V1-V3 The Faustian Reich Fan thread

[Yuko]

post your stragies do you play as a colonial power or move to conquer ibellica? do you get friendly with the pope or you just dont care about him?

for me i conquered most of the north coast of ibellica and then started sending armies to mesocala,the pope is friendly with me just because the only mission he give me is to convert the populace of the settlements.
but when he gives me a crusade i never join.


(all crusades and jihads go to constatium why all the hate to the romans?)

[Pink Beard]

haha lol

idk the pope dislikes romans for sure
in m2 a crusade was rarely called on the byzantiums, more usually on a city in the holy land!

my strategy is to take the cities of the otterbach anschluss (u know, the rebel cities right under your starting position)

i myself don't bother much with the meso landmass... to crowded there i'd better focus my military and economy in trying to get a large chunk in europe
(atleast, that middle land piece. i presume it's called europe or europa because the mercenary textures sais "blablabla hailing from lands in europa )

the Faustian Reich is a cool faction to play, however the Royaume de bon Chevaliers and the Valiente families are always right behind you, ready to take Castle Barbarossa or any other city u own from you... but that's fun.

[Yuko]

i feel like castle barbarossa is untakable i dont know the thing is on top of a hill and is already a castle so i dont think any backstabbing scum will try to take it.

i think the land where the faustian reich begin is called ibellica because every factoin that begins there say thye come from ibellica

In testing it has, in different campagins fallen to the Bon Chevalier, Dracule, even Avalon

i think the land where the faustian reich begin is called ibellica because every factoin that begins there say thye come from ibellica .

yup, to recap
The land mass of the Reich, Tahar, Hispanics, is Ibellica,
Meso landmass is Mesocala,
Teutonic/Bon Chevaliver is Europa,
Gaelics is the Gaelic Isle
Valhalla/Wotan is Norselund

[Yuko]

but to think of it the ai fight its battles in an auto resolve manner against it other then the hill and walls of the castle dont count

[TheFirstONeill]

Ive never actually fought a battle on the isle of Barbarossa, it would be interasting to hear from anyone who has

[Pink Beard]

but to think of it the ai fight its battles in an auto resolve manner against it other then the hill and walls of the castle dont count

the AI auto-resolves any battle it does against another AI. the walls and any other land bonus ( like hills, castles etc. ) are not counted for in autoresolve, thus having a fortress or a village doesn't makes any difference for the AI. for you however it does (granted your manually fighting, not auto-resolving)

[Yuko]

planning on begginning a campaign with any nation just to attack castle barbarossa.

in the first turn.

[TheFirstONeill]

Excellent, take some screenies and post them

[Yuko]

okay

[Graf zu Adler]

The land mass of the Reich, Tahar, Hispanics, is Ibellica,
Meso landmass is Mesocala,
Teutonic/Bon Chevaliver is Europa,
Gaelics is the Gaelic Isle
Valhalla/Wotan is Norselund

The one with the Dracule is Transslavia, right?
What's the names of the two others, that with the Romuli/Pirates/Lao Che and the one with the Crusaders? Crusaders = Syrianna?

[TheFirstONeill]

Crusaders is Syrianna yes, and Dracule is Translavia

You know Im not sure I even named the souuthern continent, I think it should have three names, the Lao Che peninsula should have a name, and the greco part (Troy, athens, sparta) should have a name, and then the middle part

Any suggestions

[Yuko]

true men dont need that a good commander can take the reich to glory!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kaisers Light Rifles

(skins are a modification if Jingle_bombs redcoat skins)

[toluas]

They look a bit very modern... More like napoleonic times. Beautifully crafted, though.

[Argus_]

Very nice, but yeah they are a bit to modern.

I would prefer Faustian Guards.

Cheers Remember these will be very much a high end elite. On a par with the greystoke rifles, Im currently making light rifle unit for them,

Very nice, but yeah they are a bit to modern.

I would prefer Faustian Guards.

In order to make a bigger difference between the Valiente and The Faust, I am try to make Faust a little more modern, and The Valiente slightly less,

The Valiente are to get a full Knights of Santiago roster, so there will be Santiago Sargent Spears, Santiago crossbows, and dismounted knights of santiago

Light Rifles rock!

I would prefer the High End Guards to resemble the Lights more; more Renaissance, less XVIII/XIX century.

[Yuko]

But then you wouldnt be able to tell them apart from the musketeer
And they are rifles, which means they have to be more advanced than standard renn'

Im pleased with the look of them,
