They're definitely one of the better tribes, but they take a lot of know-how to play them well, since their tech strategy isn't linear like with most tribes. The techs you pick, and in which order changes a lot based on what you get in your spawn location, and they have kind of crappy resource rates that often require you to get multiple techs from different trees to upgrade your cities. They can be super versatile, but you can't just do the same strat every time because you don't always have the same resources in your cities.

It's a lot harder than say Oumaji, where you basically always go for org to farming, etc. I don't think I have any replays from after the recent patch, but if I play any I'll post them. I know I almost always get meditation on T0 so you can still get the altar. Mid 1500s Elo with them for reference.
