Sure the change by itself isn't huge, -5f -5c, though still noticeable, you could even call it modest.
But I'm saying
in combination with a -30w decrease to houses in situations say for example defensive play vs russia where India could go defensive gurkha and various camels and
arguably still be favoured without either buff I would call that quite risky. Still modest?
Yea I appreciate what you're saying with respect to touching things that are seen only occasionally because a new broken strategy might emerge but I was also led to believe via recent changes and subsequent discussion that we want to promote diversity in games. Was this not a predominant reason for the Sepoy change?
I also feel after having played India a lot and having used rajputs and flails in many games that the two suggestions I posted earlier are not risky and hit the correct weaknesses of the units, but sure that's just my feeling. Insignificant? Possibly, but at the very least it gets people interested in the unit and trying out strategies with them even if they prove somewhere down the line to be insignificant.
