And I love every improvement or changement so far. Well I am 1 hour into a new campaign but I liked th new stealth system and just looking at the encyclopedia relations seems a bit more complex. Loved also the new small things such as troops shouting down your orders. So far soon cool BUT There is one thing which really suck for me and that is the new light system. I really can't see shit in battles, unless with a sun shining at midday. Other than that impossible to fight in the shadows at dawn or even afternoon. And I can't tell if the ai is better or I simply suck. Please tell me there is a fix to this because battles are just becoming a frustrating nightmare... submitted by /u/Plopita [link] [comments]
I have spent a few afternoons of playtime in the Multiplayer Beta since I received my invitation a few weeks ago and have made a few observations about faction power relative to one another in a multiplayer context.
In Captain mode, for example, it seems that Battania has difficulty when facing off against factions with access to heavily armored infantry and good shields such as Vlandia, Sturgia, and the Empire. Battania vs. Battania matches seem to favor the side with a higher saturation of ranged units, as most of the cavalry and infantry offerings of Battania are poorly armored and have small shields or no shields at all. This makes them vulnerable to all types of ranged fire and contributes to their lack of staying power in melee engagements. In my experience, Battania's elite infantry selection, Oathsworn, get chopped to bits when pitted against the elite infantry of the factions I mentioned earlier. While it's obvious that Battania's strength is its ranged capability, I find that it lacks the tools to go up against the more resilient factions, especially considering that the infantry and cavalry of other factions are better suited to taking and holding the flags that you need to win Captain mode. The Khuzait Khanate also seems to struggle against these matchups.
I'm curious to see how the different factions perform against one another in a singleplayer campaign. I'm sure certain factions will be more effective in certain scenarios like sieges or open-field battles. Perhaps certain factions will more easily acquire and maintain their elite troops to account for their inferiority to the troops of other factions.
How do you feel about faction balance in the multiplayer beta and the implications this has for singleplayer gameplay?
