Reviews and ratings were generally done at the time I played as the Battalion. They may not be reviews and ratings of the current version of the Battalion. They may not represent my changing attitudes regarding even those Battalions and mechanics which haven't themselves changed.
Battalion Name | Rating from 1 to 5 | Review | Opposing Battalion in A-to-Z Game |
---|---|---|---|
4th King Battalion | 1 | probably doesn't need to exist—could be replaced with Desert Outpost as an old historical Battalion | The Holy Empire |
Alliance Battalion | 5 | beautiful checkmates but might be too strong, more research needed | Great Pyramid |
Basilic Battalion | 4 | might be too defensive in general | Alliance Battalion |
Children of the Moon | 3 | cool ideas | The Labyrinth Battalion |
Crab Battalion | 2 | only good in mirror sort of | Crab Battalion |
Cultist Battalion | 2 | potentially could work with some changes | Shogun's Battalion |
Faithless Order | 4 | might still be a bit overpowered actually, especially against Shogun's Battalion | The Sakura Clan |
Dread Pirates Battalion | 3 | a bit confusing and perhaps weak due to promotion upon entering the Ship | Shogun's Battalion |
Eastern Dynasty | 2 | needs loading mechanic for Dynasty Cannons | Devout Order |
Frost Beasts | 4 | could potentially be better if go mechanics were more important, more research needed | Frost Beasts |
Great Pyramid | 3 | a bit overloaded with odd mechanics | Devout Order |
Devout Order | 3 | should be buffed to some extent | Twin Suns |
Ironclad Battalion | 3 | should perhaps be nerfed | Frost Beasts |
League of Death | 4 | very interesting | League of Death |
League of Knights | 3 | not very interesting outside of Lancelot | Ronin battalion |
Martian Battalion | 3 | interesting but probably not to an extent that justifies how confusing it is | Medieval Battalion |
Medieval Battalion | 3 | has some weird rules like castling and en passant but obviously can't be changed | Frost Beasts |
Overgrowth Battalion | 1 | Redwood Ent. too strong against Titans without normal chess king movement and entire Battalion a bit confusing | Stone Speakers |
Paradox Depths Battalion | 4 | could use more long-range direct-attacking Pieces, like perhaps a maorider if not simply a bishop-like piece | Twin Suns |
Parasyte Battalion | 2 | seems quite confusing considering what it brings to the table | The Palace of the Morning Calm |
Ronin battalion | 3 | good but changes the enemy army a bit too much, possibly annoying the opponent | The Golden Horde |
Shogun's Battalion | 3 | good but might be annoying to play against for people new to drops | Medieval Battalion |
Spartan Battalion | 4 | pretty cool though possibly underpowered, as speculated by others | The Golden Horde |
Stone Speakers | 2 | too complex with a few unnecessary rules | Western Dynasty |
Sultan's Battalion | 1 | good idea for a Battalion but needs massive changes, possibly a 2-deep line of pawn-class Pieces | The Holy Empire |
The Evolved Battalion | 2 | interesting but very complex, possibly too powerful, and in need of an update | The Holy Empire |
The Golden Horde | 3 | interesting though maybe a bit stronger than it's given credit for | Frost Beasts |
The Holy Empire | 4 | easy to understand with no significant flaws except lacking in piece value variety | Stone Speakers |
The Labyrinth Battalion | 3 | power a bit over-concentrated in the Medusa and the Minotaur in my opinion | Great Pyramid |
The Mermaid Battalion | 4 | relies heavily on Piece coordination like a house of cards, which makes it interesting | Twin Suns |
Lion Dynasty | 3 | interesting contrast between leapers and lame leapers but even Ranks sadly unreachable to lions | Stone Speakers |
The Palace of the Morning Calm | 2 | still clunky but a bit better with new reinforcement system | Shogun's Battalion |
The Perfect Balance Battalion | 2 | Steam Nexus likely overpowered and Steam Pawn promotion-like ability rather strong | The Holy Empire |
The Sakura Clan | 4 | surprisingly fun, at least against Medieval Battalion | Medieval Battalion |
The Western Dynasty | 4 | good but with weird opening stuff | Medieval Battalion |
Twin Suns | 4 | perhaps overpowered but makes the Titan an interesting Piece in a way few Battalions do | Twin Suns |
Xiang Dynasty | 3 | still a bit problematic, changing the enemy army too much and possible a bit weak | Shogun's Battalion |
