Bards are insane!

[Boron]

The bard can also cast his reinvigoration song .

But Man has not much than the bard . LoT is forced to chose rather weird scales with luck 1 + magic 1 forced and the tuathas are basically like vans .
In general i would say LoT is like a weaker vanheim .

Classic Man has expect the bard only capitol only mages and those mages are extremely fragile .

Mans troops are very good though but expect in small games Man has not a too good winning chance cause you can cripple your 2 or 3 neighbors with bards but you won't be able to harm the players farer away soon enough .
Then your research + hoarding abilities are among the worst and you are overwhelmed by someone like abysia or caelum or ctis .

The bards are good but Vanheim has much stronger stealthy armies , Ctis or Ermor could attack quite quickly with lots of banelords , Blood nations with a couple of Blood raiding squads etc. .

Imo man is one of the 5 weakest nations . The only thing that saves them from being classed as low as ulm is that they have a good chance to get AQs .
