Notes & Tactics
Drake's power serves to annoy and take the edge off enemy armies. Minus 1hp could make the difference between your units being killed by an opposing unit and merely weakened. If there is enough sea around, Drake will rule over everywhere, as his naval units won't be sunk so easily and with enough cruisers he can very much deter airspace users. But as ever, his planes and copters are useless bits of decoration, with only transport copters being worth the construction funds. This means Drake isn't a good choice for maps that rely heavily on aircraft. Avast ye!
