Don’t see why the high elf immortal change. That’s what orcish fervor was for I thought?

Am I understanding balrog economic buildings now produce normal production?

These were the old specs , so I want to think yes

The balrog changes are intended to be as Scorpias suggested under age 169 change discussion, for reference. Ie, price of units increased and lowered production removed.

Further refinement of the changes above will be evaluated and considered during and after age 170 (for age 171->).

HE was proposed slightly different, but timerestraints have left a slightly simpler version of it. I suspect HE will be strong still, but now also got a weakness others might use to counter low-defence-high-offence based tactics.

Sorry for the confusion, I have posted half the Balrog traits.
They are ment to keep the 15% homes but they indeed no longer have 50% reduction on citz hold in other buildings.
They production buildings will also now produce normal amount of stuff.


HE:
After reconsidering its too harsh to have all units mortal on def while keeping the same price for elites. Because its too late to give it proper thoughts for balancing we will instead make off specs mortal (to both attack and magic/ops)

*Edit*
Balrog income problem seems to be alleviated. They are still extremely slow, and close to unkillable now with non-homes holding normal amount.

Ravens will go all off spec. Terrible change. Better to reduce elite cost

Their off specs die twice as much on def now.
Anyway I still agree with you that it might still be too crazy of a start so I will bump their price to 200

This Raven change is a huge blunder

Will test it, but at the moment, I agree it will have a way bigger impact than anticipated.

I'll likely have some walls to prepare for trouble.

Let me test it ;)

But it will hurt and cost more. I always play raven and the advantage at the beginning is gone. Way more losses now.

*Adding defense can work out.

Looking over the numbers, raven change will be reverted back to last ages stats and fuction. Sorry about the blunder and confusion.

The change would have easily permit ravens 48k raw off and 21,5k raw def at leaving protection, or simular permutations. It would simply be way too dominating the first 12 hours, possibly longer. We will do better next age and also look for ways that future changes can be abused (in order to prevent it).

Heads up: Raven have now had their offspecs reverted back to 3/0 at 150cr, like last age.
