I've been playing Viking Conquest which is more heavily based on tactics and yet it lacks something. Originally posted by k.dodani.k:I've played 600 hours of Mount and Blade and I love it and I've never played any TW, but both are listed as strategy games. There are bunch of mods to customize the difficulty, so if you find the game too easy check these out. Unless you play on higher difficulties, it allows you to play the battles like a guy who somehow knows what he’s doing but isn’t a seasoned pro. Attack and counter moves have to be thought through, but the game is versatile. The battles require managing your units - of course there are always some OP units – quite neatly without crushing you on normal difficulty. But the empire managing part is very beginner-friendly in the Warhammer instalment, some races like the High Elves or Lizardmen are more suited for this than others, but still.Ģ. Of course that’s not recommended, especially on higher difficulty, but in theory possible. It is even possible to play the entire campaign and auto-resolve every battle except for the last one. TW is as much about managing your empire on the campaign map as it is about the battles. Well, I’ve never played Mount and Blade, so I don’t know how to compare those games exactly, still I will try.ġ.
