^What is the issue in having both a core and an elite shooter? Most H6 factions were like that already, except Haven & Dungeon.
The lack of flyers are more alarming, Haven and Dungeon only have a flyer in the Champion level, Sylvan has two core flyers. Academy is likely to have 4, I guess Necropolis will be the other flyer faction.

I guess fliers are scarce because of the flanking system - too easy to exploit perhaps.

2 shooters per faction has been about average since H3 (a handful of them have even had 3) If a faction has 1 shooter they often have extra mobility to compensate.

Yes. H3 Fortress has an iguana with a bow and then a bunch of swamp monsters that eat at McDonald's 3 times a day, but they're on the far end of the spectrum. 7 out of 9 H3 factions either have 2 or more shooters or good mobility, and I think every faction in H4 and beyond is that way too.

There was also H3 Necro. And H4 Necro, if I'm right.

Yes, Danny, you were the only one who understood me correctly. It will be more interesting if a faction has 1 core shooter only or 2 shooters but in core creatures.
It is boring for all of them to have 1 core and 1 elite except Academy which will have Titans as shooters most probably.

I've seen Titans shooting some kind of energy beam in demo battles, so it's pretty much confirmed at this point.

That's because they're creating a sense of balance as you level up your town. You don't get 2 or 3 shooters at the very beginning as core creatures. You have a core shooter and an elite shooter, and since there's flexibility in the order of building, you can still get 2 shooters fairly quickly (or maybe a different unit if you want, such as a spellcaster or saboteur). You no longer have a distinct tier 1-7, but there are still going to be certain core and elite creature dwellings that are more difficult to purchase early than others.

Who said 2 shooters from the beginning is imbalanced?! They are creating sense of boredom by creating a core and elite shooter in every faction. In the end they will play the same in creeping at least.

+1 for me. The fact tha H6 dungeon had all their shooters at core level made the faction somewhat unique

Not bothering to vote. Don't care for both line-ups. Golems in Dungeon? Unicorns? Vampire Hydras? Minotaurs with no retaliation and preemptive strike?
As bad as Sylvan line-up with elite dancers, Bambi, and Cores that need a specific champion.

No that's not necessarily true. In H6 you'll notice that there are certain core and elite creature dwellings with each faction that are easier to get than others, and you could just buy an elite dwelling while neglecting a core. The core/elite/champion system is somewhat more flexible in that respect so you can have multiple army options for creeping.
Of course, one of the big justified criticisms of H6 in general was that creeping was so much easier. Necro epitomized this to an embarrassing degree but it was easier for every faction. Hopefully H7 will acknowledge this error and return closer to the H3-5 format.

Yeah, all because of stupid resurrection spells, creature and faction abilities.
Every faction got hands on something, regeneration/heal/drain life etc. and every faction had some sort of healer(Sisters/Specters).
And about Necro, well, with Regeneration, Necromancy and Specters healing you could attack a stack of units that would usually be 3x stronger than you and it would be shocking if you lose a few units.
Yeah, embarrassing is great word here.

It was already stated that Necromancy will be Necromancy, not a new iteration of spell "Raise Undead".

Blade up 3% just today. Cheating again? If so, I don't see why people bother, since they'll be counting them over again.

No, go wtf-ing somewhere else. It's been standing still for 5 days, and today in about 6 hours it has gained 3%. I find it hard to believe.
Edit: Oh, look. As we speak, 4% since this morning.

What fascinates me is that people actually think cheating will accomplish something.
Some people just can't be helped.
