Default Re: Conceptual Balance Series (Mod)

Another balance topic : I've experienced in several PBEMs the power of flying armies - usually Caelum and Demon armies totally dominate strategically any landlubber nation.
The only "counter" to fliers is magic transportation, which is way more expensive.

I think that reducing the strat move of fliers - let's say to 2 at most, and 1 for "heavy" troops, be they SG/IG or Gargoyles - will balance things a little.

After all this can even be rationalized by considering that fliers can't fly all day, they aren't usually birds (except hawks, but these ones are not too powerful lol).
