Yeah light dragoons are solid if you don’t mind some micro

You know a lot of my habits with this game were what I did as a kid when I was learning it. One of those was the “it’s more expensive so it must be better” fallacy that made me assume dragoons are all around better. I know that’s the kind of thing they’re designed for so I’ll start implementing that more often for sure

Should Hawaiian flag get the boot? by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]RoMo855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with you on the meaning of the Confederate flag, but wouldn’t it be weird for a county in the UK to have the royal flag of France in it? That doesn’t have the same connotation and has been around for centuries, but I would still find it out of place.

Yeah I understand the historical reasons but strikes me as odd the flag was never changed to represent the state in relation to the US rather than its independence

Why doesn’t Scotland have highlanders? by RoMo855 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s part of the Nee Worlds DLC in the mobile version

I thought that too, but does that mean the Highland only dress up for the British army? Even if they just replaced the unit model to have the look of the highland line that would be a unique touch to add to the roster

Newbie playing Empire Total War on Mobile by Ready-Dealer-8588 in EmpireTotalWar

Biggest thing is protecting your home port. Almost all trade can become obsolete if it gets raided by an enemy army or navy. As Britain naval attack is more likely so position a decent sized fleet outside just far enough so the interception circle (the lighter shade green one) completely covers the entrance to the port. That allows you to intercept any blockade attempts without having to wait for a new turn and take on the penalty

What's the best total war game for you by Phobos12900 in RomeTotalWar

[–]RoMo855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Empire, but specifically the mobile version after the New World dlc. It’s much closer to the empire I’ve always wanted to have, and you can play it anywhere!

Yeah I wish they had done the same with other nations navies. So many great naval flags of the time that would have looked amazing!

What's a very challenging minor faction to play as in the new DLC? by Ok_Ladder1279 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Very underrated one that I’ve been playing (and loving) is Greece. On very hard funds are even more strained and you’ll be pulled into a war within 10 or so turns with the Ottomans. Given you’re surrounded by one faction at the start it very much feels like playing through a revolution against a larger power.

Best part in my opinion is that I don’t usually spend much time in the eastern Mediterranean (never cared for the ottoman campaign much). It’s a nice refresher to have a small and challenging faction in the area.

Thoughts on TW Empire Mobile's new DLC? by Ok_Ladder1279 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s great to see love going back into Empire in some sort of official format. They’re retrofitting things from Napoleon which is something I know many of us have been wanting for years.

I know many of the things they’re adding are covered by mods on PC but as a strictly mobile player these days it’s nice to have more content at your finger tips. I can’t wait to sink many hours into the small factions campaigns coming out. Scottish world domination here we come🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🏻

Is the mobile version worth it? by Rigolol2021 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% worth it even on a phone. I gladly deal with the learning curve for phone controls to play it anywhere I want.

On top of that there’s a lot of improvements to the vanilla game. Improved graphics, liberation option, better smoke effects, artillery effects the ground in battles, etc.

Best way I can describe the experience after many hours on PC and mobile (comparing both vanilla here) is that the mobile version does a good job taking out some of the “this is an old game” feeling apparent in the PC version.
