I definitely agree there. if you are trying to break into a base that
has 5-6 lvl 3 towers at a chokepoint entrance, it's nearly impossible to
break through it, especially if there's a row of wall in between and a
few warriors assisting in defense. lvl3 towers need a bit of an adjustment

As for explorers, they're really not as hard to counter as you would
think. they're really weak and end up going back to base quite quickly
after being hurt. But, to improve on the counter, what about this:
explorers that can't attack ground get a slight damage boost to other
explorers, but when they turn into ground attack their air attack damage
is cut in half, and air damage can still be delivered while an explorer
is heavily injured, however ground damage can't.
