Imagine training your entire life in the way of the warrior only for some peasant boy with a long stick to kill you. There was a reason why it was the pike and crossbow that ended the age of chivalry in Europe.
Not really. It was the centralization of the state making knights less cost-effective and politically impractical, as they at their core, were meant as a highly elite high mobility force made of local nobility. Remember, their tactics survived even during WW1, with big men in armor mounted on big horses charging. After all, pikes and crossbows had existed since the ancient greeks. Essentially, as gunpowder weapons became more powerful, the armor required to protect against them became more expensive (the term bulletproof does originate from armourers shooting a cuirass with a gun, and marking the dent as proof that it could protect against bullets). And as the state had taken it upon themselves to equip many of the soldiers now, it simply became less practical to give them the full harness of proper knights, who gradually kept becoming less and less cost effective. With less armor on the man and horse, they became more vulnerable to the pike, forcing them to become more selective with their targets and flanking became more important. Another fun tidbit: The term musket originally referred to an extra heavy infantry gun, dedicated to penetrate armor, as the regular arquebuses were often insufficent. However, guns of that power gradually became the standard with technological advancements
perfectly ballanced as all things should be the only thing that can defeat very long pointy stick is a short pointy stick going at a significant speed aka the arrow
@@liszarezo3658 Nah, for the Romans it was their big shields letting them close the distance. For the Landsknhechts it was combined arms. A pike square did also involve halberds, greatswords and so on. With the role of the Greatswords was to help beat aside enemy pikes and then go in with carnage. They were usually very well paid, and heavily armoured
Oda said Owari people were weak, ridiculous weak, and this give him headache when he try did somethink with this. Hard soil can give good harvest with skilled farmer.
@@LEEGOOVER9901 any cav that touches the pike will basically instantly die. Infantry will struggle massively too. And pikes are pretty ranged resistant
Not much in Attila, there they town it down a bit and only one factions had good pikes. In Rome 2 the best strategie is just pepper them with arrows, rocks and javelins.
When i saw da winning button for oda long yari ashigaru, i realize that we need like 10 unit of no-dachi samurai, a cannon, 2 unit of bow warrior monks just to take half of their army
Yes but when you go behind them they lose morale very quick. In the early game i usually keep around 2 katana samurai around my flanks and then just go behind them with swordsmen while they are busy fighting with the levies, i brake the flanks quickly and i free up lots of troops to deal with the rest of the army. This tactic has worked very efficiently for me. You usually end up encircling all their melee units and kill all of them. Just keep an eye for their cavalry and for their reserves (if they have any). If they have cavalry or reserves i put 2 ashigaru units on the flanks to cover the samurai.
This is what spears, pikes, and polearmed units from every Total War games should do that they keep their spears down and thrusting them before and after the enemy charges. Not switching to swords until enemy charges to them just like what happens in Empire game. I think that there is a flaw within the coding system of the spear units.
Japan could have won WW2 if they had a Long Yari Wall blocking the two nukes
Don't forget the bow warrior monks to intercept the bombers
@@miguelluisgorospe8417 😂😂
Did you want them to win?
Japan could defeat the US by just using that Shimazu heavy gunners bruh
they could have used fire rockets against the nukes so it would explode mid air!
“HOW DID YOUR PEASANTS BEAT MY SAMURAI?!?”
I gave them a spear so long that it reaches Hainan. Good luck reaching them.
😈😈👍
Blacksmith: "hey Nobunaga how long should our spears be?"
Nobunaga: "Yes"
Long Yari is basically what people thought the pikemens in Rome 2 would be like instead of completely op version of subgod humans.
Remember, the pikemen always fight in super enclosed city blocks so it's very predictable how most engagements are going to go
The final combat xD. Whoever has doubts after watching this video about which is the best infantry unit in the game, he should go to the priquiatrist.

How to win in Shogun 2? Will you need three things:
Yari wall
Yari wall
Yari wall
😈
perfectly ballanced as all things should be
the only thing that can defeat very long pointy stick is a short pointy stick going at a significant speed aka the arrow
Or an infantry with large shields, or cavalry with even longer sticks, or artillery and firearms.
Or short men with short sword (Like Roman vs falanga or Lanckrekt vs Swiss )

@@dragon12234Romans actually used their speed to their advantage, they let heavier calvarymen chase and turns back after they are exhausted
That why Oda Long Yari is one of the most OP unit in this game...
Ahh Yes, the Chad Oda Ashigaru *Pointy Stick go Staph*
Yarimezing...
Lol, I read it with the battle advisor voice
Oda said Owari people were weak, ridiculous weak, and this give him headache when he try did somethink with this.

In Rome 2 and Attila，Pike Units are even more OP.
Try RTW. You can win the entire game with just by putting hoplites in a corner.
@@JacobBite how so

@@piggysew797 so... Hoplite is pikemen in rome eh?

Long Yari Wall moment
Oda's biggest enemy is Chosokabe..
how i add oda long ashigaru in custom battle
You just come to custom battle and pick them. No limited here.
Not even the Shogun Samurai army stand a chance against my Ashigaru Phalanx
😈

Flanking tactic is always useful in all Total War titles.
@@TotalWar1vs1 you can say that again. 🤣

👍
the yari is so long that it reaches Kyoto from Owari
Haha 😈👍
In comparison with the normal katana/yari units, it almost looks like the weapons have been modded to make them comedically long. 🤣
😈
2 and half body long yari/pike seems like a thing in Japan actually
th-cam.com/video/FxuhmeDLTiI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=mustbefunny%2a
Long Yari (Yari Wall) vs armstrong canon.
They can win 😈
holy crap
😈
Sometimes I think yari wall is kinda broken idk
Yari Wall of Oda Long Yari Ashigaru is OP, but not the normal one.
It's perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
