This is feedback thread if you want to present your theories about Penals pls start another thread.
The chances that took people 3+ years to figure out how to play vs Penal as far less than to have power creep thou.
And it magically makes penals not economical burden on menpower in late game how again?
The unit you personally and without any evidence other then "I said so, so its true!" claim is "dominating" anything is simply false.
Penals strength in early game can be worked around with and they scale extremely badly into the late game due to lack of AI weapon upgrade and lowest in the game rec acc vet, so what JibberJabberJobber said about them stands true.
Sorry, units do not magically appear and disappear in the game to lean on their strengths and not suffer from their weaknesses, you have to look at the unit performance through the prism of whole game duration and penals could do with restoring their old reinforcement cost either from get go or as T4 thing as they no longer are unbeatable threat they were back when they were the only viable option.
If you can't see how that is relevant to the thread and the issue JibberJabberJobber touched on, perhaps you should not participate any further?
