So... if 10 Kipchaks cost (a cuman player) 600w+350g (50 less wood than this tech costs food, and 50 less gold also), this technology is pretty much "hey, let's overprice this and gift it to my ally", in a 2v2 scenario? -

Poorly balanced. A really bad technology in 90% of all games. What's the benefit? - how often does it make sense to have a tiny force of 10 fighters of one sort joining your ranks without any chance to recoupt any losses??? From a strategic standpoint a pisspoor investment. Many units, including those that put quantity over quality (like shooting multiple arrows of weaker force in a volley), only become effective with greater numbers. 10 is ... just not enough.

Either make the cost scale with number of allies (and lower the base cost!) or drop this nonsense alltogether
