Well I agree that early game should remain weak, but right now certain factions can kill them outright in 10 minutes(Rohan, Mordor). They just have nothing that can counter the spam. They need a bit of a cost reduction to scouts, and the scouts should be weakened a bit as well in response to becoming cheaper, and the Wildmen should be cheaper and about the same as peasant spam in terms of strength. This way, if you focused on getting Wildmen and scouts, you could survive early game, but it would also slow you down massively getting to late game. They should not get any spears early game, its good that cavalry can deal some damage early game. All I know is me and my circle of friends, which is like 10-15 people, all hate getting Isengard. They are the most impossible to use early game, and the most boring and easy to use late game.
