Country-Specific Units
What are thoughts on adding units that are unique, or have a unigue look from specific countries instead of just based on weapon types. Example in the game are the hussar, hungarian hussar, teutonic knight, spartan hoplite etc.
Would more be welcome or do they not have a place in this game?

Unique look - not enough. But I believe we can always change some stats to make them a little different.
So pretty much any cultural-specific unit is welcomed, but historically famous would probably be faster and more likely implemented.

Re: Country-Specific Units
we should learn from age of empires, theres many different nations but they share most of the units and each nation has a couple unique units.

Re: Country-Specific Units
But we dont have nations in this game, so i was worried adding more unique units would make it look like there was just a random assortment of troops added without much thought
However if you dont see any problem with adding units like this, then thats cool

Re: Country-Specific Units
yet.
Because that's the only logical concept. Any two forces of similar technological advancements and wealth would be almost the same on average. Rarely on the history happened any specialized units, and when they did - they were mostly not really unique (e.g. parthians, turks, avars, early magyars and many more typical steppe cultures all had similar horse archers, mongols were just selected for being deemed the best).Gral.Sturnn wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:15 pm we should learn from age of empires, theres many different nations but they share most of the units and each nation has a couple unique units.
But also taking it from AoK - some cultures, because of style of life, geographical placement, specific technology dependence, etc. had clear advantages - various nation-wide bonuses.

More like nations, cultures or cultural groups.Squirrel5555 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:53 pm Wow, are countries in the plans?

My current ideas are cultural categories, so roman, nordic, celtic, slavic, steppe etc.
