So Whats's new?

and more...

Each page contains:

Unique faction information for choosing a side to play:
1. Campaign objectives (Short and Long)
2. Religion, Culture, or faction specific requirements
3. Faction Strengths (subjectively rated) Kingdoms only
4. Mini map

Important stats for comparing unit strengths and abilities:
1. Recruitment: (Class, Size - normal, Cost, Upkeep)
2. Attack: (Primary with Charge/missile Range, Secondary with Charge) including Damage Types
3. Defence: (Total: Armor + Skill + Shield) including Special Formations
4. Unit Morale and Hit Points

Appendices:
A. Mercenary Units (following each campaign for Kingdoms)
B. Navy and Artillery (revamped)
C. Unit Defence; missiles (range, accuracy); units (speed, mass)


Unit stats are objectively based on the export_descr_unit.txt file for M2TW and the Kingdoms expansion, Update 1.3.
Note that unit animations may influence the stats and cannot be represented or is beyond the scope of the FAUST.
See final page for other data files referenced.
