I am playing Avian Tactition right now. After being fully pumped prior to war, with my attack times I have 2.5 times the size I started. Six hour attack times diminishes the chances that people attack me because I can effectively ambush most major hits with in a 10-12 hour time frame. The down side is that I have lost 70% of my attacking power with in 4 days of war and I am running hospitals to combat that. The issue I see is not that I am taking too many acres but that my offense is dropping much too fast with trying to chain targets and trying to gain offense to hit larger targets with more defense is becoming increasingly more difficult. I would like to see elites value go up, maybe even 8/1 for Avian so they can maintain offense for a longer period of time. Even with that said -10% gains is really nothing since an invidual can attack in twice the speed as other people. I would potentially like to see -25% gains but the major increase in offense to combat losses. There is quite a bit of ways to combat these things but as people are torn down over a war the avian does not appear to be for a long term war but rather a grind war. Just my opinion since I am playing avian.
