I have to agree with that...
hahaha... I just had a game against the snathi where the leader was a 74 att, 11 def, 49hp guy with a human female (pathetic stats, like 1 att 0 def 8hp).
Which was fine. I finally got an army ready with 5 parties of archers, my queen, and 4 summons ready to attack...
... Only to see his son mature, and turn out to have 495 att, 364 def, and 54hp.
