Australia is the only country that has only one border on the continent and then an additional one going to Amerika. On top of that they basicly have the best Units to lvl to Brigadier early in the game(Boomerangman), we all saw how fast the Aussies owned the rankings at the start of the round, you could say it had good players, but so did other country's. I already declared Boomerangman the best Unit ingame(with Archers comming on a 2nd spot) when I saw the new Unit stats before the round started so it wasn't really a surprise for me. Add to that that they start off with 12 city's, if I remember correctly Vincent defended the fact some country's had more city's is because they have more borders(like Russia or China), but Australia has only got 2 borders to defend, one comming from a different continent so its unlikeley they can expect company there to soon.
So I would suggest: -balance out the Boomerangman -give them additional borders with more country's, suggestions would be India(Colombo - Carnvron), 1 to the Spanish Colonists, and perhaps even one to Afrika? Edit: these are obviously suggestions for next round, as Im against mid-round Unit changes!

I don't use boomerangmen in my training, I got 2 boomerangmen in my army. So boomerangmen have nothing to do with high ranking.

Well, boomers aren't that good. Don't get me wrong, they are good units. But others countries have good units too. And they aren't as good as archers.
the problem with boomers is that you don't gain enough exp with them. You don't gain exp from battles that end in the first round.

Aussie fast-levellers didn't use boomerangmen. Perhaps, but at the start of the round Boomerangman were pretty popular even if only one nation had em on top of that they also had Archers which I consider the 2nd best Unit. i don't think boomerangmen are that good yes they lvl quick but yea and Japan doesn't have many boaders either so what should be done with them?? Canada doesn't have much either if you don't like what you call an unfair advantage join them i mean Japan did Great killing off alot of nations....... but sadly people Gained on us (BS, Sweden, Mongols) and our allies didn't help us so yea i don't see a proplem really Japan is bordered with 2 country's on continent + 3 oversea Canada is bordered with 3 on continent + 3 oversea Thats alot more then Australia so not sure what you are getting at? Well, boomers aren't that good. Don't get me wrong, they are good units. But others countries have good units too. And they aren't as good as archers. the problem with boomers is that you don't gain enough exp with them. You don't gain exp from battles that end in the first round. Aye Boomerangman are hard to level up but they are also very cheap to buy even as Veterans, and lets face it its like a week in the game before the first master Units that people lvled on their own start to apear, by then there are quite a nice pack of country's dead already.

Trust me when I tell you this ... I speak to every fast-levelling Aussie on a regular basis. None of them have/had more than a handful of boomerangmen. Most had no boomerangmen at any time. The only time I had boomerangmen was at the beginning I had two, and they were useless for me.
There are many units better than boomerangmen at this point.

If you guys didn't bought them then thats your loss because Im telling you as a fact that they *are* the best units to lvl you up the fastest to Brigadier. Im not talking about 3-6 people here Im talking about 30 people, its normal the top of a country lvls fast even if they only got medium units but when the basis lvls just as fast as the top of a different country then something is messed up with the units...

I know, those people are just on a lot. Look at the current rankings -- despite having some die, Aussie still has the majority of the topranks, well past the time that you say Boomerangmen are useful for levelling. What does that tell you?
Boomerangmen aren't the best to level up to Brig with. They constantly get injured, even at lower ranks.

Yes. For the second straight age another nation made a point of dropping an online army on me when I was all alone in a city. And for the second straight age, I died.

lol but I think there should be a new country by Aussie. Even though it isn't where they really live but it should definately be Samoa. Haha it's not coz I'm samoan or anything. Or give other countries sum territory so they can't protect one border.
