Babylonian Bowman Stats Full PM-box? Change here!

Should the abilities of the Babylonians special unit, the Bowman be changed?
It currently gets 2 moves per turn which makes it faster than Immortals, Swordsmen, Standard Archers, and Hoplites.
It makes it the same speed as War Elephants, Knights, and War Chariots.

format for above poll: attack(bombard[if any]).defense.move(s)

An extra defense point seems good to me, as bowmen proved good defenders in history, but I wouldn't complain if the stats were left the same. Only flaw is that the egyptian UU has the same stats...

The main thing that I don't like about the current stats of the Babylonian Bowman is that they are exactly the same as the Egyptian War Chariot's. I think they should simply modify either one and I would be happy. I just don't like 2 different unique units having the same abilities.

i think it would be cool if bowmen had the ability to bombard. i dont think it would do that much damage, but so early ...

I think (hope) that the people at Faxis have done enough testing to finetune the stats of each and every CSU so, that the game balance is perfect, and total harmony between civs may be achieved

It shouldn't be a bowman. It should be a better settler.

That would make a military triggered Golden Age highly difficult for the Bablyonians... probably not a good thing to do

What the heck? Why do 40% of you want the Babylonian Bowman to have the same attributes as the Egyptian War Chariot. That isn't very "unique" if you ask me.

i still say if they are so damn good at defending they should get the extra DEFENCE POINT.

Still, a majority want it changed. They just can't agree on what to change it to.

I'm going to start a new poll with only 2.2.1 and 2.1.2. We'll let those 2 duke it out and see which one wins.
