better by explorers than by prestige.
I'm saying that because explorers are logically over powered, they become required in the strategy of a normal player. What most games have is a large variety of units that can all counter eachother. Explorers don't have an enemy besides other explorers and towers. This makes them capable of preying on warriors without worry. To truly balance the gameplay, we need a mobile unit that is capable of taking down explorers. However, in the meantime, ground attacking explorers are overpowered to the degree that they are essential for a strategy, but really don't add any degree of strategy or tactics to the game.
