Coe 3 Aar

Yes, the same is true here as well. Barbarian Leaders are a dime a dozen (baker's dozen at that) and the Senator (even though he is mobile in CoE3) just gets in the way of doing things.

Nobody mourns a politician's demise...

The Senator is interesting in the sense that as long as he has any commanders at all, both of his starting ones (Senator and Centurion) are eminently expendable. As soon as you can recruit a Leo, the Centurion goes from main army commander to troop ferry, since the Leo has leadership bonuses (morale boost) and the Centurion does not.

Baron and Burgmeister can also lose the secondary heroes without much impact, though High Lords are expensive to replace. The main heroes of these classes you don't want to lose because of their combat abilities or army boost abilities.

Well if you can't complete a victory with this game you have to do AAR's until you do. Its in the rules somewhere.....

First sign of the enemy. A shambler prince with a spearman and hybrid in tow. And just when I was about to take over my ally’s coal mine!

On thing I find irritating in CoE3 from an RPGer viewpoint is that at the start of the game I name my commander. And yet, when that commander dies I have not necessarily lost the game. If I name my Senator then I feel rather obligated to protect my Senator even though its rather a worthless piece.

Ive mentioned that I think we should be naming our empires instead of that first expendable leader.

I am sad to report that our dear leader Godegisel has been slain. He was foully attacked while minding his own business by our sworn enemy, whose name we now know: the hideous and malignant Snireth Ko. The nation mourns, and frankly what I mean by that is that I mourn, because aside from the terracotta soldier guarding one of the coal mines, I’m the only one left. Not really sure what I should do now…

Victory! The great and powerful armies of Snireth Ko have destroyed the pitiful tribes that opposed us and now are masters of the world!
