This is the right place to talk about things that aren't related to Europe 1805.

Well, since most of my recent posts are could be more classified as discussion (and to help to keep the forum clean), i would like to start the first discussion on this thread.
I have something for underdogs, specially on Europe 1805. On the v1, i even made a Serbian officer. He fought with musket and an axe. Pretty badass, but, sadly, i cant play with the same character for to long. So... i don't have great tales of his testosterone filled and brewery filled manliness to show you.
However, i am planing to make another officer of an underdog faction. This game brought many changes, so maybe the balance of power have changed. With this in mind, i enquire you, gentlemen: Who is theunderest (is this a word?)most under of all dogs on Europe 1805 V2? The faction with the weakest (or least well equipped) army, preferentially infantry (horses are for sissies), or the faction in the most terrible starting state thanks to its neighboors, etc. Just tell me the faction which the only salvation would be the sheer hairy manliness of an officer. MY officer. (or yours. I kinda s*cks at long therm games, so... fell free to tell about your characters, guys)
LOL. In my game, it has been annexed by the Bavarians, again with some help of the Batavians! If you're looking for a badass conquering semi-satelite of France, look no further: The Dutch!Count Roland said:I would say Montenegro... After ca. 30 day It has been annexed by the Ottomans, who had some help from Batavians. Or maybe the Duchy of Warsaw, when it comes to life. They have one single city
Well, in this version the balance of powers aren't much changed since v.1; I would say, Montenegro's soldiers aren't well equipped; They use Russian muskets (some of the worst ever), and their army is primarily infantry-based. Also, their faction is small.RodriguesSting said:Who is theunderest (is this a word?)most under of all dogs on Europe 1805 V2?

Captured Joe said:[...] If you want to be constantly at war, with the other officers most of the time getting beated by everyone, go Bavaria.
They shoot just as good as the Austrians.RodriguesSting said:Well... i started my game as a infantry officer from the Bavarians and i must say that, in less than half hour, i already got a statue on Munich. Seriously... those guys have a lot of strife on their lands. At least, i will have the opportunity to make an officer with a name without the need to wait for the campaigns. It's just a shame that their infantry don't have more evolutions. They didn't had Jaegers? Grenadiers? And... how they are better musketeers than the Austrian ones?
Yeah, the big AI factions have little interest of capturing enemy cities, especially if it's the last center remaining of a faction.Count Roland said:Bavaria stands still with me too. They are at war with half of europe, but no one managed to conquer them so far.
Captured Joe said:1: That... is already so, I beleive?
2: They are more expensive than recruits or regulars, so they should be more valuable to the player. Only rich and rather high-ranking officers can afford them, IMO.
