You can conquer any city with almost any faction, there's just public order, and economic penalties for occupying cities that your race finds 'uninhabitable' or 'partially suitable'.Ĭapital cities have more building slots, and some special cities haven even more. I've essentially won at this point, but just need to grind a couple more objectives out to win.Įdit: I'd buy the game when it goes on sale for sure if you're enjoying WH1.Īlso, some noteworthy changes that made the game more interesting for me than WH1 were that heroes always have their passive campaign effects, you don't need to tell them to 'cleanse corruption' or 'boost income' etc. My Last Defenders campaign, I started it when the Prophet and the Warlock campaign dropped and I'm JUST conquering up the last few provinces in the old world. I work a full-time job and am raising a family so one ME campaign can take me literally months to finish.

I personally don't mind the marathon pace of ME.

You also face a large variety of opponents. The pros for me are that campaigns can be quite varied, two games never play out the same (some people will contest this point) especially with the latest adjustments to AI, and it's epic in scale. Each turn, I have 7 armies and usually end up battling with at least 4 or 5 and have to defend at least one or two cities per AI turn.

Biggest complaints are the turn times for the AI in ME, and the later turns in ME can become a real grind to finish off, especially in higher difficulties where you are punished severely for using auto-resolve.
