  1. Re: Occupying vs. sacking vs. exterminating in the SSHIP

    Playing SSHIP on very hard/very hard as France I've had to repeatedly exterminate the bigger cities in order to keep control - and this is with a general with a full stack of professional units...

    Re: Favourite Non-Historical/Lore Approach?

    My favourite alternate history playstyle is to play Isengard as pure good.

    I also played Lindon elves as Skyrim High elves, massive racists who want to rule the whole world, and just butchered my...

    I've often wondered why Sauron's bodyguard can't be set to Olog-hai. Not 20 of them or anything, just like, 2 or something. And his battle model kept the same, as Sauron. Wouldn't this solve the...

    It's not just the stats though. Dwarves can churn out their heavy infantry faster than the equivalent units of other factions can be produced.

    You could just rename Northern Dunedain to Kingdom of Arnor if you really wanted.

    Then when you're established and churning out your top tier units, it'll be as if you've reformed Arnor .......
