Vortex Wars

Which race is the best and for what kind of maps?

IMHO:

Biggest maps (200+ regions): Cyborgs for +5 storage or Vamps so you win just a little bit more.
Smallest maps (8-20 regions): Frankensteins as you will simply never get enough regions for your +def% to disappear
Full map start: Undeads. You want to connect as many regions as possible in first turns and boosting every single attack helps a lot.
Medium map + Conqueer + Random: Natives. With random theres a lot potential for 1's defending areas in early game.
HC games: Undeads. HC is imho most strategic setting. You can plan your moves quite well. You don't want some random 8 loosing to 6 destroy it. Boost every attack!
Attrition + Conquer: Something with spawn bonus. My favourites are Arachnids. Reptiles should be as good as well. Insectoids or pumpkins should theoreticaly do the work but I would not recomend them.

Well, here's my take.

Hardcore:

In hardcore you have more than any other gametype the moments where that one region will make the difference between a win or loss. If you win, you are in the match, but if you lose, you are crushed. For this reason you want absolute assurance of your odds in winning a roll. Therefore, Tannenbaums are superior.

Attrition:
As you well know, you can be damaged in attrition, either by losing a roll, or being attacked. So, a great race to use is Natives, as they will make your enemy lose a bit more

Fullmap: Personally I prefer Werewolves, but Undead and Frankensteins are admirable as well.

Watchmen, because they have the coolest looking design.

That isn't part of the question

You lose the bonus completely when you own 50% of the map

Players usually ask which race is best to give a clear picture on which race to purchase , i meerly stated Watchmen can't be bought.

Actually, the question is which is the best, which begs for an explanation, which Ratburntro44 included as to why he chose Watchmen.

You also call me a hypocrite for questioning your post. I did no such thing. I only said that your statement was not related to the question at hand.

Very clear that it's werewolves in the majority of free for all gamemodes, in an 8 player free for all it gives a great start and a decent mid game boost. Tannenbaums in 1vs1 no questions asked.

In which sense is looking cool the best race.My post was revelant as to player asking for a purchase of a new race and you can't buy Watchmen , i know as RoboMajor already PM'd me asking such,to what race he should purchase next.
