Re: Companion faction(s) for the Japanese

[Psychedelic_hands]

The maker of this mod has expressed no interest in working on another mod until this one is finished, so let's let the man work, shall we?  If you want to start a new thread about "factions that would be interesting to make", then feel completely free to do so.

Actually...

for the future opposing faction,I'm thinking it might be interesting create Germany at 30-years war period.Its timeline is close to japanese sengoku period,and there are plenty of ubercool units in the Germany at that era!(Pikemen,Musketeer,Cuirassiers,Reiters,Culverins,Mortars...).Of course I'll focus on the current faction for the time being though... .

Sorry, but he kinda did start discussion about it there. But we probably should see how this faction fully turns out first anyway

preussian maybe..

Zulus would be an empty faction since all you could have historically is, hut, fence, impi spearman, worker

hey! it was an idea!

ok then, maybe a Middle Eastern faction? i think they should still go with the guerrilla tactics and speed over strength.

Why did you make my post into a new thread, when it is saying there shouldn't be a new thread? 

And Brenton, a Ottoman Empire faction would be cool!

OK, I guess someone could delete your post and let Gabbe's post be the main one...is that what you want?  :/

yes, Liam, having the Ottoman Empire would be pretty awesome.

we should vote or something, who should be the opponent of Japan and Germany? I vote for a middle eastern faction that relies on speed and quick strikes. also focuses on cavalry (yes, they have infantry and artillery, but their cavalry are the best.) who here agrees with me?

[John.d.h]

we should vote or something

Isn't that really up to whoever wants to make it?

im already doing a mod, so i cant help out (if i did, my mod would never get done....)

Why are we still discussing this when the Japanese faction will still take a lot of time to finish and to be balanced...with also that German faction too...

[Zoythrus]

The Germans should have the best artillery in the game, as well as most of their infantry should be poorly trained gunpowder units.

My thoughts on the ideas are the following, germans should have wonderful infantry, good cavalry and artillery but be very expensive, japanese should be similar to the germans but with weaker infantry/ artillery but better cavalry, also slightly cheaper units, if implemented ottomans should be very cheap other then elite gunners(the jannisaries) and be based on militia like units spamming the enemy, after all that was usually how ottomans won battles, by sheer weight of numbers

ok, here's how it goes:

Germans - fantastic range infantry, amazing artillery, ok cavalry, but most expensive of the three factions (i still think they should have the balloon, even if it was invented a few years afterwards...think gameplay here)

Japanese - greatest melee infantry, range infantry are pretty good, average calvalry, pretty average costs.

Ottomans - everything sucks (except for the Janissary, Elephant artillery, and their cavalry), but have really well priced units and fast build times (perfect for spam)

can we agree on this?

If this is true, the Germans will be really expensive, since Japanese is mostly expensive units...

I believe they didn't use war elephants anymore at the time, at least, not in the ottoman empire
