T.A.B.S. is a Area of control strategy game, and here's why you should try it
For my inhale i played the game and took notes on the different units and answered a few questions i was wondering about. For my exhale i made an analysis on the unit strengths and weaknesses, drew them, and i also made an explainer video about the game.
The Medieval Faction (Formerly called the Crusaders) is the stereotypical medieval and crusader Unit, such as the swordsmen, the Archers and also the Knights, as well as simple artillery units including the Catapult. It is one of the 14 factions in Totally Accurate Battle Simulator.
Although they offer some unique Units, such as the Bard (Which is a distraction Unit), they also have a healing Unit, the Healer, the second Unit to heal others (The first being a unit called priest which was scrapped), and a very early example of a support unit. They mostly have melee units that fight with swords. They are balanced, but most of the units are considered melee (The ones that aren't are Healer, Archer, and Catapult). This faction offers one of the most cost-effective basic infantry in the game, the Squire. The faction's name was changed from "Crusaders" to "Medieval" due to the faction being based mostly on medieval warfare (5th century-to-early 15th century) instead of the crusaders, who came along in the 11th~13th century.
