About those wargs. What do I need?

What do I need to produce units on wargs? I have them and I believe I chose a tech that concerned riding, but I cannot design or build any.

mounted warfare + empire faction

Pretty sure I had both. Will there be an autogenerated unit (as you get autogenerated new soldiers when you research new equipment)?

 

I will play again. 1.4 seems actually to resemble a decent game :)

You need to put the wargs in when you do the unit design. Go to the tab called equipment and you should see horsies somewhere down there.

I have finally made it. As far as I can see, speed it the only advantage, but I guess its an important one.

Mounts would do better to add sprint to the unit, conferring no speed bonus.

I had hoped at one point in version changes that maybe mounted units could be employed to counter archer units.  Maybe they get +4 unit speed in combat or something so they can close and hit archers in 1 round.  But that was just a hope, and would make mounts actually useful.  I like the idea of a big dude on a horse smashing little archers with a large hammer or something heavy anyway.

Mounts in FE will grant combat speed and allow units to carry more equipment I believe. So you might get your wish yet!
