First post here is for the prelim. As it always is, this represents my estimate of the total attacking power each race can put out, with no regard for durability or hybrid capability or econ. While I haven't updated the assumed science levels from the previous ages (last age we didn't know caps, and they are changing again this age, so the old values are about right).

If these hold up, I'm going faery attacker - and if it truly holds over 98% even in the final, I advise anyone unsure to give it a try as well. (The flexibility from all spells is epic.) I'm guessing faery attacker takes a nerf though.
