YMMV / Total War: Arena

• Broken Base:
  • The Leveling System for the Character Skills and Army Tech Tree is much the same as World of Tanks and World of Warships. Players can expect to be stuck at Rank 4-5 for a long time unless they're willing to pay real money to buy the gold needed to accelerate research. There are also Premium Units that can only be unlocked with Gold.
  • War Elephants have become something of a literal Elephant in the Room: One side decries the unit as so OP that all you have to do is charge forward (A.K.A. Leeroy Jenkins!) and rack up lots of Aggression and Defense points which leads to a very simple and repetitive playstyle. The other side says that they can be dealt with easily if you have the right units, positioning, and teamwork.
