Looking again at vanilla armies and their duos, I kept hoping to see some changes to ALEPH with the steel phalanx update. Unfortunately not. Then, I got to thinking about the other vanilla army duo options. I can’t help get the impression that PanO, Yu Jing, and Haqq had dedicated teams looking create varied and interesting options. On the opposite end, O-12 basically got dumped on. Two units and bounty hunters. The other armies are somewhere in between. So, CB, is there any chance we’ll see the vanilla army duo list get finished to look more like PanO, Yu Jing, and Haqq?
Vainilla CA duos laughs hard. Besides Raicho + Kurgat, there's no any interesting. Similar case for O12, Bronze+Varangian could be playable. Nothing else. I hardly envy Haqq duo option, they feel powerful and fresh.
Achilles had duo before the revision. But it's probably mostly that. It still seems like the further down the army list you go, the shorter and less interesting the duo list becomes.
