So, among the 4 races available to play in Illyriad, which is your favorite and why? Did you choose randomly or put more research and thought into your choice? Did roleplay factor into your decision? Let us know! I bet you can't guess my favorite. ;) Luna ------------- GM Luna | Illyriad Community Manager | community@illyriad.co.uk

| well considering we can only be 2 races, its hard to say which is a favorite unless there's a way we can be the other 2 as well |

I think all the races are awesome and wish I could try every one. Wait ... that sounds sort of dirty. I didn't mean it that way!

| Elves ftw. They may look scrawny but elves are notoriously overpowered in all fantasy genres and games! |

Dwarves. Picked the female because it seemed the world needed more of them. Also, wanted to be different. Elves? PSSSHHH! :) Beau

I chose dwarf cause I like dwarves. I didnt know anything about gameplay mechanics when creating my main account. My alt is an elf because they have the fastest cavalry and, in my opinion, OP archers. They also have fast diplomats. And their cities look nice.

Elves are the best, mainly because they have the fastest units, which means it is impossible to determine where a hostile elven diplomatic mission came from unless the thieved player is also an elf. Also, the elven sentinel is the overall best unit to have in a standing army. ------------- "Semantics are no protection from a 50 Megaton Thermonuclear Stormcrow."-Yggdrassil (June 21, 2011 6:48 PM) "SCROLL ya donut!"

When tracking any sort of diplomatic unit (even elven) - networking is your friend. |

Last time I checked - The vast majority of accounts created are Human, with elves a not too ditant second place... dwarves take up around 20% and Orcs less than 10%. I think the figures speak for themselves. Personally I picked Orc on a whim. If I had know anything about the racial characteristics (particularly unit stats - which are arguable the ONLY important racial characteristic [at the moment] - which weren't even available when I created my account) I would certainly have picked elf or human. Having said that - it is nice being a member of a select bunch who do not naturally follow the herd. So long fight the Orcs - may our battles be bloody and glorious - and may we forever remain the characterful minority. |

Well I used to be an elf and enjoyed the speed of elven units and defence qualities of sentinels until I got a knock on the head and ended up in someone's cooking pot. Now Braggie says... me kommin back! ME KOMMIN BACK! WAAAAAAGGGHHH! |
