Is there anyway to switch nations?

[Stinking1]

Im playing as the romans but they just dont seem strong compared to the chinese troops.Is there anyway I can switch or am I stuck with what i chose?

Yes you can change your troops. Just go to the upgrade Tab in game you will see Wei, Wu, Shu, and Romans you can select any one of them and grind the troops. You will have to start from basic tier, and work your way up for any new faction you want to unlock. For any questions related to the game, please join TK discord https://discord.gg/dR92NP

Yes, Roman troops dont do very much damage. Not sure if the devs made them like that on purpose for balancing reasons or just because of bias. Romans are generally good as tanks to soak up damage and absorb enemy ranged attacked, but they really suck in close combat. i have no idea why they suck in close combat, Romans historically excelled in close combat so i was really mad that they suck at it in the game.

Balance reasons only, romans can't do literally everything, they would be the only picked infantry.

It is not suggested for new players to play as Rome. Their playstyle is really only on professional players.

Some are designed to deal damage, some aren't. Socii hastati, Iberian auxilaia, and late empire legionarries can deal really good melee damage in the wedge formation, they can essentially be like Wu swordsmen with shields, ranged weapons, but not as "specialized" in close combat. For this reason, it is really up to you to deal the damage, so grab a good weapon. Rome can act as your shield, you can act as the sword.

For some odd reason, many Romans also act as ranged units. Principes and Imperial legionarries are a good example of this. Charged throw, however, is absolutely devastating if it is timed well. It is the only soldier ability that can one-shot generals into the sky.

Rome is pretty balanced, I would not say it is biased. Evocati augusti are the kings of 1v1 as they can litterally counter everyone. They have an anti-archer formation, anti-cavalry formations, ranged attack, and anti infantry formation. While, of course, they don't specialize in killing infantry as much as Wei pikes or Wu pikes, they can still win against any foe if played right.

nubs just put everything on raid and then get surprised for their troops bad performance
