Default Re: Clams overpowered?

Isn't it the Ermorian dominion that's allowing for supercombatanthood the broken thing and not the Vampire Queen herself?

About clams making up for the rest of the water path, compare it to this scenario plucked from Warcraft 3.

"Undead has crappy melee units. The Abomination and Ghoul simply cannot stand up against heavier hitters like Tauren or Huntresses, heck, they get slaughtered by Riflemen, which they're supposed to counter! Because of this, the only viable strategy is mass Crypt Fiends with Obsidian Statue support and it makes up for Ghoul and Abomination crappiness by being uncounterable, whereas the other strategy is countered by EVERYTHING. So Undead, as a race, is balanced"

Of course, this just means that everyone will pick Undead to use Statues and Crypt Fiends and completely neglect all the other units, so they have a force that can beat every enemy without any element of crappiness.

Now, for you who aren't experienced with Warcraft, replace "Undead" with "Water", "Crypt Fiends and Statues" with "Clams" and "Ghouls and Abominations" with "the rest of the water path"

On a side note, only you can prevent forest fires.

Edit: And on another side note, Gargoyles are apparently the new cheese now.

Edit 2: I must look like a rambling moron to anyone who can't figure out what I mean... which is probably around 87% of you. *shrug*
