haha.. Well ok. If they roll out that way then maybe that will work. They'll have their place, but they won't dominate. A lot of today's maps would be vulnerable to this type of unit. I saw a really good example earlier, but one you may recognize would be 'The Broken Skyline'. Imagine flying ranged units. Enhanced Drake can be pretty cool with his range, but w/o the height bonus, not as cool as could be.
Imagine, even at over 100 points a pop, if you got put against one of todays army on The Broken Skyline flying ranged could finish the game easily, even w/ a move of 4.
I'd disagree with the last part. If an overage ranged unit is 2 or 3Attack / 2 or 3 Defense, I'm imagining these with no more than 2 attack, quite possibly only 1, and no more than 5 or 6 range. Probably 2 Defense if I had to guess what would keep them from being broken. That being said, if they were 1 attack 2 defense vs a typical 3 attack 3 defense unit, with the height they still don't have an advantage and they are more than likely expensive. Flying ranged vs. melee, yeah, not much of a matchup on broken skyline, but I'm thinking, they may force you to rethink a few things, they won't be crazy game changin.
