In war humans have the most offense from elite+horse, and their elites have 3 def as well (the highest off and elite def 2nd only to fae/elf). They also have quick feet, which is equal to 40% of the avian speed boost. A well built human can brutalize an enemy. Elite costs make it hard as hell to pump a human as much as it should be, but that challenge is part of the fun.
What personality is your inherited human?
