i think humans are too strong! their spell casters in my opinion, are better than shamans (they can moprh em! now how r they gonna blood em? how do u suppose u do this? EZ! use invisibility on several spell casters, move em in, and morph em. The knights are ok if u have all the upgrades, and have inner fire on em. Riflemen are good against air and range. Milita can save your ass a few times early and later in the game. THEY GET UPGRADES TOO! so i upgrade for them too. But i think that humans require good player that can cast polymoprh FAST! u can screw over all but elf economy wit polymorph too. jes morph the peons/acos/peasants, and they have no econ untill the effects run out. I know thats a lot, but humans are the best race. Orc come second, ne and undead tied for 3rd.
