Lycanthrope is a very fast race to play. The race is built entirely for speed. Whether playing explorer or attacker, the only chance you have of succeeding with this difficult race is to get out of the blocks as fast as you can. Lyc defensive elites are both expensive and inefficient so a large percentage of DP is made up of the cheap defensive specs. The expensiveness of the defensive elite is however somewhat overcome by the OP elite's special ability: convert. On successful invasions, some of the enemy's troops are converted into defensive elites for your army. This is, of course, only for attackers. The greatest problem for Lycs is that their offensive elite has no turtle. Late round, it is very difficult to defend against high OPs and many defensive elites are needed to send out on attacks in order to make artificial turtle.
