Game Balance, or the lack there of.

[Nelson]

I prefer historical accuracy over “fairness”, an that is not compatible with those who are looking for clones.


To my way of thinking units should be portrayed as accurately as possible for each faction and not be standardized for fairness sake.

AMEN! Since Shogun, all I have ever wanted from CA are accurately modeled units. For good or ill, make them reflect reality. The rock, paper, scissors paradigm can frequently lead to bogus unit values.

Some units were good at several things and others poor at everything. Light infantry for example. It was better than line in every respect. Militia was weak across the board. That’s how I want them to play. When overbuilding elite units is to be avoided then a cap needs to be enforced.
