Unit Guide

[Barry Fitzgerald]

A noble effort by the OP, but I have to agree that until the patch is out...and balance issues looked at...maybe a it isnt a great idea!

But fire away...just have a feeling things will change somewhat shortly!

I don't think that a patch will necessarily change the effectiveness of a unit in general. For example, the patch isn't likely to change the fact that zweihanders are excellent infantry, or that Pavise crossbowmen are the best choice for ranged battles as the germans. In a nutshell, I don't think that a patch will completely alter the utility of the units in general.

Similarly, like Katank pointed out, the stats don't always reflect the usefullness of a unit. A review of the unit and it's effectiveness, on the other hand, is most useful for a player that hasn't mastered said faction with said units.

It's not the unit stats that are broken, it's the animations. About an eighth of the units in the game are not fighting properly.

[TheFluff]

Its at a point where its still at least 1 key unit for every faction is broken or in question, or will need to be re-evulated once the units in question are fixed and work correctly.

Also dont forget the key fix of this patch is the chrage feature. This will really effect the SP gameplay enough to effect any guide. Still it think most people who are intrested can defently start up with the non buggy base units and such or general faction fighting guides and such since the faction guides section of .org is lacking open ended stragities and unit overviews and most people just write step by step opneing guides with no mention of mid to late game army compistion and things like that.
