Wow, great, thanks.  I was wondering about this.  Also, Doesn't Resolin get weak troops on top of already being weak ass troops?  Has anyone noticed if this has caused them to be a weak nation overall?

I think this is one area that the devs balanced well and early on. I would like to hear from people that play many factions about how they think things stack up. Is there a faction that is getting screwed?

I think you mean Umber, with the 1/2 unit maintenance trait.

Bump good info

Thanks for the awesome chart

Troops in beta are too raw for any meaningful analysis.

Just comparing stats though i'd say that Dex and Intelligence need a subtle boost. (Int giving dmg resistance to spells, Dodge/Acc reworked)

Evoker is the most game breaking trait in the game. A lv  4 mage hero can reach Max spell Dmg, evoker/Spell cost reduction trait are the only 2 mage abilities worth getting and always will be with current system

Kill/change/nerf it and add Int bonus Damage/Resistance instead

Sounds good, I suppose.

Well, the thing is that Intelligence doesn't seem a 'good enough' choice. And if all it does it make your 'slow' spell more likely to succeed, then I don't blame them.

I don't mind having the evoker traits, I mean they could either be less effective or just do something different, but I think making Int and Dex stronger is a bit more important than keeping all the traits just for the sake of keeping them.

(that being said, I like traits, but new ones can be made and old ones can be destroyed, if necessary)

I don't like the hidden base stats. It is confusing and most people probably won't even notice it. It also cuts down on players ability to create custom factions. Rather all the differences between faction stats should be set by faction traits.

Even Tolkien noted that elves are more dexterous and that hobbits were excellent climbers. Why would races not be significantly different? You can make your own races. The problem is that it is not clear to the newer users. It also seems like they tried to balance the stats, when they should have looked at balancing the effects of those stats. -1 or +.5 to damage is pretty irrelevant. It doesn't need to factor into unit designs at all. I would like to see some more meaningful ability differences.

Where is the race that excels at archers?

Where is the race that excels at crits?

Where is the race that are excellent fighters, but are weak in mind? (Trogs, but they don't show it enough to count.)

The other problem is that these stats are the only difference between races. They need special traits to emphasize their attributes. Factions need special techs and items that add to this. At least one faction should get a special horse. But don't call it Xia's Pony. 

To wrap it up, I agree with Sean that races should have more than just stat-differences ... but abilities and effects as well.

The differences between Vampires, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs are interesting. Some are weak to fire or life magic, others are immune to death magic, and some are resistant to fire magic (as an example).

I suppose some Fallen could be weak to fire and immune to death while others could be resistant to fire. Some could have higher stats and yet be weak to all elements.

Pariden, for instance, could have a race (Amarian?) which has resistances to all the elements yet have weaker stats (for regular combat).

Also, I think you should be able to pick a Sovereign which is of a different race than the Faction he or she is leading.

For instance, a Magnar ruling over humans ... or some such thing.
