true. If it was 3-4 level ups, I would most likely use it, since it's a badass perk but 7 is way too much imho.

fortress vs stronghold. fortress is defending faction and stronghold is attacking faction if you compare the creatures then fortress would win accordingly, i choosed the best available for each tier.
shieldguard vs goblin trapper- shieldguards are a bit tougher
skirmisher vs centaur nomad- i would say they are equal
whitebearrider vs warmonger- riders are bit tougher than warmongers(better speed)
battlerager vs earth daughter- equal
rune patriarch vs executioners- executioners are a bit stronger but patriarchs have crossfire- equal
thuder thane vs paokai- thunder thane is better almost every way
magma dragon vs untamed cyclops- 1v1 magma dragon would win, magmas are better than untamed cyclops and if you compare runes with warcrys then you see that runes are far more better(especially useful is rune of battle rage especially for thunder thane)

Simplistic analysis, orc power lies in rage, whereas dwarves have runes, comparing units in 1vs1 battle is insignificant.

yes in rage lies orc power, but have you seen what thunder thane can do with rune of battle rage, those creatures can destroy whole armies with that rage and if you add rune of ressurection?+?

Orc is fast enough to avoid rune of battle rage, imo rune of battlerage is only effective againts academy and fortress itself.
Againts factions except those two, rune of beserking is better than battlerage for thunder thane.

You are mistaken, it can do some good damage especially with luck/retribution. And flamelords also shoot fire in multiple directions, there goes the rage.

Well, in my experience, it rarely hit more than two creatures againts a good opponent (ofc using fast faction).
I still prefer beserking rune againts fast faction, though againts academy and fortress, battlerage is very effective.

Only shows the effect but stuns original target only. Same goes for flamewave.

I dont know why you guys arent shocked by possibility of stealing Rune of Dragonfrom, Regeneration and Vampirism by Dragons. I mean... Ive seen a Magma with 84 defense, regenarating and stealing life each turn... It just owned me :x

Magmas can regenerate..? Sounds like a bug. Btw does rune of magic control randomly steal buffs or it may steal more than one?

Only one effect, even if its combined with Battle Rage, Berserk , Firebreath or Crossfire. I have checked the pattern of stealing, is totally random - tested.
As for the drakes, i dont want it to be a bug, its great that there are some ways to trick " nature"

By nature elemental units cannot regenerate you cheater
Edit: Speaking of cheating, if you have regeneration and steal vampirism do they stack? I know they are normally not compatible with each other but then using vampirism on an already puppeted unit doesn't dispel the effect either.

Wow you can have Regeneration on Magmas with Rune of Magic Control
Not to mention, Vampirism and Regeneration can't even work together (right?), but you have both on the Magmas there. Rune of Magic Control defies all nature's laws
EDIT: Does that also mean that when you steal Vampirism, it does not dispel effects like Confusion, Decay, etc?
