Guardian at the Gate
I haven't seen any other threads on this, so I thought I would bring it up. Started a game as Cyrus last night and noticed that the Immortals actually get +100% vs Axemen (the rulebook only notes that Chariots and Chariot UUs get +50%).
I am really glad they added a made Chariots a counter for Axemen. Definitely requires more of a combined arms approach as opposed to the Axeman rush - should be seeing more Spearmen in offensive stacks.
Chariots are now extremely effective as the 'anti-barbarian' unit: stronger than Archers, crippling vs Axemen.
I do not have any screen shots (posting from work). I will add some (much) later.
edit: this has been confirmed as only applying when the Chariot attacks.
