Could someone explain this to me, why are there suddenly more archers?
At the start of any round of strat archers are king.
Shields are garbage, horses are rouncies, Armour is non-existent.
People are respecing now for the coming awakening of the S4.
If BRD can field 30 archers per battle, that is a distinct advantage.
Now would be the time for chadz to announce he is allowing STF alts to play in strat battles, now would be the time
Why you ask STF alts? Simple they gain no XP and there fore it would be a serious choice to make. Gain XP on the main or play a key roll in the battle...
Personally I think it would actually be a good idea because it would allow commanders to be more strategic, they would have a far better idea of what they are bring to the field if they have 5-10 guys willing to use their STF for the battle and respec to what is needed. It is however aboozable, but not that badly.
