in some games like seven kingdoms 2 you had a senario editor but if you placed only units and no buildings the men would just disapear. Will this be the same for gb or was it the same for aok?
i would like to have a fight rebels v's empire but on the empires side they have a the trade federation bot army allied with them.
if anyone has any more questions about gb ask them hear and someone will reply with an answer proberly.
In AOE2 there were often times when the scenarios included mass armies coming through enemy areas. The armies never had buildings, so i think its safe to presume you will be ok!
But you can place down buildings if you want to and you also can place special toybox units that are only avalible in the editor like Mara Jade, the Emperor, Yoda and some others.
