(note - this feature is temporarily inaccessible - I'm working on a fix though) Each army now has its own Versatility rating which you can vote on without registering. These indicate how versatile an army is against the overall field of all possible opponents. This should be useful to competition and other players with an interest in performance. Obviously, these ratings are a matter of particular players' opinion and experience - it's the particular pair-wise match-up and player skill that affect actual outcomes. A jack-of-all-trades "A" army can be beaten by a specialist "B", "C" or "E" that can play to its strengths, and experts can tease amazing performance from armies that seem run-of-the-mill to others.
- A = Good all-round with no nemesis i.e., a good all-round versatile army with no fatal weaknesses against particular opponents.
- B = Strong at least in theme or era i.e., strong in either theme or era, but challenges beyond that mean this army is not eligible for "A" rating.
- C = Competent but uneven i.e., a competent army that might be competitive and might have strengths, but more uneven in versatility than A or B.
- E = Eccentric results due to match-up or terrain i.e., an eccentric performer due to high sensitivity to opposing match-ups or terrain.
- F = This dog won't hunt. Remember that dogs can be lovable creatures, even if they expect to lose routinely (though maybe not always) against players of equal skill with better armies.
- D = Duplicates better list. Duplicate means you can get virtually the same troop type mix in another list that offers additional advantages. Apart from D, this army would also have a usual rating, so an A or B army could also be a D. Go to this army’s page for discussion of better lists.
(If you do vote "D" for any armies, please edit that armies page and include which armies you think are similar but better in the "how to use this army in FoG" section)
