WTF is the Indian (as in, India) faction doing invading the Bahamas? :bleeding:



I invaded Europe with multiple Indian stacks. Each stack had a mobile customer service office fully staffed with CSR's and a 7-11.

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

Wanted to try 1.5, ended up braking down and buying the Warpath DLC. As with MTW2, the focus on one theater instead of the world seems to have helped the game.
There is lots of flavor in this expansion including a separate technology tree for the indian tribes. What I like most is that you manage your relation to the european settlers through buildings on your resources. If you have a farm, gold mine or such, you can either build your own structure, or build pioneers there for pennies. And in case of farms (dunno about other resources like furs yet), it is MUCH more profitable to let in the white man and do its thing on your fields.
However, drawbacks are that farms spread protestantism and increase unrest, while white-man gold mines increase needs for reforms.

Don't let the whiteman in your country!  It never works out.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hey, you know what would be a great DLC? The Napoleonic Wars. Somebody should suggest that to them.

I never tried a campaign.  I just set play battles.  It has a bunch of new Indian factions though (which are all alike).  I destroyed an entire Prussian army with just Indians.  Only a dozen Prussians escaped.

Wasn't that already fixed? Anyhow, last time I played the re-enforcements came from the right direction.

Are there any good mods for this?  If the price of either this or GTA4 goes down for Christmas, I'm buying it.  My new comp can play it!

Darthmod seems to be the best imo.
