Icekin is the best example of a converting and/or teching race. Icekin require at least one tech in order to compete when converting due to their elite OP requiring a high WPA. Exploring with Icekin is also a very viable option as their defensive elite is extremely cheap for a potentially very efficient unit. Attacking full round with Icekin is not advised due to the difficulty in keeping a high WPA all round. Icekin are much stronger as a slow attacker rather than a fast attacker.
Racial Bonuses[edit]
- Defensive Power: +5%
- Food Consumption: -50%
- Lumber Production: -10%
- Archmage Cost: -150p
Military Units[edit]
| Unit | OP | DP | Platinum | Ore | Special |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Icebeast | 3 | 0 | 300 | 0 | |
| Snow Witch | 0 | 3 | 350 | 25 | 50% fewer casualties on defense. |
| FrostMage | 3 | 3* | 965 | 100 | Increases defense by 1 for every 20% Mountains, maximum +3. |
| Ice Elemental | 4* | 2 | 1140 | 0 | Offense increased by 1 x raw WPA, maximum +3. |
Casualty Reduction[edit]
Snow Witches reduce casualties depending on what percentage of units at home they are. If 20,000 Snow Witches are at home with 6,000 other units, they will reduce casualties by:
(20000/(20000+6000)) / 2 = 0.384615 38.46% less casualties 100 - 38.46 = 61.54% casualties
General information[edit]
Racial Spell[edit]
Alchemist Frost: Stronger version of Midas Touch (not cumulative) giving +15% platinum production
Pros[edit]
- Cheap DP elites, good flex.
- If attacking, the high wizard ratio required makes Icekin very solid for getting ops on targets, even against Sylvans and DEs
- Can be very efficient late round
Cons[edit]
- Difficult as attacker
- High wizard ratio required for attacking or converting
- Land dependent DP removes strategy variation
