Moose Brothers changed. It seems the shield makes much bigger difference than I thought.
I increased encumberance of first form to 6 and second to 4, removed kick attack from first form and slightly lowered defence on the second form. I also slightly increased resource costs of Hiisi and Moose Brothers.

I think the encumberance change alone does the trick. If not, I can increase their cost or make them capital-only.

I forgot I gave them normal scouts as recruitables. I've given them thematic scouts and sacred hunter-chiefs.

The Hakkapelite are also very good. I think they are well balanced for their price. How about a little flame burst when they kick? Would that be hard to do?
I'll give Herdsmen leather caps. I removed them because I noticed the sprite didn't have them. Lazy me. :P

Flaming hoof would be very simple to do. Hakkapelite actually had flaming hoof attack for some time, but it'd make them cost more, and I decided non-sacred units with no resistances and mr of 10 shouldn't be made too expensive.
