User commentary

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Cove's strategy revolves around offensive powers, with troops having excellent attacking skills and Nix and Nix Warriors acting as tanks.

Pros

  • 2 fast ranged attackers, with very nice specials.
  • Strong and offensive units. (Cove units have the highest attack ratings of all towns creatures.)
  • Only town with access to the powerful cannon.
  • Native terrain is swamp, which makes it hard for other units to traverse.

Cons

  • Fastest creature is Haspid with speed 12.
  • Units and heroes relatively low on defence.
  • Only 2 fragile flying units.
  • Mage Guild is limited to level 4.
