Re: On-line guide for PMTW 1.5
THIS IS THE LIST OF THE FACTIONS AND THEIR UNITS AND BUILDINGS in the mod.
-short glossary-
MERCENARY ARMY - with only a small number of national units, the bulk and the core of the army consists of buildable mercenary units.
NATIONAL ARMY - opposite to the previous one. Sometimes the army has no or very small access to buildable mercenaries, still it can hire tham in inn or any other building allowing that.
HEROES - a number can be very varied, some factions have none or very few, despite my best efforts to add as many as possible. It remains up to you to provide me with more - the proposals might be used in the incoming patch in few months time.
--numbers-- NONE - means noone was added,
- FEW - only 1,2 or 3-4, very small number anyway,
- SEVERAL - around 10 - from 7 to 15,
- DOZENS - above 20, often even 30 or more,
COLONIAL POWER - has access to Colonial House and sometimes to more advanced Colonial Empire structures,
CENTRALISED ADMINISTRATION - has the access to this particular building which acts as border forts in MTW i.e. catch spies and assassins,
DEMOCRACY - gets access to Parliament or similar building ( e.g. Polish Sejm),
ABSOLUTE POWER - can build the Seat of Power or similar structures e.g. French Versailles,
SUPERPOWER - the state is one of the main factions in the era/eras it can easily engage several other factions and defeat them alone. Its armies are rather big and often have numerous units to choose from.
MAJOR POWER - larger factions with numerous units to choose from, can fight and win more than 3 wars at the same time.
MINOR FACTION - small factions with one, two, sometimes three provinces which have problems with survival alone and are generally difficult to play with, but give immense satisfaction when led properly.
GERMAN FACTION - one of german states so has access to the units shared by german factions and can recruit these in german homeland.
ITALIAN FACTION - one of italian states so can recruit italian units in italian homeland.
MERCENARY TITLES - some factions have titles with (M) along their name - these usually do not improve loyalty - they represent the titles of mercenary commanders and will appear only in the Age of Exploration and only with some simple structures so will disappear if the structure is upgraded.
EVOLVING OFFICE TITLES - some states have certain titles added to some structures which if upgraded will will upgrade the titles as well. In game works it as a completely new title so the old one will disappear and the general granted with it will lose it as well. This means that you will gave to give it back or perhaps give it to someone else since its value will be different, usually greater.
(B) - means that the unit is used as bodyguards for the leader and heirs.
