Chu ko nu DPS issue

[frankwoe]

Unique troops of different nations is definitely one of most interesting part of DomiNations.. However the design seems super unbalanced. For example, chinese chu ko nu is described as 'faster firing rate'. Then how on earth is their 'damage per second' the SAME as ordinary bowman??!! Are they shooting weaker arrows than ordinary bowman?!

Literally all the bowman unique troops, i.e. chu ku no and longbowman are overwhelmed by bushi or legions. Please consider fixing it.

Ya, i have that same doubt but also i think, the 'damage per second' is different than 'faster firing rate'. It can fire the arrows fast, but the damage is not that heavy. If that is so then, they need to fix this. I have seen samurai destroying the building so smooth and fast, they justify.Others can also share their understand, waiting for more replies.

dexterouz you are absolutely right. Samurai is sooo powerful...given each upgrade the increase in damage is much more than the ordinary phalanx: 60 vs 50 on first upgrade, 132 vs 75 on second upgrade, almost 1 vs 2

if 'faster firing rate' is different than DPS, then the only explanation is each shoot does less damage.. Then i really cannot think of what's the point of the stupid rate thing.. just for visual effects?
