    There's a certain fatality coming out of faction guides - that's because IMO most of the time a "winning" strategy is proposed when there are plenty of ways to play a certain campaign and most of the time they are much more fun than the "winning" one.

    I would prefer to read battle AAR's from a faction's campaigns that focus on the tactical side of things rather than telling a story as the ones in the relative section. Screenshots would help a lot in making little examples (and these can be very precise if one has saved the battle and shoots straight out of the replay) of a nice charge, a hard fought melee, an encirclement etc

    Obviously lost battles and battles on the line should be also included and would make great cases of interest IMO.

    In this way one can learn about the use of the units a certain faction offers as units and as a combination.

    PS Did they evacuate you yet from anywhere you stayed Tony?

    Many Thanks

    I agree, Noir. I've been trying to get people to save their battles and make narrated screenshots. The software is free and it is very simple to do. A Tactical Guide would help people enjoy the real nuts and bolts of the game.

    I've been writing on the Byzantine one (cursed computer problems at home have made it hard to get from paper to digital... ) and I think that guides are an ok idea, but the important part (at least on XL) for me is that you are made aware of what units you can get and where and what buildings are required. Some people may find all that random discovery stuff fun, but I'm not one of them...

    Hello,

    A forum for mod strategy guides is added below the Hosted mods for MTW section. https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=238

    Other mods will get their own subforum there, so topics of your interest are easier to find. A similar forum will be made for RTW and M2TW hosted mods.

    Indeed, thank you TosaInu!

    YLC Is there an updated list of who is (or has done) what for this? If the above list is updated, we need some Catholic faction people!
