Avian.... What's the Point?
Been playing for a couple ages now after a long absence from the game (as in I played the first couple ages and then didn't play for however many years until last age). The one race that to me seems like it has no real point is Avian.
Okay, -35% attack time is very good. But then they have -10% gains, which diminishes the value of that bonus quite a bit.
Compared to other heavy attacking races, 6 offense elite and no stables is pretty debilitating.
Their only other bonus besides the -35% attack time is +25% birth rate. Okay, I grant that it can be quite useful in some situations, but it will go unused the great majority of the time.
Unlike human and dwarf, they have no bonuses that would make them more well rounded than the heavy attacking races.
So what is the point of Avian?
