[q] Sure our air played some small part in trying to stop the raids, but that was due to lack of aa with east raiding forces. [/q]

Yes because we all have unlimited ressources... AA is just not cost effective in context. If you don`t bring enough, they will still get killed in enemy-territory (see likho killing gremlins, then getting killed by the other gremlins), reclaim goes to defender, attacker ends up with diminished forces, in the worst case without an army at all. So, you need to be sure to have so much aa that air doesnt even want to attack you in the first place. But at the same time, you still need regular forces to fight on ground. Building that takes so much time that the front is porced up already usually, yes.

There is not. It is a question of gameplay. It`s about this: [q] I get the feelsbad factor of Glaive vs. Magpie. An army of X Glaives just evaporates against X Magpies. [/q] which is understandable since every magpie costs a lot more than a glaive, but there is absolutely no interaction. You cannot dodge, pull back or even shootback. There is not even a point in spreading like you do when a licho appears. The air-player just generates attrition without losing even a single point of health.

Last edit: Listen, it is not that I complain about air being the prime raider-counter in clusterfucks. Swifts do what these magpies did for as long as I play. What I do think tho is that air doesn`t need to be even stronger by having something like odin. But thats too late now anyway, because odin is in game and is probably not doing the surfboard.
