Yes, regrettably, the price on the moose brothers should probably go up. I wouldn't nerf them in any way, just make them more expensive. I did manage to get a few killed... first one vaetti dies, then the second, then you just have a moose that runs away after the battle. Against a real player though, I think you would see some ways to stop them. The AI just doesn't know what to do, as is the case with many powerful units.

The herdsmen are quite weak. I've been using them as a meat shield, but I have to keep going back to a castle and filling up because they die so quickly.

The Hakkapelite are also very good. I stopped making moose brothers after I had enough of them. (partly because the moose brothers were just running over everything in sight). I think they are well balanced for their price. How about a little flame burst when they kick? Would that be hard to do?
