The issue with Golden Soldier is that it completely outclasses 2 towers; Soldier and Militant. After getting Golden Soldier there is no point or use of these towers.
I'm under the opinion that Golden Towers in general shouldn't be an direct upgrade, but rather a side-grade or alternative version of the tower.
This rework aims to make Golden Soldier a long-range tower that scales DPS depending on how far the enemy is, much like how people use burst-based weapons.
