When adopting, the race of the candidate is very important. The best race should only be picked for the job.
But which race is the best?
I hope in this thread we can collaborate to determine which is the super race for each faction. That way in whatever campaign I play I can guarantee I will only get honest clean-shaven hard working family members, and not club-footed Claudians, seditious Sogdians and drunken Macedonians.
Each ethnicity trait seems to have both pros and cons.
The Basques. The only pre-Indo-European language surviving in Europe.
Not sure if they're in EB though :P
The Talladega Knights

Ah...Yes! The super race thread...Lovely!:dizzy2:
And what about the Romani gens? Most of the patrician families seem to have the same pro/cons except for the obvious booby family, gens Claudia (club-footed, hated by the common people).
Spartiatai es aei!!!
...The Zerg. They always rock.
Oh, sorry, wrong game.
The Night Elves, I should think.
Clan Daeva.
Sorry, wrong game again.
ZOMG nuub!!!1! Orcs are 1337 pwn4g3 and eat elves for breakfast.Quote:

Hey guys, aren't we getting just a LITTLE off-topic with your WoW-talk?
When I have to marry one daughter or to adopt some general I usually consider his race trait to accept or reject the candidate.
For example, if I play a greek/roman faction I will not marry my daughter with one man that they would consider barbarian. But maybe I will adopt one barbarian to put it like a governor of a barbarian city recently conquered. But he will never be my faction heir.
Night Elves for Elune!!!!!!!!!! :oops:
Besides them... hmmm Lusotannan of course...:P :smash:
In my experience, plebeian Claudii are pretty good in the game.
Every man is the architect of his own fortune. As one Claudius said.
I may be coming across as a bit of a Claudii fanboy here, but dismissing an ethnicity because they are imperious seems a bit dumb when you are building an empire.
The Macedonians have a good track record too.
The Gens Claudia was not plebeian, but patrician.
They remonted to one sabin Atta Clauso Regillense that went to Rome in the early days of the city.
Scordiscii, for the Getai
There were a few plebeian branches that are historically significant.Quote:

I was however talking about the in-game plebeian Claudians. They often turn out to be very good.

In game terms makedonians commanding nomad armies would be awesome 'cos of the pro cavalry command traits they could get.
phew saved my ass
Probably.
Then I shant
Aryans (northern Indian aryans), or Kryptons
Would be possible if a nomad faction would have settlements in makedonian regions right?Quote:

I still think the four wagon race on friday afternoon is the best.
...okay, sorry.
And the best races are Orcs n Goblins
Protoss ftw. (Mind Control) can't beat that.
You think as I do.Quote:

EDIT: And this isn't WoW talk, this is Warcraft and Starcraft talk. :D
Screw Elune, she can get F-ed by a Kodo.Quote:
