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.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
