Nice idea for polls but why only two options each?
Just trying to get everyone to narrow down their choices to their absolute top. Otherwise the results become a bit diluted and just looks like a big whinge.
I’m surprised that I was the only one who voted for Nidhogg. I thought I had seen a lot of criticism of Nidhogg being too weak, especially compared to Yinglong.
I’m also a little surprised to see Forest Fire so poorly regarded. For a Classical Age god power to damage villagers and buildings, deny a large amount of a player’s resources, and help bypass any walls they may have built up. That’s a huge amount of benefit in one. But I haven’t played around with it much myself, because I normally play Loki as Norse, so I don’t get Freyja as an option.
Yeah, Forest Fire and Walking Woods surprised me; I would have expected more votes for Frost.
Forest Fire can be pretty useful in some situations and it’s just a Classical Age god power.
Unlike Walking Woods which is a Heroic Age one. Technically that’s seems like the stronger version of the same thing but it converts a lot less trees so it’s often useless to make a path.
In maps with a lot of forest a Forest Fire can be used to circumvent enemy defence. But in maps with little Forest like Islands it can be used to deny access to Wood.
Walking Woods deal a lot of crush damage, thus they are good against buildings. Combine it with an attack and you have siege weapons on demand.
In effect it’s kind of a poor man’s Earthquake, but an age earlier.
Yeah it seems most agree that Baldr needs complete overhaul, all his god tech sux to underworld level and he can’t even upgrade his giants. Very shameful for an almost-major God in the Norse Parthenon.
Yea, Baldr really got hte short end of the stick. Ragnarok isnt as strong as it used to be with the pop increase and the value the heroes provide with their pop cost. It takes to long to get the eco back into a decent position. It somehow has less upgrades than other mythic gods and for some reason it excludes jarls from its calv upgrade and gives it only to RC and lack of fire giant upgrade, but i guess those 2 would go in another forum.
