Keep them outside the castle for a minute while your default infantry rushes in then throw them up the ramp, and you can slaughter your opposition. They all carry javelins and are heavily armored.

that seems to keep the conflicts down to a minimum.Įdit: for PoP, Empire egionaires are fantastic assualt troops. Also, pump points into your leadership skills and pursuasion skills. The lower the morale the more likely they are to get pissed. Encounter the Noldor, discover their culture and magic. Read all the stories and meet unique companions. Join one of the numerous knighthood orders or create your own. Full conversion mod in the fantasy setting of Pendor. One item i find helps is to keep your morale up. After a year and more in development, 3.9 is now available. I do well enough until I get to the gunpowder era, then everything starts to slide. Kinda reminds me of my Civilization games too. I usually do ok in the beginning, but once my armies start to get to around 65-ish size, it all starts going downhill from there. I don't get how you guys manage to beat this game.
