Return of the Raptors might be the worst theme in the game. It takes a very powerful nation and turns it into one of the worst ones.
It makes the mages weaker and significantly more expensive. The Seraph inexplicitly goes from 100 gold to 140 for the Raptors. True, the Harab Seraph is only 90 gold, but it is nowhere near as good as the regular Seraph. The sacred Harab Elder is not bad at 270 gold, other than the lack of a random and the fact that it is capitol only. Which means there are exactly ZERO random magic schools in the whole theme! They even took away the wonderful, cheap Seraphine! Heck, the Raptors theme cannot even clam hoard very easily. And for compensation? It adds a couple of troops that are not worth buying, the Raptor and the Raven Guard. Big deal.
It is hard to believe that the developers thought this theme was a good thing...

I remember reading a thread long ago in which veteran players analyzed this theme.
They presented some ways to make this theme useful.
Sadly, I don't remember the actual arguments.
