Maybe.
Spend your cash on a Console... Be a Console gamer.
It was Acting, However, Knowing Ubisoft, They may attempt to change that. I've seen them done stupid things in the past so it wont be no surprise if they change it. There is already a rumor that someone started saying that they will be removing the 2nd MMA.
Edit: Friend of mine told me that it's not possible to do 1 Recruit lootspot tags with MMA anymore.
Well, Troops will cost less. HOWEVER... If you use the wrong troop on the wrong adventure, you are royally SCREWED in the adventure.... With them changing the whole island, its only because the reduced the recruit costs.... But Recruits will now be pretty much useless on the adventures in the new combat system. Will have to start using Militia and Soldiers more often and same with Long-bowmen instead of Bowmen.
