Wait, you could get married in previous Empires games? Huh. I have DW7 Empires and that's never come up.

Sure could, you had to build up enough relationship between people for it.

The greatest warrior needed a warrior wife, so I just stuck Lu Bu and Zhurong together in my playthrough. :v:

I was hoping Cheng Pu never getting added was some sort of running joke from omega Force.

(If it is only one of those guys getting added, I really hope its Xun Yu. Dude was such an important part of Wei's rise to power I'm pretty surprised he wasn't in already.)

Being able to edit things about my army itself was already on my wish list, so that's great. I really hope they expand on what regular officers and Vagabond Units can do because those roles were really barebones.

I'm doing Lu Bu's final hypothetical mission on normal and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei showed up as reinforcements for the enemy. Lu Bu talks about how Chen Gong can't handle those two alone so I start doubletiming through the siege to get back to the ram and him.

Then one of my minor officers takes out Guan Yu within 30 seconds of contact on the map. Lu Bu's army doesn't gently caress around. :stonklol:

Lu Bu's hypothetical route is great because, unlike the rest of 8XL's missions, your morale is constantly soaring so you can focus on murder without having to babysit officers.

It's great because Lu Bu (why can't I win?) and Chen Gong (why won't you follow my strategies?) aren't whiny bitches like in the Historical Route.

Chen Gong is pretty awesome when he's being a smug fucker and pointing out ambushes and stuff. Probably my favorite strategist yet. :v:

Pfft. Chen Gong doesn't have nearly as awesome an evil laugh as Sima Yi does.

Also Chen Gong and Lu Bu being whiny dicks to each other was the best part of the entire Lu Bu storyline.

I loved Sima Yi's evil smugness in DW7, it doesn't really come through in DW8 when he is the hen-pecked husband.

I'm semi-glad. Annoyed at extra payment for a 'complete edition'. Glad they're willing to make it complete. There's also the fact they already gave us DLC that one could say we should not have gotten.

Playing through 3 in preparation. After playing through DW 7 and 8, SW 3 feels like I'm playing a PS2 era Warriors game and it's so stiff compared to those. Can't wait for an "HD" Samurai Warriors.

It's possibly the best game in the series yet, mechanically and graphically anyway. It's a big apology for how bad 3 was.

The only SW game I played was the orochi that had character swapping if that even counts. It felt terrible and I gave up 3 missions in. Reading about the core mechanics of this one sounds like its going to be fantastic.

Well, Orochi isn't a Samurai Warriors game, and none of the SW games have had that. The character swapping is Orochi only.

5 is pretty great, which is also helped by 5 itself being a great game. It's pretty much the most standard Empires game there's been so far and if you find yourself enjoying that one, you'll like the rest. Do be aware that the game tends to change a fair bit in Empire mode from game to game.

SW4 does, and even better, your characters don't have to be anywhere near each other. If you have two objectives you just send your other character over there, and then switch to them when they get there. It's great.

Orochi 1 is easily the most difficult warriors game I can remember playing, nothing but memories of being juggled to death by five officers all taking it in turns batting me back and forth between them.

The difficult is jacked up significantly, and it will literally make you better at Warriors games. Orochi 2, on the other hand, is stupidly easy, and what's more ridiculous is that the base horse is as fast as Red Hare in the previous game, so actual Red Hare is like an F1 racer.
