this games seems to be garbage. but i really haven't been keeping track and am about to get this game. can some one make a pro/con list or if there's a link to a website that already made a detailed one would be sufficient

Well, this is strictly my opinion below when comparing it to DW6. I'm new to the Empires series, so keep this in mind.

Pros:
-creating your own officer which is a decent feel or touch
-you dictate the flow of things
-more challenging
-play the role of ANY character; faceless warriors included
-start out with all the main characters unlocked
-give your weapon its own special effects of your choosing

Cons:
-horses can't be leveled up once you get them
-game can be a little long (maybe not too bad, in some cases)
-officers constantly reappearing after defeating them

It first I didn't think I was going to like the game, but after finally messin' around with it for several minutes, I was hooked.

I just discovered another minor con, last night. Unfortunately, you can't call for your horse if you get too far from it.

Oh! Maybe it's just me, but it seem that the same direction pad I press to call my horse in DW6 didn't work in DW6E. I will try it again when I get home this evening.

I'm a bit confused about the officer-regurgitation/endless generation thing. In prior DW games, they'd come out 3 or 4 times before being 'captured' (the final time). I've secured all bases and waited in front of main camps to capture CAW characters i've created, defeating them over that amount and still no 'capture'. Yay for experience points, but still no capture.


Others seem to do down after being defeated twice/thrice. :\
Rigged? Trick to it?

i have no clue how to capture for sure, it always seems random to me, usually it means their troops lvls r really low, but idk, koei changed alot in this one...

as for the infintly spawning enemies, even if u capture ALL their bases (including their main camp), enemy officers will continue to return unabated, theres an ability called poison arrow that makes em take a little longer to return (nothin too noticable mind u), but they will never reach a point where they just stop returning, as in previous empires titles, there is no "return limit" if u will...

Pros

• Surprisingly good CAW system, with quite a bit of content and promises of more.
• Weapon upgrade system.
• The inclusion of Xtreme Mode (in a way).
• Pretty menus (hey, they count for somethin', haha).

Cons

• No long term benefits for holding territories.
• Inability to assign (or "station") officers to specific territories.
• No troop control/customization whatsoever (not even cards that hire special units).
• No character portraits for CAWs (this is a bigger deal than it would be if the game's selling point wasn't the CAW mode).
• Unable to turn down officers requesting (demanding?) to join your faction between battles.
• A much more dumbed down "strategic" experience in comparison to past Empires games (which is saying a lot because past Empires games were casually strategic at best).

i was playing gan ning and i grabbed an officer to stab him repeatedly and it did no damage. what is the point of the grab attack if it does no damage?
