As for the weakness of they're guns i agree they didn't look too devastating, but about the amount of hunters, ensemble wants players to be able to play through a battle whatever was they want therefor making the amount of hunters limited would bring in to question the amount of other units are typically in ground engagements therefor limiting gamplay and making it a less enjoyable playing experience for most players
There is no fate, there is no god, we are not guided by an invisible hand, we carve our own path.
