Return of the Raptor anyone

Has anyone managed to get something from this theme? Aside a different flavor from the main theme, that is. I have yet to see them in a competitive environement (MP)

Nope. I got no real use for them. Made the Raptor sacred so the theme could use blesseffects but I still see no real strength for this faction. I wish the mages would be stronger death mages or that they would have access to something more special like a flying assassin unit.

Nope. I've tried to use the cheap Raptor mages as melee thugs (sorta like Alex's flying chopping Smiths or my own 'death from above' Vanjarls) but with no real success so far. Maybe if they had a second level in either air, earth or death magic that would be doable. As they're now I can't see any real use on the battlefield for them, at least early in the game.

Nope. Caelum is a decent theme that I like, but I cant figure how to play the Raptor-Theme either...

The first game I ever played was with a Return of the Raptors theme. Didn't do so well . . . maybe it is time to try again though!

I hadnt tried it but of course now I have to. While others concentrate on the "strongest" I like to concentrate on the "weakest" to see if I can find some hidden balance and usefulness.
