Please un-nerf unit AP

The last patch completely nerfed my army due to the changes in AP.

from my observation:

• heroes are now impossible to equip, a lvl 5 hero already costs around 50 AP without equipment
  

• I used to be able to field 4 HI + 4 archers with 6 heroes in total for about 1000 AP with some minor equipment. Now, I'm not even able to field 4 HI and 4 archers completely naked (no heroes or equipment) asit already costs 1060 AP
  

• from what I can tell, equipment is far less affected by the patch, with AP being more or less the same. I was already not a fan of equipment since it tended to be OP, but now it even feels like your being punished for leveling units. Probably you will get better results disbanding anything above lvl 1 and just rely on equipment
  

So please, please change this back. I LOVE big army battles, but at the moment that's just no longer possible. PLEASE tune down AP requirements, and while your at it, please give higher AP caps with barrack upgrades (upgrading from lvl 15 to lvl 16 only gives you 2 AP extra for example, and lvl 17 only gives + 100 even though 1 arti unit is already 150-ish AP

The only problem is the number of AP allowed to create an army for battle. We are looking into this.

I like the new AP cost distribution. Assault are much more useful the regular LI - (my opinion) so their cost is increased. Makes sense.

I have a LV14 Barracks and I have finally been able to field 9 units now so it is fun adapting to an even larger army (previous was 7 units was all I could bring).

(Observation) The more units have increased costs for repairs/healing and with the drop of resources for NM battles..it has hurt the resource gain. However, there is still no complaints, because I have never lost gold in a battle (rewards-costs)...just takes more battles.

Lastly, a huge jump in battle points (use to be around 41 when I had a 1000 pt army, now around 70 for a 1700 pt army).

Thank you for the update. Next goal to check artillery and see if they are useful - about a week to go.
