beelee

@rogercooper

yea, the options are for people to create their own mod with whatever ones they want.

If I remember right, Canada can do a little in the battle of the Atlantic, Help defend London and reinforce Western Europe Landings.

That's about it

RogerCooper

@beelee I think a mod should be cohesive whole. The designers should default or suggest what options work the best.

RogerCooper

Name Settlers: Age of Tribes
Description Randomized fantasy warfare using the Age of Tribes map
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Settlers:_Age_of_Tribes

Good Points

Varied unit art

Upkeep costs prevent mega-stacks

Bad Points

beelee

@rogercooper

The name is self explanatory.

House Rules

Pick and choose what you want to create your own mod.

The Game Notes explain this.

RogerCooper

A specific point concerning Settlers: Age of Tribes about Dragonkin. The AI does not use them effectively. In the hands of a human player, the dragons with multiple hit points, the ability transport light foot and the ability to land in a newly captured area are devastating.
