There's those that just want to max one specific stat, not everybody is looking to be a master in all stats.
As a force gotta think a lot on all the units we could be using instead. Pretty much if you want to be a jack of all trades, you waste 3 slots v801/centbattle/v502 and get one?? (probably a centurion mind in the end).
Some peoples just want a nuke force to go and that leaves space to play around a bit better with the stats. D: I vote in increasing everybody to 250 mats!! xD
