Anything on the horizon for land troops like invuln, faster movement, etc?
Would you still enjoy playing a Total War game with invulnerability? Really? I slap on the ol' money cheat and send huge armies if you want to secure a victory. I know as a fellow game abuser, I do like god mode on some games. But Total War? It would be fun for one battle, then that would be it. A battle consisting of an army full of gatlin guns, and the other, of melee mobs.
As for faster movement, you realise of course the game has a built in speed modifier right? I know this also speeds up the opposition, but really, please just leave land battles be.
