Default Araxis costs 100 million dollars and Vanquish costs less than a million...

And Vanquish is arguably better since she has a +1 attack more than a guy that costs more than 100 times her?

What am I missing?

Oh I have the $ to get him, I just don't see why he is so expensive when a general that costs a 100X less then he does has about the same stats?

I understand I will need him to do those two jobs in the Undead Realm, but sheesh, he could at least have had an attack of 20 or something to show how much more dominant he is over the human generals...

Araxis is a newer addition.

Besides that I just suggested they add new general costing 1,000 times as much as Araxis. :> (evil grin)

He's just a money sink, pretty much the only reason he costs so much.

This is what I was thinking.

If you look at all the past heroes you recruit, their stats are pretty bad, and each one just adds 1 or 2 points to att/def while also taking away 1 or 2 stats from them (ex. Titania has 7/6 while Morrigan has 6/7, but they are unlocked at different times). So in terms of stats, there is no surprise that Araxis is 14/16.

As for the 100 mil, I think the devs finally found out that the heroes are very cheap for people that have 1 mil+ income (which only takes a few weeks to get). So I think that's why they made Araxis cost 100 mil....something higher to aim for.

Honestly, for most people 100 million isn't really a big deal.

Rather, I look at the other heroes as being obscenely cheap. If they release many other heroes, they will likely be significantly more.
