the light swordsman that comes in way before the light swords do. It is thus not only powerful for being qualified early, it is also powerful for being cheap in comparison.

The charts check out on this one.

I see.. Shouldn't it be nerfed to something along the line of the stone axe to be in line in terms of power? A stone-age light swordsmen may prove to be an issue (if it wasn't so rare to get)

It might be a little too strong for its era. That would be something to mention in the thread where Rmi is putting together a spreadsheet on the cultures and attempting to improve balance on all cultural units.

I'll give him a heads-up over there, then.
