    What;s the best Race for Archer ?

    As a foot archer I would agree with Alvarin, or Veela in specific. It's the fastest move speed in the game and when you add their clade bonuses they are near max potential in terms of how hard their shots hit. So if by archer you mean you want to kite when people try to press you in melee, Veela...

    If Nothing Else, Make Races Good at What They SHOULD Be Good At

    Sidonians are a really interesting one. We won't know 100% for sure until magic patch, but there are some Sidioan builds I've played a bit with (both pureblood and dominant) that feel like they will be pretty good. Still, the applications of a Sidoain seem to be pretty limited. They're high...

    If Nothing Else, Make Races Good at What They SHOULD Be Good At

    Yeah, I was kind of assuming that too. The current system is fairly balanced between clades. Races within a clade (particularly humans) is still really off.

    If Nothing Else, Make Races Good at What They SHOULD Be Good At

    At no point in MOs history have races/clades been done well or even moderately acceptably. As I said I deleted my first character (Tin/Tin/Kal/Kal) within a year or two of the game's release because it was completely non-viable. Now that same character sounds like a fairly usable hybrid if it...

    If Nothing Else, Make Races Good at What They SHOULD Be Good At

    I feel like distinct races are better, but I can't disagree that this would be better than the incredibly limiting system we have now.

    If Nothing Else, Make Races Good at What They SHOULD Be Good At

    Archery is out . The damage is strength based. I'm sure the extra few skillpoints from having a bit more dex will really make Khurites viable MAs.

    If Nothing Else, Make Races Good at What They SHOULD Be Good At

    Nah. If a Mongolian inspired race isn't arguably the best MA and a Roman inspired race aren't arguably the best heavy infantry and you don't see that as a problem worth solving, just delete them. Less confusing to people coming in who we have to explain why they have to delete their Khurite if...

    If Nothing Else, Make Races Good at What They SHOULD Be Good At

    KHURITES Mortal Lore: "The Khurites are among the best riders in the world, and the horse and mammoth play important roles in their culture and society." Historical Basis: The Khurites clearly draw inspiration primarily from the steppe nomads such as the Mongolians and Huns. Such tribes were...

    Small Visual Fix for Helmets

    Can we please make helmets that cover the face disable beards? When you're in say a mercenary helmet, all your hair options should disappear. Hair clipping out of helmets looks INCREDIBLY tacky. If nothing else put a "disable hair clipping" option that makes your hair/beard get disabled whenever...

    Your Favorite Songs

    Total War has some really solid tracks in nearly all their titles. Atilla is still my favorite. It's a really interesting time period. The fall of Rome and the start of the Dark Ages / Medieval period.

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    Ok. Thursars probably shouldn't be viable foot-mages either if we're talking something like a sheevra footmage that's pure dex, con, int and psy. Happy? Fatmage was just an example. Any kind of Thursar mage build that's viable should be some form of hybrid/battlemage because of the heavily...

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    I will continue to discuss fat mages until they are no longer viable. Just because you don't like a role doesn't mean it isn't worthy of discussion. Half the community wouldn't have me discussing taming, domination, or necromancy if that were the case.

    Old Race Art and Lore

    The problem is, when they hand us a blank world and expect us to puzzle it out. Our characters that were born to a certain culture with certain naming conventions don't know what names from our own culture sound like, or have any idea of traditions. One person when naming their Sheevra may make...

    New Player Experience Shaping Up Into a Complete Disaster

    Yes, Alvarin have a lot of options. Kallards have a lot of options. Heurgar have a fair few options. Thursars are a bit more specialized especially if their mounted builds get nerfed but they're very good at what they do. Half the human races are basically restricted to hybrids if they're...

    Aesthetics poll: Old thursars vs new thursars

    Really though. It shouldn't be an either/or thing. Add spots to Thursar customization options. Add more human skins tones. Personally, if I played Thursar I'd like to see a black skin option (Black as in Sheevra black though Sidoian black makes sense too). And make a poopy/not poopy toggle...

    Aesthetics poll: Old thursars vs new thursars

    Wet splotches of poop probably don't help that much. If they don't see you coming, they'll smell you coming!

    Aesthetics poll: Old thursars vs new thursars

    I'm hoping as the character customization expands we might see some options for them that look more like the old ones. Also hoping they have the option to not be covered in poop.

    I have no life.

    I feel like they've recently breathed a lot of life into AoE with HD and then Definitive Edition. There are now far more civs in recent expansions than there were in the original game and conqueror's and a lot of really nice quality of life changes. Like you may have noticed when I posted that...

    What Kind of Behavioral Preferences Are Lurking Around This Hellhole?

    I don't know but professional companies and and colleges have never asked me for my sign. I have been given the MBTI three separate times in professional/educational settings though. I could explain why I agree with their decisions, but other people have already done that and you've ignored it...

    I have no life.

    Whenever you get bored of beta... Prettymuch endless entertainment if you get into the ranked matches. Enough to take on the edge off when you get bored of practicing builds you won't even play come release and spreadsheets.
