+ | ==== Consequences of Being Small ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Vaettiheim has the most extensive lineup of size 1 troops in the game, and much of their gameplay centers around the fact that they fit six to a square. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This gives higher attack density and overall force density than humans. They will likely stack sizeable harass penalties on their targets. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Because they are small, more units are affected per cast of AoE spells. Combined with Vaettiheim' | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, their high density is a disadvantage when facing enemy area-of-effect attacks, such as ??Thunder Strike??, ??Leech??, and even the attacks from ??Fire Elemental?? | ||
