don't know why ppl is so upset about the human ome/warrior personality. we already have it this age. they only made the human ome effective at all times and made the personality ome change depending on war realations. which to me makes more sence.
atm I do play human attacker and oow I feel weak, in war I'm capable to challenge orc and undeads in off.
removing tog how ever will put them in disadvantage compared to orcs free draft and undeads reduced cashualties.
adding -20% gains for an attacking race and no way to counter it, by added gen or some building will suck. bad max gains, and very bad for chain strat. feels like humans will have the means to be competetive opa wise going into war, but with no tog a long war will be fatal, and crap gains will be like having the means to fight but no way to reaping the reward.
I'd like to see maby Lowe BE bonus on dwarves and 5/5 elites- make them into the pure turtlerace they used to be.
and this age I felt birthrates in war is just to low. even with 20% homes and L&P and kidnapps I couldn't recoup from t/m ops. pretty lame that 2 t/m can fb away 30k peasants in an inital fb wave, put MeS, then jsut have to comeback every 12-24hrs and do a few more fb's to make sure you stay down at 3-5k peasants which can't support j-****.
even with all them spells making like 300 peasants per hour with a 100k+ tot pop, MeS killing like 150 per hour and fb's still killing like 300-500 per op when peasant rate is down to 3000 from 35000. so in the later wars as human A, thank god for tog since peasants was down to 3000, with l&p and 20% homes and kidnapps I sometimes managed to get back up to 7000-10000 peasants in 12-16hrs just enought to be able to pay 200% wages again. and then comes 1 t/m again with a few fb's and puts the prov back at 3000 peasants.
it's been way to easy to Control peasants/pop, please increase the overall basic birthrates, I mean for all races-
massacres also been freaky weaird. do they get stronger as war prolongs? why arn't the dmg from massacres nw controlled like all other attacks? we had 2 wars where we after war declaration started with massacres then chains on attackers and opponents doing the opposite. we hit on provs in decent nw range 90-110%, they hit on provs up to 250%. and at the end when looking at the war conclusions with the same ammount of massacres from both sides but at different timestamps in war, they Always killed about 2x more then we did on average.
-20% gains on an attacker race is very very bad, it is true.
I actually do wish the pure attackers had higher offense values so that hybridization could put 6 on an elite and such.
I like what you did with WH. but I bet they do not have time to implement.Quote:

I Think it ould be interresting to see ToG being removed from human as racial and then also faerys.
also merchants could get +10% income aswell as being immune to income penalties and having tog. so they really would get rich and fat and be bank / supporter for sure.
animate dead should stay with undead. Always been for undeads. just like orcs used to have bloodlust. which i Think they should have again.
And on the subject of Human -20% gains with no way to counter? Lies, all lies.
It's called Human Tactician. Add enough Barracks to achieve 8 hour attack time. Add 4 hours to your attack for extra gains. Achieve standard 12 hour attack time with normal gains. Not ideal, but if you want the free science bonus and NW efficiency of being Human... you make some adjustments.

Any chance elf generals could add to def when at home, the same they add to offence when you send them out? Like a built in fanaticism.
I would like to see them with an attacking buff spell like bloodlust or QF to.
Copius has some good change ideas there !
