Our race change was not intended to counter any other race. It was a percentage-based weapon and armor tech. As we were teching as humans, and others were as well, our battle reports became increasingly one-sided in terms of losses. I personally have never played Dwarf, and a few of the others had, so we voted and requested the switch. A few days later, the techs were corrected to accurately add the single points.
I’m having a great time playing Dwarf. They feel less clunky than humans. Human knights now have a legitimate short-range power weapon, so if we had stayed, we would likely be in the same position we are now.
We kinda knew they might be changing the technologies as it was a post I made where we were discussing it a lot. We did another vote and still decided to make the change.
