Just a thread to discuss the units that we'll see in the new game. Discussion can now begin.  |

The general unit types I think.
The infantry unit. Earlier eras will have soldiers with swords than have guys with guns in later eras.
The slow ranged unit. Archers in earlier eras than turn into artillery in later eras.
The strong unit and fast that can attack multiple times per turn. Cavalry in earlier eras than turn into armored cars in later eras.

That's very possible and logical. |

I think that the ships won't change, rather ironclads will be a new unit from industrial era onwards |

Can't forget about the rams and catapults that appear in the trailer.
I think those are anti-fortress/building units. Do more damage to them.

Suppose units become obsolete and you have to buy new units, kinda an upgrade path? It's a way of forcing players to grind or to pay in the game.

Maybe there is a time progression in the game? Days go buy and you forcefully have to adapt by upgrading and buying equipment for dominance. Like in Europa Universalis, Westernize your county.

That would just punish some people who likes to farm at a set level of progression before moving on. I think it's more likely that specific levels will require buying/upgrading new equipment in order to achieve a win (kinda like WC3 and its techs, you need missle tech, air tech, arty tech real bad to win a later era conquest like 1960 or 1970). |

90 different kind of units ~ EW5
by the way,
130 different kind of units ~ EW4
148 different kind of units ~ WC3
70 different kind of units ~ GoG2
29 different kind of units ~ 3kc
I expect that every era has its own units. The amount of units i expect will be like the amount of units in wc3/ew4, but than per era. so 6 times the amount of troops as wc3/ew4.

I think those numbers also include the same unit but with a different skin as well. I don't treat units with different skin but same stats as different kinds of units but apparently easytech does. For WC3 thats at max 22 units if you count fortifications and alien units too. |
