The Fairy dragons are (IMO) too strong in dwiggs (matured fey folk dragon hatchlings). The fairy dragon has entangle strike, pixie dust and MAGIC IMMUNITY (and otherwise stats that are comparable to other level 4 fliers, but you can get them much quicker, of course). A flier with phase, entangle strike and pixie dust in itself (which can be equipped with liquid form and static shield) is probably too strong, but magic immunity (as was the case in upatch 1.4) makes it a game-wrecker, for it can't be melee attacked by ground units (well unless you manage to ram/web/entangle etc. it, but it's immune to double gravity). I suggest double gravity is changed in the same way it was done in the MP mod (give it all forms of attack except physical and magic, only gargoyles will be immune then, because of their res 20). If you don't change DG, remove magic immunity (could have magic protection at gold).
As is there are too few units that can successfully combat these fairy dragons; remember that low level shooters will have to catch them first, which is hard with their movement speed. I also suggest a downgrading of water sphere in the new update, maybe we can discuss how it should be done?
- I was thinking of great hail, for one thing (I do realize you wanted to replace this with chain lighting, but there seems to be objections to this for other reasons). I have the impression that the attack and damage value of great hail is the same in dwiggs as in the normal game (forgive me if I'm wrong though). But most attack spells in dwiggs have lower attack and damage values than in normal (some, like stoning, even have higher casting cost); this being the case, great hail seems to be too strong.
Other than this I'd have to do some research to come up with valid proposals for water sphere, so maybe I'll be back.
Kinda spoils the game if everybody plays fey folk with conqueror and water specialist...
