Undead and mech are a total curse in this game. They take a unit from viable to trash. Lets be honest, no dwarf wants to even play the game since they lose 5k mithril just for thinking about a duel or hitting a potentially strong wall. Mech walkers are still way better than undead, but the perma death trait is SOOOO FUCKKKKING BAD its not even funny. Moving on to undead, they are unquestionably the worst units in the game by a massive margin. Not only do they get totally fucked by Tiadrin and Priestesses, but they also permanently die and dont even remotely come close to being cheap enough to merit being replaced. As the OP pointed out, one stalker is not even close in strength to one swordsman, but they share the same cap space. The only redeeming factor to undead is that you can get 600k of free wall power from farming rank 13 gold undead during speed clear events. This makes a lich wall a total waste of time if you are trying to actually break the wall, but its a free for all for farming shit loads of honor.

The bottom line is that permanent death on mechs and undead is a completely oppressive mechanic with regards to those units. NOBODY uses undead, and dwarves all live in the misery of not playing any pvp unless they risk losing a massive cost in rare RSS. Just remove this stupid ass trait so players can have more diverse armies without worrying about losing loads of resources.

Mummies and skeletons are garbage. I guess that's why lich is the only race that can have XV level troops on the wall.

The acolytes are also garbage because they die, but they are more useful and necessary than the aforementioned crap

Give Lich units something like "Bloodlust" compared to the moralboost. Some combination between lifesteal and attack-rating. It works the same way moralboost works, just with a Lich specific boost. Remove gazhul undead boost, instead let gazhul boost this bloodlust skill. After this balance the lich vs human units matchup and problem is solved.

There are so many ways other games handle those problems, if devs take a look to the left and the right, they will find many easy answers.

ACTUALLY GOOD IDEAS!
maybe dwarf mechs could get some sort of "Improved function" Skill

Wait, call it "Overdrive"

Just a question - what exactly is the point of lich?

Void - too slow. Timed events - way too slow. Garrison - mostly an endless honor farm. Sieging - too slow, barely punder any resources (no one uses undead. Too weak, too few to "overwhelm by masses", too expensive for units that don't get injured). And with the new scorpions it feels even worse. Compared to any other front line they're just a joke in their current state.

edit: "Gazul" and "Tome". You can figure out what I mean.

Lich is very strong in defense, because you should only research spiders, scorpions and acolytes. The rest is boring. However, now we are all vulnerable because there are many players who have heroes at the 45-50 level.

Absolutely agree. I'm keeping quiet about the attributes that give an incredible power to your army.
