Guides

Is there anywhere where I can find Guides for XGM factions?

[Kara Kolyo]

tried the readme? in the download thread...

[goldendunner]

I was thinking more other peoples oppinions on what to do as each faction.

[Scutarii]

No. But if you post which faction(s) you would like a some guidlines for, I'm sure we could help out.

[goldendunner]

The idea I have is to start an XGM guide section (possibly in the place where "XGM AARs" are ) like there is in the org for all factions, you understand my meaning?
What do you think?

[LosLobos]

it would be cool

[goldendunner]

I don't think I have the privleges for a sub-forum do I?

[Unknown Soldier]

life stinks as a peasant! ;-) You need to ask a moderator for a sub forum e.g. Dime Bag Ho.

[goldendunner]

Thanks, i'll wait a bit until I know that the majority think its worthwile!!

[CaesarVincens]

Well, if you have a forum, you'll have more support.

Also, write up a guide for a faction now, a mod can move when there is a sub-forum.

[goldendunner]

Okikoki, anyone fancy lending a hand. Lots to get through!!

[goldendunner]

I have pm'd DBH. Starting on a few guides, probably tonight. Where possible I will take and credit from other users work.

If you take a look a few pages back, you'll see alot of discussions about factions like the seleucids or carthage. The aar's are actualy your idea implemented - mostly for greece

Kara Kolyo is right in essence. There can be no definitive guide to playing a faction in a Total War game, it all depends on style. Therefore, the AARs, being an expression of style, are guides to a certain way of playing the game.

However, I sincerely doubt that anyone could make an absolute guide for any faction. If everyone followed that guide, this mod would come precariously close to heart stopping boredom.

Cy out.

[goldendunner]

Of course different tactics work for different people. It would not have been a "step by step" guide to playing a faction. Just a place where people can express their opinion so infact it would create a stir of renewed exitement in the mod. You only have to look how popular this is:

The numbers tell the story and do not lie. I don't think it is a "bad" idea, I just don't want to see anyone put that kind of effort into a project, then have their desired fan base give a tenacious "meh".

If you think it'll be worth it for yourself or the community, go for it!

[Krieglord]

You hit the nail on the head there Cymera Goldenrunner I dont think making a sub forum would do much good either.

[goldendunner]

OK np
