There are two posts, so far apart in separate threads that they can be easy to miss, so I link them below. Basically, they know some re-balance is needed, but want to tread carefully because of all the investment players have made in troops. I know skeleton was being talked about by us players in the thread, so I bet its on the list, on how it can be nudged without destroyed. Buried in another thread is this comment: > [@The BIG issue with 1.08 (Goblins, traits etc) comes down to this](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/the-big-issue-with-1-08-goblins-traits-etc-comes-down-to-this/2524/8): > > Just quickly (and simply)… We agree!
