ETW Unit Rosters

**Heinz Guderian** · March 04, 2009, 05:43 AM

I was wondering if someone could point me to a link where i could browse units for each faction? Like a small pic of a unit, its name and a short description? I just want to see what you are aiming for (e.g. like in Rome it was Urban Cohorts, or M2TW Jannisaries etc) as well as how the factions vary.

Even a list of units would be cool. Especially Great Britain. I havent got the game yet (no time to play at the mo). I got plenty of rep to give.

Mods - sorry if not cool, if not, do your thang.

EDIT: COURTESY OF VOR: British Infantry

EDIT 2 : COURTESY OF VOR: British Navy

Searching for this too.

I might just buy the game to see if there is a chart included (like the one i got with M1TW showing the units and buildings needed. Ah good days) and play the game next month.

Well I can atleast say that so far I find the indian rooster most interesting. Elephants, bows and arrows! (and some muskets...)

Nothing like that in the Standard Edition.

I'm 5 mins away from a full install. I'll take some screens of the British starting units for you once I'm in.

Too early yet I suppose. If Britain is all you're after, then believe me, they're well represented... i.e. they have no weaknesses and they have the best infantry - better even than Prussia. Hmmm.

Can't say I very pleased about the units, especially the distribution of stats between nations and the lack of variety in all rosters except for the French and British.

For example, I see in the early period they've giving Britain the best 'Line Infantry' by a noticeable margin. They have 15 defence whereas most other countries get 13 - Prussia being the exception with 14. Ahem, weren't Prussian infantry considered better? Were Britain's infantry really the best? Think I'm going to mod Britain down to 13 - the average - and Prussia up to 15, and, perhaps, move France up to 14. Think I'll consult someone who knows more about the relative strengths and weaknesses of the armies first, though.

Appreciate the response, i dont mind any kind of unit roster run down even if its not British. A list of Prussian units would be really cool.

Sorry for the delay, I had troubles finding the folder the images where located in, so I ended up downloading a 3rd party application to do them.

These are the starting units the British can recruit right off the bat in 1700.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I'll upload the starting ships later. I've got the pics but I've not cropped them yet and I'm going out soon.

Not even had chance to play it yet

Once I unlock more when I start playing I'll take some more pictures.

that's defense in melee. From what I seems the brit line infantry 's firearm skill is just average (same as the ottoman infantry in any case) and this is a fire arm heavy game.
