So what do humans have that gives them the advantage? By the sounds of it all it takes is a couple eagles and animals win you feel?Also are we doing free form or are you going to GM while you play?

Humans are larger then a lot of animals and are far more numerous then the animals that are of decent size. The bigger animals such as the elephant are all well and good other then the fact that they are not the type that can develop hands, needing to walk on four legs, so they had to fight against a bunch of archers, javelins, and the like and all they could do is try to charge into them. Plus a lot of those species are getting endangered in numbers even before the war started and humans are now encouraged to slaughter any they find, making their population dwindle even worse. Smaller animals like the insects outnumber humans greatly, but each human is like a one man army against them. The grasshopper commander is super talented, but she's a rarity. Most of them get killed on their first mission, crushed under some boot or swatted away before they can get close enough with their tiny weaponry. A couple eagles get sent in and they'll be slaughtered by arrows.

I'll gm but you guys can also actively participate in deciding where the plot will be headed.
