Duellists seem to be way more powerful than other comparable light melee troops. It's 50/50 whether they beat Empire Swordsmen.
They may look more powerfull in stats but dont forget that there are only 40 without a shield making them very vulnerable to missile fire.....also its the only light inf of the luccinese since the marines dont have the morale to withstand large fights so its the only thing that cna guard the rear of the phalanx .
I believe that the Lizardmen need a buff.....the temple guard is only 10-14 as a stormvermin !!!!!
