Arm the Mob

**Dreagon** · August 02, 2013, 04:16 PM

So it looks like the peasants/mobs will make their return. Does anybody else want an 'Arm the Mob' tech at the end of the tech tree, making it the most powerful unit in the game?

I can't wait for the football hooligan mod.

The most powerful unit would be a woman scorned.

I can imagine this being more of an improvement to existing garrison mechanism like more men or bonuses to their stats. But how would an armed mob suddenly become a battlefield headache for a veteran army?

They are already OP since apparently you can't take them on with a General and heavy cavalry.

Someone suggested renaming "Easy" to "Al Bickham" Difficulty, which was one of the funniest things I've read on this forum in awhile.

And don't get me wrong, I mean no disrespect. Al is a PR / communications guy and we've never seen him play while actually giving the game his full attention. But some of his maneuvers in the videos have been pretty funny.

Of course, it's a bit of humour, I bet it gets a few laughs at the office.

I'm pretty sure he wanted to display the unit abilities and stuff anyway. Who actually skirmishes anyway?

I can't talk anyway, I'm terrible, just terrible at Total War Games' online. I once deployed my army the wrong way round in a 3v3, much to the chagrin of my teammates. I haven't played online since.
