played so much of warhammer 3 and just wanted to try out other total wars so far i've been playing this game a ton and have another game for three kingdoms.
one else thing to mention is the friendly fire of ranged units, they have become more deadly with the fatality mechanics, especially deadly for the chariots and chargers
So true , as an example it's super easy to friendly fire your own ranged mounted units if they're clumped up together without microing them apart - I've seen a chariot general die on the first friendly HA volley XD
J for Return, huh? I learned something, and I can’t wait to try it! Slingers - I like one, maybe, two units of slingers, and here’s the use. Use them as skirmishes to bait the enemy, especially in sweltering weather. Keep your army back in defensive posture, and send, preferably, heat-immune slingers up to harass the enemy. Due to their range, they can manage relatively safely (unless AI actually has some chariots). After a couple of volleys, the AI will charge their entire formation at the slingers, and you can make them run across half the map towards you, in sweltering weather. Once they arrive, they’ll be very tired, making the fight quite easy. This works especially well against Sea Peoples, due to their heavy armor. Of course, this works less effectively in cooler climates or against desert peoples. In a fight, I’ll use cheap slingers to harass high-tier flanking units, and bait them away from the battle. Slingers with Strong Vigor are ideal. Clubs - yeah… I guess they’re better than nothing? In a siege, I’ll have them man the siege machines because they have shields, and I don’t really care if they live. Expendable club units are best for this, and they might even soften up some armor for my follow-on units! In a field battle, I’ll have them absorb a charge, flank, or chase archers. That said, I’ll only recruit them if I’m in a bad situation. Missile Chariots - Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but I use them just like melee chariots. I’m just more selective of my targets. While their charge is less effective, they’re much more versatile. They also kill while withdrawing from combat. Light Archer Chariots are monsters after the battle is won, and the enemy is running away. Having two units of Light Archer Chariots is fantastic for collecting prisoners and deleting units.
@@ReptilicusTV I am one of those guys who buy all the Total War games as they release and your videos on Pharao and later Dynasties brought me down the rabbit hole of bronze and iron age. The only thing i knew before are that there where aegyptians and babylonians ans that was it. Thanks for all the infos and intro into the periode of humankind.
@@adriandrost4823 Bronze age/Iron age are always underepresented in media so I'm really,really happy you ended up enjoying the information/getting into it!
Yeah,I didn't forget about the main faction tier list ,it's coming out after 2-3 more guides - it's just a massive drag to edit and render with my current setup. It would've been out by now if I didn't have major tech issues which prevented me from uploading for a while!
Brilliant- much love on the content! I imagine it'll be a tricky one to even structure thoughts on - a lot of the faction units are similar to native units but sometimes with different price points. Interested to see how you will think about scoring
@@barker505 Glad you enjoy it ! I have a pretty clear outline on it,it'll just be a question of ranking based off of units alone,or startpos and general difficulty.
All of his units are extremely strong / overpowered ( even the starting medjay swords and chargers with the correct general attribute) - I made a mention of his elite Medjay in the video!
You should really take into consideration the people who don't have (or can't find) the return key, before making making videos where you tell people to use it. 😒
Any battle tips you'd add ? Besides don't play them,lmao. Join us on discord for memes and history ! discord.gg/aTazB9c2X7

Looney Tunes ( Reptilicus) BACK IN ACTION
Why does it seem like my archers aren't doing anything at all once the enemy is fully engaged?
Line of sight ? I'd need to see a pic / vid of combat to figure out what's the problem.
