True. :OQuote:

I would want all dwarves and a few faeries, as I feel mixing in orcs or undeads would cause the orcs to stick out as prime chain targets (a few undeads might be worth mixing in to spread plague though), since they would have the weakest GS/hospitals in the kingdom, making them prime chain targets. So 21-22 dwarfs and 3-4 faeries.Quote:

The warriors/tacticians should be running around 5-6 mod wpa and 24/7 shield. The sages should have around 8 mod wpa, give or take depending on science and raw wpa. They should all have decent protection against fireballs, since faeries will have much lower mod wpa this age, so soldiers shouldn't be much of an issue.
well take a look at simians, not sure of their pers choice but its that dwarf/feary mix so the concept isn't wrong....just situational and science dependent. As far as waring outside the top 10 goes that setup is very beatable if you built your kd right.Quote:

even a non non-sage feary should be sitting on 15 is mod wpa...just destroying the dwarf.Quote:

Of course that is if the faery is larger, but if the faery was smaller then it would be open up to massacres.Quote:

You also have to consider mana. The faeries are likely to fail quite a lot of meteors on these dwarves. They won't have much mana to spare on fireballs.
like i said not gonna argue all the points, but if your dwarf sage isnt sitting at the top nw like the fearies they wont be banking..Quote:

Just saying that the sages would be running more banks than the other dwarves, since warriors and tacts will be amongst the first to be chained, while the sages would be staying higher up untouched longer, and as such would contribute more to the kingdom economy.Quote:

and dwarf/sages can kidnap back on ofcourse easy targets and in war there are mostly 1-2 target of oppertunities where you kidnap with small losses to thieves
