| on ru, there is a war against some amphibians. maybe it will be here too :) |
| Question: Elf didn't have on .ru favorite enemy in the war against Dwarves, would that be rectified here? Otherwise, Elf will be the weakest faction against Dwarves. |

I don't think so. Elves will be the "weakest" faction because of their general troops build, like in all 3vs3 situations, and not because of the unfunctional racial ability. GMBs die too soon, EFKs' speed of six is not enough to deal any damage before getting killed (even with tactics), unicorns are so-so (not bad generally, but no outstanding attributes) and finally, nobody in his/her right mind brings sprites into a 3vs3. Treefolks are of great tactical importance (but unfortunately because of their low ini, by the time they get their turn, the battle is either lost or won...), and anchorites are great but not enough to make up for the other troops' deficiencies.
However, the fact that they won't do too much damage doesn't mean they will be useless. With mass spells elves make great support characters and can greatly contribute to their teams' victory. And with the announced "exp sharing" supporters can get the same rewards as damage dealers!
Also, if the announced faction balancing comes before the event, things will change (at least for levels 10-11). (Just to illustrate my point: on .ru a lvl 12 elf finished with 20/20 victories in the last minor tournament... :) |

Hmm... As far as I know, the faction balancing are for level 12 upward. I hope there will be a faction balancing also at lower levels (10 and 11).
Well, different factions have different specific characteristics. Elf has favorite enemy. Isn't it correct to be under the same conditions with all the rest? I mean, Necromancer won't have less skeletal bowmen, Knight won't have less troops, Dark Elf will have magic piercing while the Barbarian will have magic resistance, Demon will gate and Wizard will make use of mini-arts. Why Elf should be the only faction which cannot use its advantage? Yes, I know that Elf is weak in 3vs3 because everybody is killing Elf from the beginning and 3vs1 is not quite fair. And I know Elf dies easily, but that is not a reason to be put outside this war by taking the only racial advantage. |

If you take a look at the troop count of lvl 11 elves at .ru, you will definitely notice some difference :) I'm not entirely sure about lvl 10 though, my memory may be cheating me.
However, we are becoming a bit off-topic.
We'll have enough time for whining when the event actually comes :) |
| I am not whining, I am just asking if the justice will be done for Elves. :P |
for CGSMCMLXXV:
We'll have to see when the event comes.
I'm sure your point will be considered. |
Could the faction balancing include a caster for necromancers?
I have tried to take a look at .ru, and for some reason my computer just will not let me. So I have absolutely no idea what they may have that we don't and vice versa.
I'm not complaining, but I'm curious why necromancer is the only faction that does not have a caster. |
| war against dwarves eh do you think we will be able to play as dwarves after? |

Yes I do |

so as knights |
| Upgrades of Monk and Lich are casters, but its not because of the balancing mentioned. |

DE? |
So you two think that whoever doesn't have a Lightning is not a caster?
Have you ever seen what Mass Chastise spell can do? Mass poison with proper talents and spell power? |
I remember the war against gnomes on .ru.
elves there were without the fractional ability, there were requests to return it, but never they came to an end with success. When new units the sworn enemy on them were entered did not work at once.
Despite that elves killed the first (in fights against gnomes), they gave enormous support to allies. Many elves began to specialise in those fights on holy magic for casting on allied armies. Have not bad proved necros, dark elves and barbarians. However knights were the best on that war. Also it is the fact. They were capable to overcome gnomes of soldiers provided that the command has destroyed gnomes of magicians of chaos. I do not know that will be on our war against gnomes, but on .ru there was an accurate percent of victories of 40-45 %. So all fractions and a principle were capable to show worthy resistance, excluding, probably, a case where in one command was 3 elves =) |
