Missions

[Polemists]

So, maybe this was covered before, but I didn't see it.

In Rome, you got missions from Senate. In MTW2 and Kingdoms you got them from Nobles, Pope, Guilds, etc.

In Empire Total War?

Are we getting missions still? From who?



I know some people found missions annoying but I thought it added some purpose. You know, aka, hey you did good sacking gaul, we wanted you to sack gaul, here's a boat :)

This topic hasn't had it's own thread yet, as far as I know.

I think missions will be handed out by the Council of nobles (for a Maonarchy) parliament (For a Constitutional Monarchy) or by the Senate (for a Republic.)

Additional missions might be handed to you by companies such as the East India Trading Company.

I would like to see missions in the game again, possibly with succesful completion netting you money or prestige rather than useless units.

How dare you view the wardog as a useless unit.........I mean they were.....but they were a gift :P

I'm only accepting wardogs in my army if they walk on two legs and can carry a musket! :P

[Polemists]

That is probably a special forces unit


That said, I am hoping for missions, I'd like to see them make sense this time though. Not after a 10 year war with greece I suddenly have to attack some random province in gaul. Etc, etc.

I would like to see missions mandated by public opinion, with loyalty penalties and possible civil war if enough of them are failed.

For instance your PM's tell you that their voters really want to see an improved road system. You get a message to build better roads, you don't and then your cabinet get voted out.

Or let's say you are neighbouring a country the public really hate. They could pester you to go to war, with cash incentives if you do (or a statue in your honor or something like that)

Basically I want the public to actual have an affect on the country, at least in a reppublic or constitutional monarchy.

May I add to that useless and expensive units.

It could be nice to get a high quality special unit however, so long as you don’t need to decommission half a dozen ships to afford it’s upkeep.
