Weak factions? No... :p

[kratos]

Some months ago Eliminator has posted a topic. He has wroten that Romans is a weak faction, but my friend Mytos7ita and me, we' ve made some calculations and it results that they have the best HP of the Megapack and the best armors. Then I think Romans is the best faction.

Could we see these calculations?

Citing source matrial is always good.

These are the results:
Tech: medium HP-970 medium armor-22 leather
Magic: medium HP-1310 medium armor-35 organic
Indian: medium HP-879 medium armor-21 leather
Persian: medium HP-978 medium armor-17 leather
Egypt:medium HP-587 medium armor-17 leather
Norsemem: medium HP-797 medium armor-26 leather
ROMANS: MEDIUM HP-1403 MEDIUM ARMOR-23 METAL

I assume you mean "mean", not "medium"?

However, calculations that take in just HP and armour aren't sufficient for determining strength. There's tons of other factors, including attack strength, attack speed, cost of the unit, time to produce the unit, when the unit is available (early game vs late game), effect of upgrades, move speed (golems are pretty poor for offense, for example), and strategy (some units have to be used very differently; for example, the archmage is powerful but vulnerable, so is best used with stronger units to distract enemies).

I don't think a single mathematical formula can be used to gauge balance.

Excuse me for the errors, I-m italian and i don' t use the translater. Hovewere you can try to do a game. You must go away and let a Romans faction and for example an Egypt faction as strong as Romans and let fight them. I think Romans wins sure.
