Topic: [370137] Updated Troops / Research

In the short time I've been back to GGE, one of the things that has stood out quite clearly to me is how new and old troops alike have been disregarded. Having taken the time to put these troops into the research trees and even the game itself, you'd think they should be appreciated more. For example, there was a time when the veteran swordsman was decent if you knew how to use him. Now you've got veteran halbs and longbows that outmatch the swordsman, making him pointless. Now let's look at the halbs and longbows ( all vet troops, to be honest ), which are completely irrelevant as well thanks to simple glory / event rewards ( face it, acquiring them is a joke ). Why do we even have a tech tree at this point? And what about these outer kingdom villages which stopped at level 4 over half a decade ago? With troops like the barbarian that are suppose to be a 'fast' marauder but are literally slower than the next fella and do significantly less damage than almost every other soldier. Why are they even in the game? Some updates should be in order for older content to keep pace with the new in my opinion. Doing so will expand upon players viable options while breathing life into the work someone has put into the development of this game, rather than just directing them to the newest, same cookie-cutter ideal.

Don't just forget about it. 

I do not have all answers, but I do hope that this stirs at least one person to take a look in to this and try to find one. It is a shame to have all these elements in game but completely overlooked due to their irrelevance.

Thanks for your time!

Let's not forget the archer as well; poor guy never even got a second thought when all the veteran research was being brewed up. And the Bear / Lion troops that use to be attainable from Berimond? Nevermore? So many interesting troops just sitting and rotting.
