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.

Military Units[edit]
| Unit | OP | DP | Platinum | Ore | Special |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Icebeast | 3 | 0 | 300 | 0 | |
| Snow Witch | 0 | 3 | 350 | 25 | Reduces losses in combat |
| FrostMage | 3 | 3* | 965 | 100 | Increases by 1 for every 20% mountains, maximum +3. |
| Ice Elemental | 4* | 2 | 1100 | 0 | Increases by 1 * Raw Wizard Ratio, 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
