Speaking of great medics... is there any difference between the healing quality of Medic/ Woodsman III?
I've always gone the other way. You can't be afraid to lose them or you're wasting them from getting any stronger. If you're going for dom or conq you're going to have plenty of generals so I don't cry when I lose one. **** happens. And if it's an early one, you can give get them CR promotions moping up, and if you put a good defender in the stack you can minimize your danger and if you keep them a little wounded it also helps. But then I'm probably the only one here that thinks this. I like having 5 or 6 GG rifles (with move) moving with my cavalry. A couple of super healers and a few with CR3. Yeah, a few die, deal with it.I am a firm believer in wimpy super medicsdon't want 'em accidentally turning up as the strongest defender and dying...
Yeah, a few die, deal with it.
Combat V is awesome, but you don't need it if you have enough Air/Mobile Artillery.
Commando with that 5th promotion, for me.
See, I'd love to take Commando but I feel like I can never get enough units with it for it to be properly useful, if that makes sense.
Not without traits help (Agg, Cha?), you need combat 1 too for Medic III.I see.... becoming WM III first and then with the help of a GG putting the Medic on top. I wonder if 20 exp points are enough for medic 1-3 when the guy has already 3 promotions out of the woods?
Medic III is stronger than Woody III,
if they are on different healer units only medic will be used, if they are on 1 unit (super healer with both medic and Woody III) they stack.
I also always assumed having a Woody III unit and a Medic III unit would stack the healing bonuses, and that seemed to bear out, but I'm not 100% sure, I never tested it rigorously.
The exact text of the hint in question, for reference:If two different units have healing qualities and they stand on the same tile, i am absolutely certain that only the best bonus will be applied, no stacking. That is written into one of the "Hints" you get while waiting for the game to launch.
I always interpreted that as units with identical healing promotions not stacking the effect, but units with different healing promotions stacking. Of course in vanilla that's just the Medic line and Woodsman III.Consider keeping one unit with the Medic promotion in each large stack - the bonus isn't cumulative, but it can make a difference in keeping the advance going
