The Fairies are still new to me. The Fairy's 1 hr. production cycles are annoying. I can't be running back to Elvenar every hr. to pick Sunflowers for them. At least the Dwarves worked for 10 hrs. in the mines to produce Granite, and a day to produce Copper. But you need a lot of land for 12 granite mines (14 is better) and 6 copper foundries. Seen through elven eyes, the Fairies' buildings are much nicer and don't negatively impact the environment.
Also, the Fairies don't require so much land to produce their crops. The max you can effectively use is 5 Day & Night farms, 4 of each is plenty at level 4. If you don't like the Dwarven architecture, and prefer your city be filled with flowers, trees and farms, you'll probably like this new Guest Race. Not too sure yet about their requirements to unlock research. The Dwarves’ requirements were ridiculous!
I love this fairy guest race. Who would think wee little fairies could fight. But they can if they ride into battle on a stinging bumblebee. I kept cringing every time they stung the Vallorian Guards. I know what that feels like. Ouch! Ouch!!
Here’s a challenge for you. Which units to train? All three unit production buildings share one training queue. You only have 5 slots to train humans/elves, wild beasties from the Training Grounds & warrior fairies from the Mercenary Camp. We need more slots to train more troops. It’s not easy keeping Elvenar safe from roaming and dangerous creatures, especially all those different types of Orcs. We even have Faineant Frogs spiting at our troops. That’s disgusting!
