Gnome is a slow and steady race that is quite solid. They are unique because their elite units have low platinum costs but extremely high ore costs. However, these ore costs cannot be reduced in any way. This means running extremely high amounts of Ore Mines because their defensive elite troops increase in power based on mountain percentage. Gnome is easiest to play as explorer or converter, but the more experienced and daring might also try it as a full round attacking race.
Increases by 1 for every 20% Mountains, maximum +2.
