Just how powerful are those boys? Assume a smallish MP map with a standard assortment of terrains.

They are low-tier. (Bottum 2)
9
9%
They are mid-tier. (Middle 2)
34
36%
They are top-tier. (somewhere in the area of 1st or 2nd best)
28
29%
They are God-Tier (hands down the most powerful faction, blowing away all competitors if used to their maximum potential)
11
12%
I'm not sure. It's a tough call.

We ought to have a Blitz tournament in the near future. Who's in?
Luck was really sick then indeed... but also IIRC I haven't played from begining, but I've took control after someone who left. And without this sick luck I would for sure lost.

And about tournament.... I would prefer charge tournament.. I don't like blitz very much...

I prefer Charge as well; I think it's objectively better.....It's just that I've become sort of bored with playing on it all the time. :P

I'm in! and yes, the king of dragons can usually beat me without luck, but not on blitz! blitz is my battleground!

But charge isn't so nice... it favors drakes a lot more.

Drakes are definitely much more powerful on Charge than they are on Blitz, but it's my opinion that Northerners are actually a bit better (on Charge). Knalgans are also amazing on Charge, at least equal with Drakes, I think.

Indeed. But loyalists and undead are a little on the lower hand on charge, really. So charge favors those three teams more than others.

Drakes on charge can dominate using the correct strategy and going first.
Want to see.. I can show ya? Just ask for me online! :) .

And if any player plays to their factions full potential i think they will win. :P

I think Drake Fighters speed needs to be decreased by one point.

i think drakes are too strong, becouse they have many HP and need low XP to 3. level for example. I have played 2 MP against drakes and they alwayas changed his levelbefore die.

What do u mean ?

For starters, you should stop playing with 30 exp.
8)

70 is the standard for multiplayer games.

The high HP doesn't mean much, because they're easy to hit.

I can't believe this thread has been resurrected again..... :?

I can't believe such threads still excist, What is up with the constant drake bashing? I, the creator of Drakes can't use them properly, so to hell with them being overpowered;


Now ELVES -those- are overpowered.

Remember that funny game we had, with the Flare/White Mage duel?
