I have played this clan countless times. So much so I have 300 wins and around 600 matches played with them, the dev's do not care even though I have listed concerns and such and tried to reach to them about this clan. So I will post it here ->
The clan is super fun to play, but the issue with this clan is that they can't compete at all with the others
A break down of why that is ->
People and stoves,
Firstly compared to goat, chef's are your ticket to getting the support to start working
Goat gets sheepfold's which free's up villagers, so all those spare people they get makes their economy better then the squirrel clan
A goat if lucky or is a skilled player can get their relic fairly quickly and start supporting fairly quicker then squirrel before the squirrel can start supporting their team mate. Squirrel can't help another team mate without getting 200 fame which works out worse then a goat being able to relic rush. While they do have meals to help scout or smith/mine these meals are not as used much. In team games supports tend to be the ones asked to run the upgraded scouts, again leading to the people issue this clan has
To get upgraded meals the player needs to unlock the lore "Cooking Mastery"
Speaking of the goat, since it can bring more people to a team style game play it does better overall. They can bring a bigger army then the squirrel and at 500 fame every time a goat feasts they can heal their own units and their units do not lack a 20% attack power lore unlike squirrel
"Kitchen Nightmare",
Kitchen Nightmare is a 1 time lore that allows the player to recruit Andhrimnir for free. Sounds good but sadly when your role in things is to be a support and not recruit your strongest hero it's a lore rendered useless later. At best it's a gimmick that does not help the player. In a team game squirrel will not be in need of this. In a single player game a player can use 1-2 units to clear them-self as squirrel
This lore is very problematic at the moment, guides even state to not go for it. Since this lore also replaces a common military lore "Weaponsmith" that increases the attack power of your units by 20% it renders your attack units weaker then any other clan in the game. I get it's a support clan but Goat and Stoat do not have issues replacing this lore with something that logically makes sense
When guides are actively telling you this lore is bad but you are also forced to pick it a little later to spec into the military side of the game, it needs a change of some sort
Relic,
Sadly their own relic is just not helpful at all. It states it gives a periodical production bonuses to a zone that is infected by the relic. What that means though is that the random proc of bonuses you get are random in each zone. To give an example, a wood cutter, hunter, merchant on 1 tile with an infected relic zone will randomly give you a very small amount of either gold, wood or food at a time. Very little at a very long time when the relic Gefun Jar is much better for it and recommended
The 2nd part of their relic states it will cause 1 person of the enemy army to fight their own. Sadly this does not proc too often. Cool idea and I like it but sadly a gimmick that does not help that much at all. Usually I see the 1 insane fighter usually get cut down with ease
Limited options,
Sadly since the squirrel needs to aim for "Cooking Mastery" it fails to be a good support before that and the 200 fame. As of writing this review they also have issues with scouting. Cooking becomes a very costly matter without "Cooking Mastery" and the need to stockpile nearly 600 food roughly (All depending on the villagers of each ally) to cook for your team mates.
Sadly a squirrel has to jump through hoops to get to the supporting aspect in need of 5-6 lores and 200 fame to start supporting. A goat just needs a relic and it's done
The only time a squirrel can attack is if they use up a meal to increase their attack power, but that comes at a cost of food. Arguably the best way to use the increase attack meal is to use it on allies. Sadly this buff is limited to 1 month or 2 months (Each month in game is 1 minute) if you happen to have the resources to do it for 2 months. Goat can time a feast to be tanky and heal while in combat and squirrel themselves do not bring anything, so my advice is to meal your allies attack power
Sadly the lore "Rumour-mongering" is very weak if not a questionable choice to go for. A lore that slowly increases your relations to the neutrals sounds nice, but sadly scouting clans can easily increase their relations the neutrals easier and much faster then a support now. It's also fairly far into the lore tree and away from the support aspect the player has to go for with this clan
Sadly the old way this lore worked of it sending neutrals to your foe was given to snake clan
Torn and beaten,
Having played this clan on it's launch I could tell you that it use to be able to heal but that meal was changed and removed to make the rat clan later on, which if I recall was the next clan that came after this
Rumour-mongering use to allow the squirrel to make neutrals attack enemy clans for you, like giants and other things, now sadly that was given to snake
The clan has slowly had things removed, or nerfed. A few patches ago it had it's allies meal worth only half now too rendering cooking a little less worth it, the clan has since fallen if not hardly used and in some lobbies you may even get kicked from the lobbies if you with to play this clan, I understand balancing over 10 playable factions is hard but this seems a recurring theme
---
All of this comes down to them breaking parts of a clan at times to make something new or change another. Sadly this clan has been changed over time and now can't compete or do much of anything to help compared to goat and stoat who are stronger supports
They don't care about these concerns at all and despite trying to explain these issues even explaining how guides and other things show the problems with this clan they don't want to care, they got their money for those that have bought it a while ago
This message is for those looking at the clan, do not buy it!
I am telling you as a player and an avid support player fan, this clan is not worth it, they do not care about this clan because stoat is the solution which they want to sell, it's better so go for it
