![]() And like the artillery forced second thoughts on MG teams in PME, the ninja forces second thoughts on the artillery in VF. Mortar is a very strong era-defining ability. VF is particularly good at highlighting the fodder problem though: when the fodder units are so bad they're not even plausible. OF benefits from a lot of different units but many of them are also just useless fodder. AF took many revisions including to the FE troops to get to a spot where it doesn't just cower in the face of FE entirely. FE is a 1-unit era (though the 1 unit did change at some point). This might be the last age for a while though where they tried to make every unit at least credible - even if it didn't work out exactly the way it was supposed to where GvG turned into attackers using AAV+7 Rogues against defenders with 8 Assault Tanks to make sure they took some losses The only truly terrible unit is the artillery - which most of its terribleness is the AI uses it wrong It still does neat stuff if handled well. ![]() And 8 Strike Teams works against a lot of stuff too. And at least they're strong enough on their own to be plausible answers.ĬE is only unbalanced because of a few flavors of AI stupidity that show through particularly well in it These days even though AAVs+rogues are still probably the strongest generic army, many CE campers swear by heavies for reliability. Because the artillery put down serious beats on the MG teams and force almost every other unit to enter into the picture of "what might be best" (commandos still kinda suck). PME is probably one of the best balanced ages in the game before boost-proliferation at least. Hover Tanks in FE (post-changes at one time it was the Rail Gun that was too strong! But still always been a kinda-****ty age for balance), Nail Storms in SAAB. It wasn't so cut and dry as "one unit is just better".īut yes, there's some eras that have been stupidly unbalanced where there's a unit lacking a strong counter to it - and they tend to be among the more popular ones unfortunately i.e. ![]() Click to expand.I always liked conscripts - and fasts for that matter - better than heavies for GvG in Progressive (back before runaway boost - now it'd be RFCs probably lol).
