So, only then did the Dragon Witch of the Mountain casually promote Humans to one of the selectable factions for players. But to be honest, she'd had this War Chessboard for hundreds of years already, and she and her friends had played countless matches on it. In all that time, the number of players who actually picked the Human faction could be counted on one hand.
A few self-proclaimed "pros" had wanted to show off their skills, talking big about using the weakest to defeat the strongest, so they deliberately chose Humans. In the end, they all crashed and burned, and brutal reality taught them what "you can't polish a turd" really meant.
When everyone else is flying in on Dragon Riders, what is your little mortal infantry supposed to fight with, their skulls? Just a few Flying Dragons and a few waves of aerial Dragon Breath carpet-bombing are enough to turn the tens of thousands of troops you painstakingly built up into dust and ashes.
