Well going through the different commanders now, it seems to me that all the commanders play pretty much the same. (anders so far seems to be the exception) If I’m wrong; please correct me and let me know what I have overlooked. Maybe I’m still used to HW1 where each leader had unique units and the factions seem alot more asymmetrical.
Thanks
Well, you said to correct you if you are wrong so here I am lol.
Each leader has their own strengths and weaknesses. The tech tree is an awesome introduction. You want an example of leaders feeling the same? Look at Halo Wars 1. Apart from your leader power/leader unit they were virtually the same. In Halo Wars 2 each leader specializes in something and has objective bonuses in his or her strengths. Atriox, for example, can expand and build bases insanely fast. His rapid expansion leaves him vulnerable to, say, a Decimus, who can rush very hard. Same with Forge. He can use his Jack Rabbits and quick vehicle production to choke the enemy into staying at one base.
Long story short, the game is beautifully designed and each leader, at least to me, feels very unique from the rest.
Except Isabel… unless I am playing her wrong she feels quite underwhelming compared to everyone else.
