Also your colonial line infantry is better than your domestic line infantry because CA loves to put in racial advantages. Black people and Russians get a bigger charge bonus because they don't understand technology.

I'm trying to imagine a Total War game without racial or cultural advantages. It would probably be worse than your posts.

Total 'Ham takes 'being a piece of poo poo' to levels one could only dream of in Medieval. One general, but Vampire Counts and The Empire can load up an army with gooby as gently caress heroes.

Warhammer doesn't give +10 to dread causing low tier units to route just by entering the generals aura lol that poo poo owned in m2

None of that poo poo compares to Grimgor in any way. He doesn't want them to run.

The choice to modernize or not in FOTS was about the only time you had to make any real choices in the series. I'm not sure how that choice could have been anything other than 'battery of Armstrong guns', but it did actually matter.

there needs to be a two or three turn 'siege' timer for minor settlements. taking them shouldn't cost manpower, rather increase the speed of unit reinforcement. it's a little snipey right now and there's a lot of loving territory on that map to cover.

rolling up to a castle in fots, with a bunch of armstrong guns and naval bombardment is one of the most satisfying gaming experiences. never really loses it's charm either. no way fun for the other guy and not requiring anything resembling tactics, but completely awesome.

simple unit cards are where it's at. dude in silhoutte, plus weapon. I get that 'ham needed to have arty-art everywhere, cuz it's 'ham, but the unit cards are non-distinct as gently caress.

do any of the other imperial generals get unique units? don't remember his actual name, but his title was something like xianglian(?) and could recruit some absolutely baller swords.

also, does anyone know the actual name of the guy I'm talking about? vanguard general, fairly young in the '82 start?

The Doomhammer posted:

Are you running MTU? that adds Gao Shun as a unique with the title Xianzhenying and the ability to recruit his own special swords unit. Can't think of anyone in the base game that description would apply to.

that's the dude, thanks! I was wondering why I couldn't find him anywhere in the files since the swords bordered on reasonable and not run of the mill modgods.

you can also pull off some remarkably stupid poo poo with brettonian peasants and the fey enchantress

maybe not 'doom' but gotta be somewhere near 'woe' at least.

it feels like ca is trying to create infantry pushback through aoe attacks on elite units and hero types. you can roll up a flank with the right units, but that's more knockin'em sideways than back... while also being a bit much.

theatrical and poo poo, but you can't turn a section of the line through mass and the whole thing feels underwhelming even if it looks cool.

imagine thinking imrik or lu bu are smug in a series of games where the fey enchantress exists.

she doesn't even tell people to kneel, just that it's expected of them. lady is ice cold.
