Country-Specific Units

Post by Squirrel5555 »

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? :D

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.

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 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 :D

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