I just think TW should stick with hand-to-hand combat eras. You have so many options with your units - spears, swords, axes, pikes, halberds, archers, scout cavalry, heavy cavalry, archer cavalry, different armor types, various artillery - as opposed to - guns and artillery. Each faction fought with a different style. Playing as Turks was very different from playing as Spain, which was very different from playing as England.

They need to redo Rome or Shogun TW imo. But the way they're heading they'll make an WWI trench warfare game. :(

It hasn't been touched because a WWI game would be terrible. It'd just be sitting in a trench all day - get out of the trench - you die - game over.

Pretty much. It'd consist of firing artillery at a series of trenches for four hours (real time) then sending your troops 'over the top' at walking pace to capture said trench. You either get cut to shreds taking the trenches or die in the ensuing counter attack. If you do keep the trench you do it ALL over again on the next set of trenches.

Sounds fun.

The only thing that's pissing me off so far is that the unit packs aren't available on steam yet. I preordered the Imperial Edition on steam so that I'd have access to the Royal Scotts Greys unit and the Heroes of the Napoleonic Era unit pack. But the Elite Regiment unit pack is only available if you purchased a boxed copy and there's nothing on steam yet. Goddamnit.

That's another horrid thing they're starting to do - charge for specific units. I'm supposed to pay $5 for a unit that I might not even like or is the exact same as another unit with only more morale and different art? The TW series is a sinking ship imo.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
