v6 news and notes

[[GG] Lord Ashram]

Howdy all,

Just wanted to start up a thread for people to post any thoughts/ideas/things they had noticed about v6.

One thing I had noticed was people were upset that they felt Vistula infantry was much weaker now. I would suggest you check out their stats; while they certainly aren't great ATTACKERS, they actually have a defence value that is better than almost any infantry in the game, so if deployed wisely they can be very valuable!

Anyone else have anything to share?

I am absolutely loving light infantry now:) If the enemy buys lights to counter, or effectively uses cavalry, or simply gets his or her line up and firing, then lights are in trouble... but when a general is able to effectively deploy the lights, they can really use them to whittle the enemy down! I think they are great fun to use.

I enjoy the improvement to the light cav myself. Lancers can really cause some damage before they have to be pulled back if used at the right time. The heavies still get knocked around some when taking on a goodly sized infantry unit but when slammed into a waving unit, they cause havoc.

My Lancer's will eat your Lights for breakfast, Ash!

Well, what I like is that the lights are fast, and I can provide cover for them with my own cav... so send your Lancers in and I'll fight them off with my own cav... or maybe I'll just keep my line infantry right near by and shoot your men off their horses:)
