Re: New Expansion (updated 28 Dec: Stream added)
Concerning bloodlines and such changes in the pair pike-knight, I want to underline a thing.
Let me start with examples.
Assume that the players have already researched bloodlines and pikeman.
- Knights die to 5 hits and kill in 6 hits with no upgrades.
- With only forging for knights, they kill in 5 hits.
- With only scale barding they die in 6 hits.
- Pikes with chain mail die in 7 hits to unupgraded knights.
So, blacksmith upgrades play an important role in this battle. It's one hit more or one hit less. So, if the enemy has forging and scale barding, your pikes need forging and scale mail if they want to be equally effective. If your pikes miss one of them, then you need more pikes.
In any potential modification of either of the two units I would like to see such a situation, where one upgrade matters.
