Wars of Liberty: Difference between revisions

Line 40:

** The Haitians have mechanics reminiscent of both Latin American and African factions, reflecting the [[Slave Revolt]] aspect. In addition, their villagers can't actually be killed but go down like explorer units.

* [[Cowboy]]: The Argentinians have Gaucho settler units, who all ride on horseback. While the Americans can recruit Buffalo Soldiers (Union-route) and Texas Rangers (Confederate-route), in addition to dynamite-tossing Miners seeming straight out of the Gold Rush.

* [[Culture Chop Suey]]:

* ~~[[Culture Chop Suey]]:~~ A side effect of the Anglo nations' special gameplay mechanics is that depending on the path chosen, it can very much result in this. This is most evident with the Australians, given how they incorporate Aborigine, Maori and New Zealander influences.

** Compared to the base game, the Japanese increasingly look like a mash of East and West especially by the late game, reflecting the Meiji Restoration.

* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: It takes some getting used to when it comes to both playing the new factions and the existing ones from the base game due to all the changes.

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Downplayed, but the mod is this compared to the base game. Especially as it doesn't shy away from invoking more politically incorrect topics like slavery, religious zealotry, colonialism and racism without being [[Anvilicious]].

Line 70:

** Simon Bolivar, for the Columbians. Not only is he their leader, but is actually playable as a hero character.

** For the Romanians, there's the Domnitor explorer unit, who's all but stated to be Vlad Tepes (aka, the real [[Dracula]]). He even has an ability that allows him to set up a forest of impaled bodies to demoralize enemies.

** The Japanese, meanwhile have Daimyo units from the base game (themselves based on historical figures like Daimyo Masamune) updated to match the time period, complete with figures like Saigo Takamori.

* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: In addition to Serbians being able to burn their own structures (which could also harm surrounding units), Latin American Coronels can start up ''incendio'' fires while the Inca have access to wildfires through their monument.

* [[La Resistance]]: Invoked by certain units like Mexico's Insurgentes and the Metis rebels for the Canadians' "New France" path.
