yeah I know, maybe I exaggerate a little about the imbalance, its just sometimes it seems to be so imbalanced that it makes me really angry. But it isn't that bad if you can build up an expansion. thx for your message!
you should try Mortar/gryphon strategy works great vs dumb players morts will take care of dryads in seconds with shards and bears wont know what hit them, however i don't feel hu vs elf is total imbalance unless they go warden :P warden + pendant + ei = gg :P warden/hunt/archer/mercs/glaive on twisted meadow is incredibly hard to beat though
