I was playing against some guy the other day in a rated game, and caught him off guard with a large army of slightly upgraded Hippikons early and was winning most of the skirmishes up to Mythic. He managed to hold a strong econmoy due to his prepardness and had been fighting quite well. Then At about 25 minutes while raiding his prime food site he cast Ragnarok. I was all excited cuz I had never played against it before. Those little hero's ripped through my raiding party. Then he beat into my forward base and if it weren't for the extra two settlements I had and all the resources I had I might have lost. But, I was curious as to the purpose of Ragnorak. I mean The only winning situation I would see it in is if you just need a little more kick to finish off an opponent. I'm not saying it's not effective, Those heroes took a chunk out of my armies, but what is it's purpose. I hardly see it used and was suprised because it was quite effective... except for the loss of his economy... but what do all you think about it.

It really is the best god power in the game if used right, in most cases if you are at equal and cast it you can overrun your oppoent, but if used with too little villes or other probles, you will fail.

I'm not sure of the exact stats, but the heroes are basically hersirs on steroids.

And I don't think they are really weak to any type of unit either. I think their base attack is 14. I wonder if Flaming weapons affects them since they're heroes? lol that would suck soooooooo bad.

basically the whole ragnarok seemw underrated to me since b the time you get all those dwarves o gatherers you will be pretty rich then cast ragnarok and attack now since yo gaining favor make some good ol fire giants and more more dwarves you will in the race of economy and of units also flmaing weapons is like bronze works on anything that is human/hero but not MUs
