Here's my question: What is blizzard? Is it kinda like Fog?
Age 65: Honor crown with ED and #1 honor DW.
Age 71: Honor/Land/NW Crown with Barcaloo
Fun changes last age. Why nerf everything now?
#Plaidovia
Avian Tactician looks like it could be bloody deadly... to its players....
Age 65 - FreeakStyle - FeyrPlay Alliance Win - Dwarves Stole My Bike
Age 66 - FreeakStyle - #1 Honor & Warring Kingdom - Making FS Great Again
Age 67 - BeastBlood - #1 Honor Human(Prince) - Steve from Walmart
Age 68 - BeastBlood ft OldSchool - #1 Honor Kingdom & Avian - We Are All Feyr
Age 69 - Ancient Spartans - #1 Kingdom in The History of Utopia - Clever Use of Words
Age 70 - Ancient Spartans - #1 Land(25325 acres) & NW Faery - Spartan of Redeeming Qualities
Will post more later...but first thoughts are
Drop orc elites to 11 and undead to 10
Otherwise it will be a repeat of this age where und/orc are the only real viable attacking races for warring kds. Especially considering faery def nerf to 8
Edit: also... Are scientists now a part of overall population? Am I missing the specifics somewhere?

I would go further and take it down to 10 and 9 tbh, a shave to offense wouldn't be such a bad thing all things considered.
I don't understand why nerfing every possible t/m race. Elves lost -def losses, faeries lost 1 def on the elite but heavy attacking races got buffed(the warrior +1 gen)?! smercjd suggestion is fine. It's time to lower -75 losses on und to -50%.
Also why the rogue lost TDs bonus? Better nerf it don't completely remove it from the perso.
My guesses:
New type of attack: Abduct (replaces learn)
Science will be earned by scientist who will live in buildings of specific types [Maybe libraries]
Abduct will capture scientists
Scientists will be same like wizards [libraries <=> guilds and SPA <=> WPA]
Scientists will(maybe... this is a wild guess) have multipliers for various type of effects based on SPA.
Boring as hell so far. If that's actually a -10% pop on halfling they are donezo
Avian losing +1 general is bad, losing more of the already lacking offense is a bigger problem than the ability to send 5 armies, it was already the only attacker who couldn't reach mid->late game T/Ms without running suicidal drafts/builds.
I could probably go with that change if Undeads and Orcs lost 1 off each on their elites, or buff Avian up to 10.
#CanWe-public @utonet
Well Halfling sucks now, that's for sure... no way they can be competitive with -10% pop and one of the weakest elites. Get rid of the population penalty and they're okay, not even great.
Orc and Undead offenses need be to dropped by 1pt each. They're currently way too strong.
Avian pretty meh. Would be better if they gain 1pt offense on their elites and +2pt ospec but lose access to warhorses, that way they're close to their current offense levels but don't need ponies to get there and all that implies.
Dwarf and Human remain non-viable for most kingdoms, and will remain so as long as orc and undead offenses are so overpowering.

Changes are very unbalanced and make very few combinations actually fun.
Races:
Avian - Faster but the loss of a general makes them actually weaker than last age. Only viable pers on avian will be Warrior (as it was this age).
Dwarf - Insignificant buff for specs. Still super weak.
Elf - Removal of its defensive losses removes it as a viable bank/hybrid (with tact). Slight buff to wpa but that's kinda meh. Will now be as squishy as halfers and fae and nothing to make up for it really.
Fae - Already struggled vs heavy attackers and was unplayable in most of the warring tier due to expensive elites - Now even worse with a 11% reduction to their off.
Halfling - Worst race with these changes. -10% population with crappy military. Can't be run as a hybrid nor TM due to low pop and bad defense. Bad attacker too.
Human - Nice buff, makes em very capable banks and turtle attackers. Would be very strong if run as a tact turtle-attacker. Other personalities aren't as viable though.
Orc - As strong as this age, by far best pick for attacker.
Undead - As strong as this age, strong pick for attacker.
Personalities:
Cleric - Kinda meh like this age (but that is personal preference)
Heretic - Very strong personality now especially since Rogue got a huge nerf.
Mystic - Solid
Rogue - Strong, but probably wouldn't run it due to removal of + TDs. Makes AW/Prop too costly to pay off in the long run.
Sage - Dunno what scientists are, so no comment.
Tact/Warrior - Still good
War Hero - Decent if run well.
