Re: Bowmen and crossbowmen balance
PostPosted: 11 Feb 2014, 09:09
Actualy I played many games in the nightlies and were unhappy sometimes, because people did like only xbows and axefighters and said that " it´s worse than bowmen+swords. It´s not worth to make xbows"
That was never the idea of that changement! The idea was to bring xbows back to the game BUT also keeping the other soldiers on the battlefield, why we should go back to lances+xbows
In most of those games I did like 10-15 xbows, rest bowmen and swords(some knights also). And actualy I pretty like that new balance of having xbows a "special force against knights and swords(Specialy dancing with knights isn´t going that well for longer time
). However also my current played games aren´t enough to give a solid and prooved feedback here, it´s only my first opinion about the change, that it´s going into the right direction
Thunder lol? The problem is that scouts are "useless"
Sure you can make/trade them, but why someone should do it?
Even on leather locs you see
a.) going for 2 extra swinefarms instead of stables
b.) trading some swords/shields, just to get 2-3 knights
My point was, that in tpr at least the small reason why to make them, is the real function of "scouting" further. However even that isn´t enough to bring them on the battlefield on masses![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I actualy have some ideas of bringing them back into the game, but I think we should stay like the title of the topic says at the "Bowmen crossbowmen balance" and discuss that later on, after this balance is completed![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
