It has a PvP mode too, which I haven't as yet investigated (although I suspect it's infested with maxed out warbands which are perfected by people who have been playing non stop for a decade...).
It is really good. The AI is sometimes stupid, but it's also capable of acts of surprising cunning.

Quite.
It's really atmospheric. I never took to Mordheim on the tabletop, but given the computer game is pretty old, the graphics are great.
Complex layouts on multiple levels but reasonable to navigate when you realise the display has a compass ...
The fucking skaven are nightmarish to deal with.

Now we're being attacked by crazed chaos-worshipping zealots (bit like the Cult of Lardy).
Or, more accurately, we are leathering the living shit out of them.
Which is nice.
My main question though is why my heroes (left) can't wear proper uniform like my henchmen and leader (centre and right)

But the 1st Century BC is THE BEST TIME. You get more enemies than anyone else to fight. Arabs, Armenians, Britons, Gauls, Germans, Greeks, Iberians, Illyrians, Italian Allies, Jews, Nubians, Numidians, Parthians, Pirates, Pontics, other Romans, and of course slaves.

I think it's partly because for some reason figure manufacturers have tended to do 'Imperials' first and then 'Mid-Republicans'. After they've done those two ranges they feel tired of Romans and move on.
Granted there are some good C1 BC ranges out there now but the others do dominate

I like the idea of the parts of both Elite and Green becoming modular. So Red Dice and Green Dice, extra deployment distance, even increased/decreased chances to be hit (situationally). It allows for very well led but raw troops and highly experienced but 'sticky' veterans.
