Always loved playing as the English and getting attacked by the Mongols; set up the longbowmen's stakes behind the gates then sit back and wait for the cavalry to come rushing through.
I had once a campaign where i rushed Jerusalem as the HRE and by the time the Mongols showed up i had it upgraded to the point where i could recurit Pikes, 3 untis behind the gate and after their Siege Towers died i let the Ram through and then the Hordes came in and died to a Hugbox of Pikes.
@@Laucron They are stupidly overpowered. They essentially kill any cavalry going into them while running. It also works on your own cavalry so make sure to walk them over stakes instead of running.
@@Laucron yep; full on stinky cheese - there are certain archer units in the game that can set up sharpened stakes in front of them when you're setting up formations - cavalry units charging into them are pretty much insta-killed. If you set them up around the gate and deploy stakes then when the AI breaks through they send their cavalry in at full pelt through the gates and straight into horse kebabs. If you have a multi-walled fortress/town or whatever then it has to be on the innermost gate, otherwise they bring the ram through and it destroys the stakes.
This infantry unit is a bunch of absolute donkeys! You noodle, why did you get them? Just cancel this building you donut! These cavalry units are frozen! You're literally priding yourself on your cavalry, but then using frozen horses!
Never played ME2 so I just noticed how high and beautiful those wall were and the small doors they use to go up and down walls from the inside. If this was possible in 2006, I see no reason why WH3 should have such awkward, tiny walls in 2022!
Not to mention how units just teleport from the top of the wall to the bottom now, or the fact that all units just pull ladders out of thin air when attacking walls
WH sieges are terrible imo but ME2's sieges had their own issues with pathfinding which is why they gave up and simplified it in WH TW. which i feel is what WH TW is, they couldn't pull of the depth so they made it vast but shallow.

I just started playing this game, and so far it feels like "Paint the map or be painted." My first game is as Jerusalem in the crusade campaign and breaking into egypt was a major pain. But I've watched enough Legend to know that letting them sit there and build up would be a mistake, so I totally wiped them out about as quickly as I could manage. This game throws a lot at you, but you've gotta shovel through it or it just gets worse. Confront your problems when they're small or be swallowed by them when they grow. Hiding in castles doesn't work.
I just came back to medieval 2 after like 10 years and was having a real hard time with battles, campaign was easy but the way battles work is so different from total war warhammer. Melee and cav feel so much beefier in this. Like yeah range is good but the AI in field battles actually tries not to get shot lol
Are you playing with any mods? Some mods make the AI respond and act better too. Skynet AI or Rob's Battle AI are typically the most used ones. I'm currently playing a Total Vanilla Beyond Campaign with an AI submod and it's a great experience. Really improved on medieval 2

11:15 He can attack them, but directly if the flag unit is up. You can send him on top of the with a location command and they will fight their proximal enemies
if you put archers on the wall left or right to the zone where the infantry would land when exiting the siege tower, and underneath the wall, and shoot the units on the walls, peasant archers are able to devastate higher tier units no problem
I always cue up construction. I don’t want to be constantly going through my city’s and build stuff. Having something being built everywhere helps with public order and income. Use the remaining funds for your armies, it will make you not overspend on them and end up in debt.
When fighting the Mongols I always just sent one unit of my worst troop outside the gate. The Mongol Horsemen would just rush it and get within arrow range. Then Id send the unit back through the gate and the Mongol Horsemen would go "Oh, no one to kill anymore." and turn around and casually walk back to their position. All the while I'd be picking off with archers on the wall.
you can put archers at the bottom right where the enemy stands fighting on the wall. They will kill those who stand at the edge of the wall. Using fire arrows is actually pretty good in that situation since the enemy gets double morale damage
Puting the archers down in the street is the most effective tactic in siege defence imo. I always leave room where the siege towers are gonna land to have a clear shot into the enemy's flank, combined with flaming arrows you can litteraly melt the enemy.
I really like to let the towers get to the wall and flank the place they will get onto the wall, with melee infantry. Then I place some archers on the ground inside the wall and shoot at the infantry. If you do that way, you only get a little friendly fire, and the hostile infantry gets hit both from the front, the rear and from arrows. Usually melts them
The only explanation of someone being in their starting area if their trying to role play, except in this case I feel like he just played too passively, lost a lot of casualties trying to invade settlements and decided to play defensively against the mongols
In my campaign acre just fell and there are like 5 full stacks on their way and I have 3 army’s on the other side of the map. Fighting the Holy Roman Empire.
why didn't you thin the enemy infantry in the first siege with your archers? they could just hit the troops that are waiting to scale the siege tower and you may had less losses. love the medieval 2 videos they always have tips in them XD
I could send disaster battles but I don't play any TW games without mods fixing things like diplomacy, reroll skills etc.. But I'm glad some out there play vanilla
Question, is it not possible to destroy the siege tower using fire arrow while they are still inside climbing up to the tower? waiting for righ time to set fire like fish in a barrel
@@GeraltofRivia22 They would be okay imo as you have options to destroy them. But the AI just rushing you and climbing your walls everywhere just kills sieges for me. No sense in having fortifications because it makes your forces weaker :D
@@Debilinside 99% of the time I never hold the walls in warhammer 2. I might have infantry hold the towers if I have an excess of units. You will survive much better just holdin the central square every time.
I played a game. As Spain. Left France to Portugal (good friends) and focused my expansion into Africa. Until the Milanese suddenly dropped an army outside Valencia. My garrison there was pretty good (because of the French in the region) so they stood around for ages doing nothing, and I'd asked for an alliance to be rejected. Till their second army arrived and they laid Siege. And I had prepared. And sallied out and wiped them out. Following the conquest of all Milanese holdings including most of the Mediterranean islands, I now held Venice. Nice city. But three Generals in the region were murdered by assassin's. Inconvenient. My African expansion halted as I stared down the Holy Roman Empire who had tried to Siege several cities Milan had just lost. And was busy trying to prepare suitable armies for defense and offense in the area. So I stopped them from killing my generals by standing some swordsmen on the bridge to Venice. Which worked great! And then both the Burgundians and the Venetians showed up with an army each and attacked the bridge. Drawing out the garrison as reinforcements. I threw an entire army and city Garrison into that fight. So many melee infantry they threw into the fight. So many Swordman militia, Dismounted knights. Even Knight Cavalry were thrown into the blender of the bridge. All while my Pavice crossbows and hand cannons fired into their flanks. And it held. But only because I threw my hand Cannoneers in at the end. And it turns out Pav Crossbowmen are better melee infantry than most archers. And much better than Siege engineers. Good thing that.
With Ballista towers you can easily hold Constantinople. In Stainless Steel I once 4 full stack Muslim armies attack at once. The towers destroyed the bulk of them.
old comment, but in older total war ammunition isn't counted as a number of volleys, its counted as the overall amount of ammunition for the unit. so if you have 100 archers that have a total of 500 arrows, they can fire 5 times. but if for some reason your archers take casualties before they get the chance to fire and you only have 50 left, those 50 archers still have a total of 500 arrows and can now fire 10 times. Sometimes your unit gets placed in situations where not all the men can fire, like when some are in melee or the unit is partially obstructed, so the unit doesnt use ammunition as quickly since only some are firing
When you Said That there archers are not good até melee ilaughed a bit, bit when you Starter to get concerned ar your losses at the wall i thought..."yeah... They arent just tough against me"... I aproach the Mongóls always on killing their CAV and then my CAV destroy there archers, there archers on the walls are tough, because of their experiência! You should had attacked their towers first ! Their infantry is a pain um sieges
Idk. I feel the player for sure should of done some smarter things. Like... Build his goddamn roads!!! Hell! Spearmen! 2 of them are a lifesaver! Or 1 unit of cav! - This is coming from a guy who can use 40 cav vs 800 Spearmen and only loss 16 cav and win. Another couple strategies would be trying to cheese the timer to 20 minutes. Ooo if they had money I would of suggested catapult. Well... Only if it were mainly infantry. (For the Turks more so)

old comment, but in older total war ammunition isn't counted as a number of volleys, its counted as the overall amount of ammunition for the unit. so if you have 100 archers that have a total of 500 arrows, they can fire 5 times. but if for some reason your archers take casualties before they get the chance to fire and you only have 50 left, those 50 archers still have a total of 500 arrows and can now fire 10 times. Sometimes your unit gets placed in situations where not all the men can fire, like when some are in melee or the unit is partially obstructed, so the unit doesnt use ammunition as quickly since only some are firing
@@jakeparker9624 Ah, thank you. Guess they changed it later.
When you Said That there archers are not good até melee ilaughed a bit, bit when you Starter to get concerned ar your losses at the wall i thought..."yeah... They arent just tough against me"...
I aproach the Mongóls always on killing their CAV and then my CAV destroy there archers, there archers on the walls are tough, because of their experiência! You should had attacked their towers first !
Their infantry is a pain um sieges
I own Medieval II and I have no idea how you get over 100 troops in one unit??
Unit scale
Always the Mongols
Your will, mon roi?
Woah, Medieval 2 Disaster!
I did a double take at this lol
I thought you said you don't play Warhammer 2 with mods?!
Idk. I feel the player for sure should of done some smarter things. Like... Build his goddamn roads!!! Hell! Spearmen! 2 of them are a lifesaver! Or 1 unit of cav!
- This is coming from a guy who can use 40 cav vs 800 Spearmen and only loss 16 cav and win.
Another couple strategies would be trying to cheese the timer to 20 minutes. Ooo if they had money I would of suggested catapult. Well... Only if it were mainly infantry. (For the Turks more so)
