An interesting analysis. And it is disturbing to see how many factions have less than Liao despite being out longer.

What about overall pieces per faction though? Is it more balanced out that way?

The poor lyran's get no respect!
WE WANT A STORMHAMMER CAMPAIGN WIZKIDS!!!

Highlanders have 14 LE's.

i've always know that the SwordSworn got to much LE loving... is it any wonder they are the UBERCheese faction? look at how many of their units have been errata'd or have caused things to be changed rules wise as compared to other factions...
SSw Towed AA causes pog stacking to be changed
SSw Arrow 4 caused the new artiller rules suggestion to be play tested

the LE Fulcrum was errta'd
the SSw Balac had to be given a repair marker

how many other have been done the same? thats 4 so far. how many other factions have cause so much fuss? LI just had to much happening in so short a time.. none of it's pieces are game breaking. Spirit Cats only have one unit that has caused enough of a fuss that it caused a rules change. Arnis Drummond..

now we see the proof of it all.

Uber cheese? Two words, Arnis Drummond. Another two, Bart Bradshaw. How about Veteran Legionnaire. Anyone say Green Padilla? How about Elite DI Schmitt.

The problem with Swordsworn is that they have a lot of very, very bad 'Mechs. Play faction pure Swordsworn and the so-called "uber" pieces are not so bad. Problem is, the multi-coloured faction armies that WK seem so keen on permitting and encouraging.

You forgot the LE Cavalry Attack VTOL was FAQed as well. 5 pieces. But yet SS got the LE VV1 Ranger. I get a sick little satisfaction in that one. But yes that's really nuts. The Mercs have more than SH. But then again I thought that Mercs should ONLY have LEs. Give the factions more loving WK.

Granted SSw have the most LEs + Us, but a lot of them are utter rubbish. Cesar Spano anyone? Lately they have been getting more decent LEs..but yeah, they do get a lot of loving.

I agree that the capcon has been getting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much loving recently and what about the Stormhammers? Did the people at WK forget they actually exist?

Main issues:
1. SH need more loving.
2. HL need more loving.
3. LI needs less loving.

Just my 2c :classic:

Quite true Kotch.

GCmdrArcanix. Don't forget the first issue that got everyone screamin. Hoverbikes. The SS and to a lesser extent the SC ones were the main reason for the capture-nerf.

Then there was the Veteran DF SM1. Put 6 in two formations and wipe out your opponent on the first turn. (If you got the initiative roll.)

7 of these units are uniques, not LEs. Are you counting all unique units or just LEs? That makes a big difference.

Those numbers really need to be broken down further between U Mechs/LE Mechs and LE Vehicles.

Total units numbers should break down by Mech, Vehicle and Infantry.

Don't cry for the Highlanders on quantity, cry for us on Quality.

i think WK should lay off the liao for a bit
