Default Re: lategame balance . are my concerns true ?

i thought caine you meant you would simply berserk on me in every future game then and would be content if you had only killed me and are shortly after killed by someone else.


but as you describe you would act it is fine and not what i meant . i would do the same
of course i don't do only vampire hordes but different things too .
it is just whenever i can get some clams / vampires i hoard them knowing that they are good .


if i play e.g. abysia i plan on vampires or soul contracts and stock my blood . if i notice that someone wants to attack me early then of course i do summon devils e.g. and not wait until he kills me .

i just still think that vampires with all their special abilities and their cheapness are a bit too strong .

if someone masses storm demons you just counter by a few lighning immune summons / scs .
same with other examples .


but vampires come again and again which makes them the perfect defensive weapon and once you win the dominionwar or you get so many allysummons that they become disposible too they are even perfect offensive weapons .

so i can use 50% of my resources on vampires and 50% on other things for offense and send all offensive weapons knowing that the vampires are most probably enough to defeat anything which attacks me anyways at least after a couple of attempts .


if you can only beat a vampire horde by rushing the one trying to use it it is actually a proof that it really seems a bit overpowered . otherwise there would be no need to rush .
vampires are just the ultimative soldier in dominion . totally exposeable but strong enough to win many battles on their own already .



if you can name me one other unit which is an even better allrounder than the vampire and explain why then i will agree that i was wrong .
but otherwise this proofs that i am probably really right .
