If you have the King Power that keeps you alive when you should've died, you can piss off the bunny, and then block.

Its attack will go through your block, instantly levelling blocking to 100. Then kill him.

I tried that just now, my blocking went from 41 to 100.

Most fun I've had in ages, through there are still a lot of incomplete weapons, like the coach gun, the big XOXO, or the Night Ops blade.

And I can't seem to turn them off again, sadly.

They were cuter in Touhou, I feel cheated.

OKAY SO:

• logistic chains, where you need to bring food and arrows to the front line lest your units cannot heal and their rate of fire suffer,
• farming, with different kind of soil, so you CAN go for land if you wish to (through sadly you only have one kind of crop, and not cattle like in Tzar or Lord of the Realm),
• logistic chains, where goods have to be brought from villages to the castle, and caravans are vulnerable to being stolen,
• height is very important, if you take over a hill, you can hold out indefinitely,
• siege can be done with siege machines, or with fire arrows, or with demons,
• hiring new units is done extremely quickly, but by default, units are shite, you need to train them with a training dummy to boost their melee damage (see exhibit 2),
• there is a soft tech-tree where you can go Pagan, semi-Pagan, Renaissance, semi-Imperial, and Imperial, with different boons and units if you pledge fully to one side instead of being a disgusting Centrist,
• sadly a lot of non-renewable ressources: sooner or later you'll run out of gold and building materials,
• PLAY IT,
• formations that give off different bonuses, so you should really put your units into formations: a column walks faster than a bunch of goons walking around, but has trouble taking turns, so it's to cover quickly long tracks of lands,
• no stupid swordsmen, this is real war, so you get spearmen and you'll love them,
• you get light infantry, heavy infantry, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and some really weird stuff,
• if you go full Pagan, you get to summon a DEMON by building a wickerman, putting peasants in there, and setting it on fire. Bees are not involved, don't bring up bees or I'll backtrace your signal and kick your ass, Hank Hill-style,
• if you go full Imperial... well I dunno, I think you get guns? Honestly my memory's hazy, games rarely last long enough for me to reach the tip of the tree,
• voice acting's pretty fun, "you're such a slave driver!", "just don't get me killed!", and "QUICK MARCH!" which you'll hear a lot of.
• production buildings that double your income if you go Centrist, encouraging you to snub guns and demons for the sake of having a windmill and a sawmill,
• music's ok I guess, Tzar and AoE2 still do better, sadly.
