You pick Franks, and if they make enough spearmen vs your early Knights you lose, else you win.Įspecially point 3, I don’t see this game becoming good, microing units is extremely difficult and combat overall feels needlessly complex (if you played AoE2, you know that combat feels by comparison smooth).
The lack of ability to micro units in those 5v5 engagements early on, along with lack of ability to wall (maybe it’s too early to have a wall meta) means it’s basically 1 unit spam vs 1 unit spam… that gets boring VERY fast. I played only 2-3 scenarios, but so far it seems the best part of the game and actually the only one I enjoyed so far (I also played a few skirmishes vs easy AI and a ladder game and both were relatively boring) For example, unit balancing, and clear major issues like Mongol TC drop. Ok so, I bought the game at a discount, and what I wrote in the OP stands, but additions:
