Make Empire stronger in Version 1.4?

[Bellus88]

Hey is 1.4 going to have stronger Heavy Units for the Empire? There really lacking in that area compared to the Elite Chaos Factions units. Is there even a Unit in the Warhammer lore that can match the Chaos Heavy units? Looks like there gonna need space marines with swords, haha.

[Mikail Mengsk]

Chaos Chosens are probably among the best warriors in the world (lore-wise), it's normal that the Empire doesn't have melee units that can outclass them. Empire armies has to weaken them with artillery/gunfire and charge them with heavy cavalry in order to smash them.

its normal

If I correct , in the war against Chaos of Magnus the Pious . It take 12 Empire soldiers to bring down a Chaos Warrior .
In the campaign , you have to use every type of unit in order to win , not just infantry .
So you must do not test in custom battle like this : one Reikguard vs one Chao Warrior . one Halberd vs one marauder .It not prove anything

By the way , Chaos have strong infantry but they don't have even a bow . How poor they are .

Never forget the Empire's armies are only humans: their intelligence (=combined arms tactics) and engineering skills (=guns and cannons) are their strengths... these chaos warriors are though as hell...

[Saladin]

discipline and unity are the empire strengths, but the empire have more knightly orders, new faction unique units so things like steam tanks. plus if the battle balance seems to be more balanced. Chaos knights and blood dragons still rip your men apart, but knightly orders and greatswords give a better account on the battlefield.

[Timorfeys]

Don't forget also that in 1.4 Empire gets some serious power ups like steam tanks, new variation of dismounted reikguards, new knightly orders and mercs.

[Gondoriangrunt]

well if normal empire soldiers were a match for a chaos warrior i would say that the chaos gods are getting really low standards these days

empire troops as already said use numbers and tactics to defeat tougher foes

[IrishBlood]

hey hey hey! lets not forget these guys!

their easily a match for any smelly chaos barbarian

[Kahvipannu]

Yeah, and BrightWizards pretty much demolishes everything on theyr paths.

[Yuko]

The Empire is strong Enough, those Northern Barbarians shall fall to our Steel, and The Glory of Sigmar.

I would agree only if artillery actually hit the enemy. When I battled Chaos their Hellcannons fell right on mark killing 70-75 men per hit and scaring them all away. Then, my artillery could not hit their cannons and I only killed like 20 marauders... then came close combat clash, boom, all my men run away. Is this the way its supposed to be? Empire needs serious marksmanship....

That's why you use pistoliers and never EVER angage more than one chaos army per battle. Find a good spot deploy send the pistoliers far ahead kill the knights and you win. Simple. 2 units of pistoliers are enough.

[Mikail Mengsk]

I found Dwarven cannons pretty good, while i never get hit by Hellcannons.

[Aibolit]

I think Empire is strong enough.
But once... ONE shot of Chaos Dwarves' Cannon practicaly destroy all the center of my army, and instead of light victory, I got victory with rivers of blood..
It was cool...

[Himster]

Can we make it so all the empire is visible to each individual state?

[Massive_attack]

I actually kind of want the core empire troops weaker (but more numerous) since at the momment i feel they are doing a bit too well against troops on the TT that would just squish them.

Thats just me though. It doesnt bother me much either way, great mod !

I agree with everything just said

[LusitanianRebel]

I would loooove to see the option of having those great empire snipers ...a one-man unit that would only aim at killing generals, captains, banner-holders, and such - the units targetted would lose much morale, and fight much less effectivelly!

[Gondoriangrunt]

that i think might be impossible due to engine.... but who know people have pushed bounderies before
