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.

      Tepper got fooled again

      I know it's not of popular opinion but at this time you cannot continue to dwell in & on  the problem any longer.no absolutely not  you have to get in the solution at the end of this season & you must set aside any emotional connection you have with this front office & current coaching staff .for years now & still this team is the worst team in the NFL showing no improvement not by accident you have to  hire a brand new GM put him in  charge of everything football related & i mean literally  everything & then GTFO out of the way as he brings in his own personal hand picked scouting department & hires his own coach & drafts the Qb of the future & most importantly creates an entirely brand new culture in Charlotte or keep what we are currently doing & accepting a different result...just saying

      Sometimes a franchise is just cursed. They’ve looked inept with every coach/gm/roster tepper has put on the field.  You’d think eventually they’d stumble on a good player or coach but nah.

      Pretty much where I am. I've basically reverted back to my pre-Peppers days when I had casual interest in the Panthers as the local team but there was just nothing there to draw me in and truly make me a fan and I was really more of just a general NFL fan watching the best game on at the time. Tepper has stripped away everything I loved about the Panthers. There's just nothing left. Like if you asked me my favorite current player I wouldn't even have an answer. Couldn't name the majority of the position coaches. Hell, probably couldn't name half the roster. I watched the Chiefs and Niners today during our time slot and I'm glad I did.
