Talk:Throwing Axeman (Age of Empires II)/@comment-2409:4071:2293:314E:6DD8:F34F:C545:F937-20180816125903

Is there a bug in the game with the throwing axemen? Because even after I researched Ballistics, villagers are easily able to escape 20 throwing axemen IF they simply walk diagonally across them. Throwing axemen fail to kill anything moving diagonally and I have seen it happen EVERY time. Why do they say Accuracy is 100% then?? - IS THIS A BUG? If yes, devs need to fix this!!

In fact, Devs need to fix the Franks Civ overall. It's easily the saddest Civ in the game. First, they nerfed the Frankish Paladins by introducing Bloodlines for everyone. And now, I see they nerfed the throwing axeman by introducing Arson and making it available for everyone - now all Infantry have Bldg attack bonus. One reason I don't even make axemen while playing as Franks. It is like playing a Civ which practically has NOTHING going for it compared to even other weak Civs. The bonus +2 attack vs Bldgs is hardly worth the 25G!

Every time I play as the franks, I always think about why Devs did that and almost always resign from the game midway because it feels like an imbalanced Civ deliberately nerfed by Devs!
