    Default Who likes to use Arcade Style Battles?

    Sometimes if i get bored i like to play custom battles, pick arcade style, pick a unit upgrade the unit alot and fight against hordes of enemies. It's fun to see troops hacking at each other!

    Arcade just means lots of dead enemy generals and annoyingly expensive retraining costs, because the enemy just don't run.

    What does the acarde setting do in the first place? From what I´ve read it switches off all ammo limitations and morale, so units always fight to death. Where´s the sense of using such an option?

    Old School feel? No clue what people play arcade style for. Units also don't get tired.

    I think its the default setting when you buy the game. So Im sure Ive used it once. Never used it again.

    I've considered turning off unit fatigue a few times, if only to get the AI a better chance. The AI is definitely not good at keeping it's troops fresh, often it'll charge them around the battlefield yielding tired or exhausted troops when the units finally engage. I've never gone through with it, however, esp. since it would take away one of the weapons horse-archers have (forcing troops to sit and take the arrow fire, or charge after the horse-archers). Plus, it nullifies "good stamina" virtues of certain unit types.

    But the other switches I leave on realistic settings (ammo limits, morale, etc).

    Don`t think it is. I turned it on once, just to test it, but I`ve never used it in a campaign.

    There I see my father.
    There I see my mother, my sisters and brothers.
    There I see my line of ancestors back to the beginning.
    They call on me and ask me to take my place with them in the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever.
