Who's your favorite faction?

[Fisherking]

There are several mods that unlock all factions in all the campaigns, even the emerging factions are playable, so anyone in the game is a go, if you want to mod it.

Just check at TWC in the NTW Released Mods Forum...there were 7 pages last time I looked.

Are mods hard to uninstall? The only reason I ask is because I've heard that ETW can crash if you have an older mod installed that doesn't work with a new patch.

The newest faction unlocker on TWC has its own executable launcher. Check it out.

While this is true, not many are really worth playing due to their rosters. Most of them only have a few units, but a handful have expanded rosters.

Those are: Bavaria, Spain, Sweden, Hessen, Kingdom of Italy, and the Ottomans.

Just something to consider for anyone who wants to try the unlocker mods. I'm sure expansion mods will come a long for a lot of the skimpy factions in the future.

That isn't entirely true. The only factions that have special rosters are the ones that are playable in Multiplayer. Some minor factions have unique uniforms, however, such as Bavaria and Poland.

Well most of the units in the factions I mentioned use generic stats that are shared by most of the minor factions, that's true. But several of them simply have more units than others. Almost all of the minor factions lack guards, most lack light infantry and heavy cav, basic essentials for a balanced army. The one's I listed are ones that have most of the bases covered as opposed to the extremely skimpy factions, even though the unit stats are generic.

And then there's the Kingdom of Italy, which has 4 completely unique units: Velite Grenadiers, Guards of Honour heavy cavalry, Guard Foot Artillery, and Guard Horse Artillery.

France then Prussia then England.

France has great units and plenty of enemies. Prussia is just fun because of its position and it's light infantry. England is also fun because of its position and because of the Navy.

Austria is crippled with the Hungarian recruiting drag and Russia is just too far away =P.

How does Guard Artillery work? Better at melee, or better at shooting? Sounds fun, either way.

Extra accurate, better reload, inspires nearby units, better morale.

Like for the Guard Foot Arty, it's a 12 lber, so compared to the regular 12 lber

Guard arty
Accuracy 55
Reloading Skill 50
Morale 5

Regular 12 lber
Accuracy 35
Reloading Skill 30
Morale 3
