Does Orc have to be OP all the time? They have the best initial offence output (as UD will never quite match until later on in a war due to conversions) but are actually susceptible to being hurt more so than usual. Maybe a slight Orc nerf is more of an issue because UD is so strong... maybe knock UD a notch or two then the orc downfalls won't seem so bad.
I like how people assuming t/m's and attackers are always on the same size... you do know that there are generally bigger attackers than TM's and these changes enables big attackers to not only hammer a t/m easier but still make additional hits on attackers for acre intake. As usual spout all of our scenario's that suit our view points... anything can be countered and anyone can be destroyed easy. I find t/m's are easier to drop more than ever... now its even easier (been playing since age 50). It should require effort, not the half assed methods of today.
In the last couple of ages when I did play it was easy to drop 2-3 tms in war and that was with a smaller attacking core and yes "losing" all our attackers didn't result in war losses. Most people are so short sighted on short war win strategies... Don't even get me started on bounce wave tactics and UD ffs....anyways beating a dead horse. I'm done.
