Agree with what many are saying about tweaking the elves and halfers... especially Elves. Something if missing for them to be pure t/ms. And the leet value is too high to go pure attacker, making them overall kind of a weak hybrid race...
I feel like attackers in general are too pumped and t/ms in general are too nerfed. Something to look into.
Was hoping to see more Elf Hybrids next round, sadly that wont happen it seems
It's fine if Elf can't be a pure TM. But as you note, they also can't really pull of a hybrid role either. They're just kind of middling for any purpose.
If you cant take down the enemy t/m you cant win a war. Purely oping attackers is 100% going to lose you wars against good kds.Quote:

Why stop a 20 age tradition?Quote:

Is this the same conversion mechanics that undead had?
Edit:
Replace sage with artisan :D
Thats what massacres are for and there is nothing better then massing a faery. Sadly elfs look to be beyond weak this next age. Halflings and faerys are much stronger then elfs with these changes. But I like the changes and should be fun.Quote:

Each Race seems to have something they do well that the others don't really share. Elves don't appear to be better at anything over Halflings and Faeries.
You aren't massacring a t/m enough pre war to to truely disable them, 1-2 hits doesnt magically open them up to FB's and stoping NS/AW/Prop. Trying to massacre mid war is a death wish unless you have already won, in which case i repeat you arent winning if u cant down an enemy t/m. Either you win the core war so hard u can conquest/trad march wave them down or you have to be able to op enemy t/m's.Quote:

Let's agree to disagree and leave it at that haha. There are different ways to play this game and we obviously play different which is fine. I aim for wars not to last past min time. :)Quote:
