Just about the only thing the EMP really seems to have going for it is guns and artillery, and even those are a heck of lot less effective than you might think. Missile cavalry, of course, have been pretty much worthless ever since the switch from the Med2 to the Empire Total War engine (unless the AI is using them). It doesn't seem to matter how hefty the flanking force happens to be, they just get bogged down and slaughtered, usually without even doing all that much damage. (Barring one battle with Bretonia, where I basically just made an army of nothing but heavy cav and swamped my opponent with it) I haven't once been able to pull off a decent "hammer and anvil" in Warhammer either total war game.
They also seem to fare pretty poorly against giant units.Ĭavalry? Forget it. Infantry? Some of the pike units are "okay," I guess, but they only just barely hold the line at best against most other races, and they get slaughtered pretty easily by missile cavalry, or just missile units in general. Playing as the Empire - or pretty much any of the human factions - in custom battles, I tend to pretty frequently find myself getting massacred. This is something of a trend I've noticed.
