Someone could argue that "but usa is bad now!" but that's just the launch patch, if they give them a couple small buffs so they arent so slow, then crazy things like this arsenal start to show in games and prove the civ impossible to balance, and we are back to the beggining of the thread: new content is designed to be fun, not competitive
Actually, I think that they are just trying to gild the pill to keep money milking people with this abomination ironically called "Definitive Edition".
DE has overall objectively been a success(although obviously not as much at the “competitive” level) but stay mad that your shitbox pc can’t run it.

To be fair, that's including the marine card.

The problem is not about my pc at all (ad hominem btw).
Hundreds of new bugs, new civs with completely broken mechanics, politically motivated unnecessary changes and performance issues. Those are the real problems this "Definitive Edition" has.
Anyhow, I hope you have a nice day!

Is that with cards that they don't lose their HP? I am pretty sure that naturally they still lose HP
