Unit Hall of Fame

[Foundation]

Personally, I assume that MI do not exist.  I'd rather get Infantry/Archers/Cavalry and that's it, but alas, there's SF that destroy most other units if well trained and well equipped and lucky. ;)

I got a new unit yesterday :)
Before I always got cavalry, but the amount of hits seems to be very variable. I guess the impact is maximised when no melee combat has started yet, and the cav just charge the ranks?

Too bad the cavalry can't make a circular motion around the enemy, surprising them from behind. I realise that would need some serious tweaking/updating the combat system though :) Another thing: why can't we somehow hide troops in a region? (yes, I'm the king of going off-topic :))

Also, I must agree: archers can be very useful on dwilight :) especially against rogues, as you simply heal most wounded men before the battle of the next turn...

Yep. When one of my char was a marshal of Astrum, I made people get archers and only two people in my army had infantry units. Monsters have low defense so before they even get to infantry units, they just died.

Made them? As in violated the right that every player has to choose their own unit? Or did you simply offer incentives. Cause one of these cases is fine, and the other is very very bad.

I told them to recruit archers if possible. I know I can't order them to do so. I only had 2 active members in the army anyway lol

Which is... still a violation of the IR...

Mmm yes I though it was a violation myself.

[Zakilevo]

Really? I can't recommend unit types even?

The wki is crystal clear on this; When concerning inalienable rights a request from a superior is equivilant to an order.

You might be alright if, during a general report on the army you mention you lack a certain kind of junit type but to say 'it would be nice if you recruited infantry' is like your boss saying 'it would be nice if you send me a progress report' .. it's just a polite order.

[De-Legro]

You could probably also say something like, "I am searching to x volunteers to recruit y units. Gold will be made available to compensate their costs"

[Zakilevo]

Oh never mind then. I told my men archers would be better against monsters then infantry units.

21cs per man, 20cs if you count the Hero char leading them but I think that bonus only counts in battle.

Yes, and it does not lower the CS value. You don't only get a man added, you also get the equivalent CS added.

Interesting, so Heroes are more useful for elite units.

You're only as good as the men you lead, and all. Was that how it went?

That's new to me too. Though I guess 60+1 isn't all that useful :)
