One 2 hp bramble thorn @ 2 hp= 1 wit--> total 1 wit

One 3 hp soldier=2 wits, movement= 1 wit, attack= 2 wits--> total 4 wits. ADD 1 wit if you boost (5 wits total). Additionally, you probably boosten the soldiers to defend against the veggie snipers.

PLUS that soldier cannot attack anything else that turn, which is important aspect that many people have not been considering. Maybe it is because only high level players consider this aspect. The only person I've seen mention this is burnodrod.

Obviously I am not considering the cost of spawning and moving the bramble (8 wits) or the parent thorn cost, but I think this make my point. I also didn't consider how brambles allow you to make tons of attacks per turn and take out snipers, medics and runners efficiently.

but once you build up a bunch of soldiers it's hard for the opponent to kill all of them because thorns only do one damage. I'm of course not always right though, so I think that beta testers should try a bunch of solutions, i.e. all of the ones mentioned in this thread and other bramble threads, and see what works best.

Yeahhh thats the point. The 1 damage attack wasn't ever meant to be used the way it is now (attack 3 times to kill a soldier) etc. My suggestion would force veggie users to make units. Iv'e played against veggies who only end up having vice versa, and I have played as veggies and done the same.

I do agree that many different things should be tried by the beta testers. A quick fix could be adding a wit cost for receding thorns and adding a wit cost for rooting (this cost would slow down brambles early).
