| Author | Imbalanced Factions? |
|---|
Are the factions imbalanced in any way? Atm I feel Elves a bit too strong. Quick melee troops, decent mid-level shooters. Hit and run Sprites with phantoms. Correct me if I'm wrong. The flaw they have include low defense in low-levels and they are targetted first.
I feel that the implementation of alt-upgrades make them stronger. Better hit and run troop. High defense, hig init walker. The fastest shooter in game (tied with Poisoner and Saboteurs, 12) and unlimited range while ignoring 75% def. A fast walker that gets affected by any light magic spells (Unicorn alt-upgrade). The highest attack troop in-game (Treefolk alt-upgrade). The best dragon in-game. I know alt-upgrades arent implemented yet. But their upgrades are already extremely good, ignore the Throne Battle results pls. They are very good in their army and not good when they're alone.
The proof that they are very good? Look at the percentage at the ranking page. You want another one? They are always the first to leave the battlefield. |

Don't tell me, "If you cant beat them, join them." I have one in .ru and its pretty strong and good to play. A bit too good. |
| The factions become more balanced at higher levels |
| The factions are very balanced even in lower levels. Dark elves, knights and necros for example didnt have problems at level 5. |
| 4 actualy DE at lvl 5 is very bad. :) |
I think mid level elfs ( 8-9-10 ) arent very good at group battles.
GBM die in few moves and troops are his troops are very weak due to low HP.
From level 11 and up with Treefolks or dragons I dont know , but in middle levels for a Mixed Tournaments I dont think they are good at all. |
Oops, I've mistaken Ranger's init. Ignore that line pls.

Balance is different for each level and in case of GB for each combination of factions too. A player's task shouldn't be thinking about whether it is balanced ot not, but doing his best in the battlefield. There is always a new interesting strategy you can develop, if you are creative enough.
By the way, at lvl 11 I kill elf in duel easily, while dealing with necro means almost certain defeat. |
The alt-grades aren't gonna come like that on this server. If they come, we don't get any new troops, we just lose the old ones.
And by the way, elves are very fragile faction to play. I've played as Magic-DE from lv8 and no elf has beaten me. Empowered Lightning kills sometimes nearly 1/2 from their efk and poisoners easily deal elven bowmen out. Then just press defend and they can do nearly nothing...
Alt. grades are overpowered on all factions, just think Knight with his 2x hitting ''Guardians'' and no-Range-Penalty ''xbows''... |
