I think give them all the AC but not the stats. There's no reason to reward people with stats that could seriously change the power levels just dependent upon their kingdom. Pirates and Samurai clearly get a huge advantage considering they get the stats that everyone wants. Then a luck advantage for forest? That sort of sucks.
