Here's a breakdown of the races, which one is the worst? I mean, the spell casters are irrellivant in a way, they can always be negated (I.E. - dryads, wand of negation, etc.) But powerfull non-the less.

Human - 2 Powerfull siege units (Mortars, tanks), Spell casters (Priests, sorceress)

NE - 2 powerfull air (Chims, Hippos), ranged (Archers, Dryads)units

Orc - 2 powerfull Melee units (Grunt, Tauren), spell casters (Shaman, WD)

Undead - 2 powerfull spell casters (Necros, Banshees), and two powerfull melee (Abominations, Upgraded Ghouls)



I think the humans really get the shaft, I used to think they were really powerfull. I have yet to see a late game where a human uses anything other than, either tanks and mortars or Priests and sorceress'

Knights seem to get crushed, and footmen are rarely upgraded, riflemen are damn expensive. It just seems to me that you can go so many other directions with other races and still win, but with Humans, the only way to win is going with tanks, or sorceress and priests.

Does anyone else think that humans are the weakest race? If you don't think they're the weakest race... then what race do you think is the weakest and why?

to add...
Human- Rifleman (cheap fast good) Footman- Better then Grunt... Lot faster and cheaper for the slight increase in power Gyro great AA
Orc- none to add
NE- Hyppos and archers both suck shit, hyppos are like a slightly better wyvern. Huntress good semi-melee
UD- Frost wyrms, my friend. Gargs great AA


Also whoever said inner firing dryads is an idiot, theyre spell immune friggen shitbrain

NE has a good chance agaisnt human cause of the dryads. Blizzard don't work on them... Sure footmen rip up dryads, but thats why you get some hunts. When I play human i go spk(sorceress,priest,knight). Works great, but get ready for a sore clicker figer.

Also, for your spk add spkr.. riflemen are great backupf ro casters

Humans don't suck, really. None of the races do. Of course, the imbalanced matchups exist and all, but eh. They're ok, really. I just got tired of them, and felt like being a bad guy for a change.

Well, if you think about it, Humans need Gryphs and Knights to decently stay in the game, when Undead use Ghouls and Gargs: much more efficent.

 

[RageWinterchill]

Yeah, it's part of the UD advantage. Their light melee unit is basically a tier 3 melee unit with low HP when Ghoul Frenzy is researched, and it also improves their wood gathering too.

Humans do require later shifting up to heavier units to help stay in the game. Massing casters alone can only do so much.

 

[x42bn6]

I've seen too many Knights and Gryphs in my life.

It makes them kinda weak, but researching Animal War Training will really help.

 

[Sogeking]

actually, now that i think about it, sorceress' SUCK. easiest unit countered in the game. especially if your human.

 

[RageWinterchill]

That's quite funny to read, actually. For the longest time, people said "OMFG THE NECRO SUX CUZ ALL HIS $&#^ CAN BE DISPELLED!!! NECROS R 4 NOOBS!!!" I've never seen the Sorceress get bashed like that.

No offense intended, just an observation.

 

[x42bn6]

Well, not that I think about it thebastardsword is kinda correct. I find Sorc kinda hard to actually wield.

 

[Masta]

I think that the humans are bad when the game starts but gets sightly better as the game continues and when they can get griffens and steam tanks they own

btw also Paladin sux when u start

 

[RageWinterchill]

The Humans aren't that bad at game start. Footmen are not very bad for the early game. None of their counterparts has the 2 armor and decent HP that they have, and Defend further enhances their ability to creep. And with a few upgrades, they can compete quite well with their counterparts. All this for 2 food and 160 gold, 20 more than a Ghoul. This changes when tier 3 is hit though. That's when Footies get owned by Crack Ghouls and Berserker Grunts, or even Moon Glaive Hunts, I think. But still, they're not bad at the beginning.

 

[Sogeking]

like swooper said b4, humans have the capability to be the best race in the game. i think they and the undead are the best in the game. i like this human combo that works pretty nicely.....

footies+knights+priest+gryph+arch

Humans also get off really fast, with a great MK hero which stuns, bashes and transforms. It's a nightmare being rushed early bt a Human player.

 

[Silynt Rage]

I have been playing human a lot lately and I regret starting this thread.... I love being humans now, they absolutely own when played right.

 

[RageWinterchill]

And Undead still own even harder!

*does a happy Undead jig, whatever that looks like*

 

[x42bn6]

It looks like the Ghouls eating corpses. 'course, the Undead never had any major victory in the story (damnit).

 

[havocidal]

lol... as a matter of fact... i still feel that humans are one of the strongest race and has been stronger with every update... except for 1.06 which is right now... pretty much balanced...

the sorceress are one of the most irritating spellcasters and so is AM's blizzard... combine these 2... it can actually rip an army pretty well...

 

[Biske]

Although I am a better UD player, my skills with the Humans are bout even with my skills as an UD. But, saying that, if I were to verse myself, my UD side would most likely beat my Human side by ooo....um...maybe 35% difference give or take.

 

[iamshort]

It dosen't matter to me about which race is better or worse. I just pick random and I always (well, most of the time) win. However, I think that humans do require a really good player. In Fronze Throne, they will probably be better because of all there spell brakers.
