Are you happy with the current Egyptian units?

[The_Emperor]

Ok following on from Kraxis' comment in the other Poll, I have decided to create a simpler one based on his suggestion.


Quote[/b] ]In reality this poll is not that good. Most here are very well versed in historical matters, and as such feels insulted when a faction isn't correctly portrayed. Meaning they will always want the accurate depiction.

The poll should have been something more like "How much do you mind the Egyptian looks right now?"


Its a simple question with only three possible answers as I can make out...

1. you like the current mix of units, and want to keep them as they are.
2. you don't like them, and would prefer them all to be replaced.
3. you can tolerate them if CA add in some Macedonian/Greek style Phalanx troops to fight alongside them.

Now I realise that some people might tolerate some of the units but not others, so if you select Option 3 you can always post what units you are prepared to tolerate or not if you get given a few Alexander-style Phalanx troops.

With luck this can give us an idea of how much Egypt has offended people, and what units we really have a problem with...

Option 3 here.

The archers, the light cavalry, the chariots (but only because I find them intriguing), the Nubians and possibly the better spears... But without Hellenistic units it is a dead end
Give me phalangites, give me Cleruchs and give me Agema

Btw, I wondered about mking this poll myself, but I was a little uneasy with all the threads about basically the same stuff. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

Add some hellenistic units and I can tolerate (although never play) them. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-curtain.gif

If they decide to do so then they have sold at least one copy more.

Where's the GAH option?

I agree, those units would be my choice as well to keep. I can tolerate them, providing we do get some Hellenistic Units added in to make it a Successor Kingdom.

I got tired of the accusations of us being unreasonable and unhelpful, so I wanted to make something a bit more constructive for the Devs to read.

At least now we can get a rough idea of what people like, and it shouldn't be that hard for CA to add in a few Hellenistic units even at this late stage.

BAH, the coward's way out http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Agreed Rosa, but being a Moderator myself I know the 'Uhh' factor of clogging up a forum with the same stuff, thus I might have been a bit overcareful. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

Anyway, the poll is so far quite interesting:

1: 3 votes
2: 1 vote
3: 3 votes....

I'll judge how bad or good the old Egyptians are by playing them, until then my ass has to wait http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

Option 2, of course.

I second that

[Nelson]

Now if we only had a few thousand voters we would know something. As it is, we got bupkis.

[Monk]

Add in some greek units, i could learn to live with it.

[Nowake]

Option 3 also. But not only phanlax http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

[alman9898]

26-4 in favor some change to Egypt, CA... the community wants accuracy http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Ellesthyan]

Option 2. Mods like the Medmod prove that it is always possible to do better

[RisingSun]

AS long as at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the faction was accurate, I could live with it, but this thread and all others like it are a lost cause. CA doesn't want to listen anymore. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif

I did not care much for Wes' Medmod units. Too many drastic changes between releases and not enough balancing. On the other hand the other aspects of Wes' Medmod are exemplary. The tweaks to the AI build priorities and the changes made to the initial set-ups for each campaign were fantastic.

Hellenic Total War mod is THE mod against which all TW mods must be compared. The HTW team has done a phenomenal job.

[Basileus]

I wanted to vote 2 but 3 will do cause thats better then 1 heh, lets hope cause ive still not lost faith in CA..come on show us that you care http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-help.gif
