General Changes

  • Primary race now decides army statistics including elites. Half blood or True blood choices will neither impact elite values nor army statistics.

  • War Horses reduced to 2/0 base 0.6nw
  • Undead, Dark Elf and Gnomes removed. Undeads have been purified by New Year’s Blessing and will be retreating from Utopia for this age. Gnomes allied Halflings and merged the fortunes of their race. Dark Elves have made peace with their Elven brothers and rejoined the Elven Race.
