	Cruiser's aren't all they're cracked up to be.  They're slower than
hell (unless ya know that special little trick... ;)  ), which seriously
hurts their cost-effectiveness.  The MAIN reason cruisers aren't that
great, is there absolutely horrible aim.  It's really, really annoying
to have to re-target after you see them miss an entire volly.  Plus, the
fact that their reload is quite a bit longer than that of mammoths, and
actually nearly that of V2s, make them not the best unit.  
	Sure, I've played some games where I've hit the ship limit (with 3
other people, all allies), and I've had 25+ cruisers.  (Sadly, none of
them were actually completed...games crashed before the big battle).
	A large pack of longbows or even hinds can spell massive trouble for
cruisers.
