Over 1700+ hrs in this game, and it like watching something you love slowly die.
Its fun or was fun. This was my last stab at it. Won't pick it up again, will never buy anything Tale Worlds again.
Watched a lot of Tactical Enlightment videos, great channel on youtube. I came back due to War Sails, thinking maybe they fixed stuff. The last time I played, there were a lot of players choices, designing the army wise. Even looked for mods that let you build the army with pure companies, no such luck. Even just super generic troops, if they share a shield or polearm, it will mix them. And there are no 2 hander criteria for shock troops so they get super mixed too.
Its even more quick fix/dumb downed than before. Its infected every mod I loved to play, Old World, GoT to name of few. I tried them all since War Sails came out. Same problem, no player choice, just random mixing, its like a mixed salad bowl of units. Very sad. Now its this hogg-pogg of everyone gets throwing weapons. And you cannot make a pure unit with their army organizer. You will always have skirmishers in your shield wall company, you will always have a few light armored guys with you heavy armored company, Cav javs with your Cav lancers, short bows mixed with long bows.
It is really sad, it use to be such a great game. Now its this generalized army builder game that gets boring really fast.
Letting the player build and army how they want you would think would be the bread and butter for a game like this.
War Sails is meh, once you have a ship with a ballista fire pot thrower its over, you win.
The stealth game - didn't even try it, if I wanted to play a stealth game I go play Assassins Creed. Not even sure why they would do go that route in a army battle game but :::shuggs::: who knows.
They make a lot of poor choices and take away your choices as a player. But hey, if you cool with generalized units that have no real unit specializations, you might like it...for a while. But when you squares start dying cuz you have no shield units mixed in with your shield company, its gets old fast.
Hope Chronicles Medieval gets it right.
