[QUOTE="rbingham2000, post: 1997421, member: 12947"] Almost all of the stuff that I have on both discussions (here and on the Wizards boards) have been focused on war. The people on the Wizards boards mentioned archers as a viable anti-flier weapon as well. Shooting down a flying mount from a hundred or so feet up is going to take down both the mount and the rider in one fell swoop -- and pray you're not directly under them when they hit the ground! The land-bound kingdoms will almost certainly want to get an aerial cavalry program going as soon as possible after their first battles with the fliers -- when your enemy has a distinct advantage over you, you have to adapt or die. Also, there was the mention of most of the sky-king's army being peasant conscripts on ground duty, which makes the aforementioned alliance with one of the land-bound kings a definite good idea for our resident evil skyking. I am throwing out the link to the Wizards discussion [URL=http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=5378178]here.[/URL] [/QUOTE]
