Yup. Same attack. Equipping units is usually a balancing act between movement range, health and attack power.
Great update, I now want them to go back to not being so aggressive My coins for a matched battle dropped from 10,000 to 5,000... Is that how it's supposed to be? I have the coin doubler. Hope it's doing well for you, Steve, it's a great little game!!!
The coins you get are also partially based on the 'difficulty' of the castle you're up against, so that could be a factor.
Just in case anybody's wandering what I'm up to nowadays: https://store.steampowered.com/app/802930/The_Rainsdowne_Players/
