Those stats are a too good. With the physical enchantment drugs these unit itself can gain attack over the basic riflemen, and also 1/1 armor. It only has 2 hp less. I know that riflemen are a 2 cost unit, but this boy also has heal and disenchant, which cost a 2 turn medics unit to loose almost all attack and 18 hp (well in addition to the mind protection drugs, but some mental resistance is way weaker and more situational than +3 attack and 1/1 armor) compared to 2 turn riflemen.
The changes I suggest are:
- Decrees the effects of the physical enchantment steroids to +1 attack, and honestly I would even remove the armor from them, unless you really want it. I'd say it should have some cooldown. Let's say 1 if +1 attack, 2 if also +1/1 armor.
- In addition I would do either one of this:
• decrease the heal rate to 5 - btw I'm pretty sure flesh and blood units have 100% bonus healing, so they would get healed by 10 instead of 20
• decrease stats - 27 hp and 8 attack seems more like it

Also I suppose it can be made in tc and barracks?

[StormSaint373]

Yes it would.

Edited

I did both so that there is minimal chance of misbalancing.

I don't know about that, it may be too weak. I will think about this.

Hmm can do something like a fighter who shoots special syringes that heal allies and damage opponents? Or do they just change different ammunition, some of them are poisonous, others are healing? Or just make fighters who have a first-aid kit in one hand and a submachine gun in the other?

[Midonik]

We didnt plan for it to use chemical weapons, though it sounds interesting. I think the orginal concept was more like the latter from what youve listed.

I feel like they should have a more standard camouflage-pattern clothes, especially if they are supposed to actually fight.

That seems fine
