How would you make Ageless WC2 factions?
So if you are choosing two factions from Ageless Era, and merge them into a WC2-style faction, with which you rotate your recruits within unit pairs, what faction pairs would you choose?
Re: How would you make Ageless WC2 factions?
I think it depends on whether your goal is to make the strongest combinations, balanced combinations or nerfed combinations. First would probably be the easiest.

I dont like World Conquest 2 recruit method at all. It forces me to get an unit i did not need to get the unit needed that comes after it.
Probably would have play it much more if did not force this weird recruitment upon the player.

I think 7 to 8 mainline lv.1 units to recruit is a bit boring for a campaign lasting 5 scenarios, and the recruiting system is nicely refreshing. For survival map where I'm only recruiting 12 units, I am perfectly fine with traditional factions.Eagle_11 wrote:I dont like World Conquest 2 recruit method at all.

Sure, combining drakes and orcs into one faction is fun, but only when not forced to get an drake warrior to get my next grunt.Xara wrote:I think 7 to 8 mainline lv.1 units to recruit is a bit boring for a campaign lasting 5 scenarios, and the recruiting system is nicely refreshing.

edit: Anyhow, back on topic.
I would combine Lavinian Legions with Orcei Gladiatores.

The system is like this exactly to stop you from spamming one unit like grunt lol

I have thought more about this idea. And got a few rule of thumbs:
-The two factions should have different alignments.
-Need enough naval and flying units.
-Some thoughts should be put in the interactions of factions' playstyle. But in general I think the Ageless Factions are less distinct than mainline factions so I tend to worry less about it.
-The art styles should be similar. It would look weird if your army is EFM Whites + Ukian.
-Don't combine two OP factions. EoMa Summoners + EoMa Destroyers would kill the fun for example. A easy way to keep this in check is to look up in Ageless Survival Tier list.
-The combo should somewhat make a theme flavorfully.
-Two factions should come from different Era. This is just my personal preference to have an interworld flavor. If I'm making such an Era, I would put in this rule.
-In the end it comes down to what factions you like.
Currently the combos I'm thinking of are EFM Darklander + Emperor's Guard and Ukian + EoMa Runemasters.

That can work. Having two ordinary factions kind of solve your problem with recruit rotating. Unlike the Orcish Grunt - Drake Warrior scenario, you always get two similar units, so the counterpart would not be as useless.Eagle_11 wrote:I would combine Lavinian Legions with Orcei Gladiatores.
