Utopia - Age 17

[Eli]

I'm back.

This time, as a 100% attacker.

It seems that there were lots and lots of changes in the last couple rounds.

[Eli]

Happiness and elite training can really **** up the game... But it has a certain potential.

Now who should I be? Dwarf? Avian? Orc?

And my forums account was deleted... Bye bye to 800 posts.

[Lemmy]

got a url to the changes?

[Lemmy]

never mind

i think Orc will be interesting, think about it, you only attack with off. specs first, who have no def. value, they get promoted to elites, with 7 offense.
They only give 2 def., but you should already have enough defense from def. specs.

I want to see race specific changes first...then I can search for flaws

hmm, Elves look tempting, so do Orcs, i think fearies are impossible now, if they really make elites that expensive, it would be very dificult to benefit from the 6 defense. You would have to have max arms, all the time, and even then they are expensive, you also got -15% income, and then there is +20% combat losses, so training elites in battle isn't a good option either.

[Eli]

Elf attacker can be really nice. Though I vowed not to be an Elf ever again.

[Lemmy]

well, technically they're not the same elves you would never play again, you could use that for an excuse

For now, elites will be gained from Traditional Marches and Conquest only - not on defense. This is one of those things that could change later in the round.

attacking is getting really attractive now, i think i'll definitely be Orc or Avian..hmm, difficult to choose, Orc can have 8 offense/elite, Avian only 6, but i'll get a better defense for it, but if i train my elites in battle only, then i'll probably have enough defense from def. specs....then there are barracks, 120% of 8 would be 9.6 offense per unit + war bonus etc...

[DinoDoc]

I'm going to be Undead again. Fear the fury of the Scourge.

[DinoDoc]

Does anyone know where I'd be able to find some strategies for the Undead this round?

[Lemmy]

www.utopiatemple.com as usual?
don't know any other sites...

[DinoDoc]

They don't have any strats up yet and I assume that those from the last round are completely useless now due to the extensive changes.

[Traianvs]

hmm looking at the new human elites... i'm going to be a human thief i think... just maybe i'll be an attacker, but i'll be honourhunting in any case, i've chosen the cursed shepherd personality
