actually, i think the draconians need this "design flaw". Their firebreath isnt that great, they dont recruit any wonderfull units, yes they gain mana with population.... their only benefit is flying, mostly. I'd rather cast fly on 9 warlocks and blast my enemy with doombolt. Ofcourse that doesnt help against paladins since they are pretty much immune to that, and if they have fly and invulnerability.... well, i hope you get my point. Anyway, the flying defence is only usefull when you play some of the easier settings and earlier in the game. Later on your enemy, even if its a random, WILL bring flying, gaze or breath weapons and those have the regular results. Defending against a couple of air elementals, when you counted on winning by being airial, is tough. Other side of the coin no? its not a win-all strategy what i mentioned, just a minor boon
