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.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
