Reinforcing armies

[Intranetusa]

Naturally logistics are one of the most important part of warfare, I just don't want to be forced to micromanage too much. Strategy games aspiring to reach high realism level always have a problem balancing enjoyable gameplay with emulating real warfare. I guess Total War and EB have done the best they could. I have to check out that military settlement mod when it is ready, though.

Logistics makes the game more challenging, since you can't replenish your armies in every city you conquer and go on a steam rolling campaign across Asia and Europe. (which is basically what I did in RTW vanilla) So logistics and micromanaging your troops/reinforcements is actually one of the perks of EB.

" I guess Total War and EB have done the best they could"

RTW vanilla is a fun game with fantasy-bullcrap history.
EB is fun historical game, limited by RTW vanilla's hard coding.



Btw, province-specific training was one of the concerns everyone who is new to EB worries about. Play EB for a month or so and you'll get used to it and appreciate why it's far superior than the RTW vanilla system.
