I do not know about Norfleet, but I am disputing
it. I will take Odin against a VQ anyday. VQ is
better against masses of crap, but against SC and
thugs, including a VQ, Odin is significantly
better.

And both ARE brittle against a squad designed and
scripted to take them out.

I think you are missing the point Tuidjy. We are not talking about single battles. We are talking about the war. The war in which the player is defending completely castled dominion. Sure, you are correct, the Odin maybe as strong or even stronger than VQ in single battle against certain opponents. But the thing is every time you are using him you are risking to lose him, or even if you win you are risking to get nasty battle afflictions. Few affliction can easely cripple AllFather. A single death will hurt him a lot, since to be a strong SC he have to rely on several magaic pathes, which he will lose with death.


None of this matter at all to VQ. So she can just keep attacking armies who are trying to storm her fully castled dominion indeffiently, wearing them down or just wiping them out straight away, without any risk to herself.

When/if AllFather dies, his castled dominion defense is shattered. When VQ dies it doesn't mean anything to her. That's why the first case is "brittle", unlike the second case. Do you see what I mean?
