Some reviews of version 3.1

Post by gentijojo »

Hello,

1. The possibility of strategic movement with foot knights does not seem realistic to me. In version 3.1, I will not allow it for any heavy infantry with very heavy armor.
2. The +1 death roll bonus for cavalry unbalances and destabilizes games. I would only allow it for chivalry, which is rather weak in this game, or even cataphracts.
3. The inspired commander should have +1 when deploying and therefore +2 against a field commander.
4. Terrain placement: the player should be able to choose which half of the game they place their terrain in. Otherwise, no possibility to remove a terrain and the opens should not count in the total of 1 to 5 per player.
5. POA+ for all overlap base.

Thanks

You're playing the game, play it how you prefer.
However there have been a lot of games with these changes and they appear to work very well for game balance, perhaps not your view of history though

putting the arg into argumentative, except for the lists I check where there is no argument!
