Warlord is more mobile than Dreadnought: Machines are very slow, suffer from movement penalties on Wetlands, Forests, Mountains. I'm also not very familiar with the EBM or other mods you use and they probably change the equation a lot. It also depends on the specialisations you choose, which can open up new damage channels or favour certain strategies (city expansion, exploration, war or vassalship.). Also offensively the machines allow you to use non-physical damage against heavily armoured units, so you get a more flexible army.Įconomically both get similarly working upgrades but Warlord's better, DN gets armoured units with a 10% gold discount, Warlord gets all infantry, cavalry, archers for 20% less.Īll in all, I think both synergyse well and the Warlord is more interesting defensively while the DN gets a better edge on the offensive and a bit more safety against non-physical attacks. Pistol is given to cavalry (so also my dear Orc Ele rider, although it already had javelins). Additional armor for armored units (almost all orcish ones). The DN on the other hand has powerful musketeers (no idea how they compare to mounted archers from the Warlord tree?). On the downside, the Warlord units are heavily overlapped by some Orc ones, for example the phalanx and warbreed are worth little when the Empire Building mod adds a heavy lancer unit and the aforementioned Goliath. the +5 def against retaliation attacks or the defensive formation hero skill.
Also the upgrades and skills seem to have many defensive options e.g.
For example the +15 hp boost to cavalry is impressive because I use an Orc Elephant rider unit contained in a mod and this HP addition would make it extremely durable. I'd like to make another Orc hero, but not a theo this time, rather a DN or Warlord.īoth seem to match very well, because they boost units that I use a lot. After downloading the mods you suggested me including yours, I realise Draconians swerve even farther away from my playstyle while Orcs get nearer with an additional heavy and slow unit (Goliath) and some racial defensive upgrades. Although you answered all I asked, I would like to bring the topic under another theme: Orcs.
