Let me remind you, fanatics were designed to be a unit specifically for rushing enemy fields in phase 2. They were a funny rush unit to play with but had to be trained from the tavern. At some point, they were placed into temples and players discovered their anti Cav usage. Gaul temples are cheap and much more useful than taverns. These changes made them op.

I actually fully agree with you there.  That's why I love that this game is open-source. If you don't like some unit, you're free to balance it however you wish. You're also free to convince your friends that your balance is good and you should all play together with your fair rules. EDIT: You just have to change this one file.

Because its an infrequently used unit. Typically when people go for the reforms, they will want to use infantry.

Well they are not intended to be as expensive as champcav, plus re-introducing metal cost will make them just like a lot of the other champs, something we want to avoid. Diverse and unique units makes for a more enjoyable game. With that said, one thing to consider would be to reign in the gaul eco a little bit, perhaps by removing the additional farm technology. About the unit itself, I think the general speed balance complicates things. On the one hand, they need to be fast to act like a cavalry counter because cav are so fast, and on the other, they currently retain quite a lot of strength vs infantry. In general, super fast units should not get high damage and high armor, and melee champcav are the prime example of this. By banning champcav, players will understandably go for the next fastest (and strongest) unit.

I cant underestand how we make fanas more expensive. Just decrease wood and food and add metal. We just want to stop players to abuse fanas.

Well i believe only active op players who play or spec op games, able to balance the units not people who play vs bots and noobs Or people who are not in the op games. People who have experiences and talk based on observation not people who talk based on their imagination! Have you ever seen a noob abuse broken units? Of course not. because they have not the knowledge. Its the op players who abuse the broken units and we are here to report and lead the game to a balanced version.
