Flying Units

[Sharku]

Ok this thread is two part.

First i would like to know if there will be any other flying units besides Dragons in game. For instance Human Gryphons or something. I think that would make for some awesome arial battles.

Second, from my experience in B4ME (which this game is what we thought it would be) flying units like the Nazgul, the Eagles, and the Dragon were either overpowered in armor and attack or easily killable by archers and heroes. This was made worse by the fact that they had a horrible time turning. How does DoF plan to approach flying units while making them useful but not to over-powered?

maybe a flying unit for each faction

[Sharku]

Yea that would be cool to see some variety like that. Then again it could just be the Dragons advantage over the other factions.

but atleats humans, elvs, orcs might stand up for a fight

[Sharku]

I'm sure the elves will, they've got those ballistas and probably some awesome ranged units. Humans are so-so and Orcs are just sitting ducks.

Wasn't making fun, just stating a fact lol. I guess if they decide to give Ogres rock throw they'd be able to attack better. Really whats gonna hurt more against a dragon, a teansy lil arrow or a big a$$ boulder!

well maybe i like dragons better because THEY BREATH FIRE muggagagagaga

IF dragons were to be the only flying units maybe outher faction should have an dragon hunter archer.

I'd assume Dragons would be the only airborne units, but i'd also assume that ranged units would be highly effective against them.
