Cuse battania IA so dumb, they lost every castle and they keep riding them making that recruiting is only 4 per village. And IA don't recruit from enemy villages, so when they lose castles is imminent his destruction.
Valandian Pikemen is ment for when you leave their kingdom and take your fiefs with you. They are real good against valandian cavalry. I used to stack them up in garrisons and go get them when I fought the empire. But the empire is to diverse. It wasnt until I used them to fight 1000+ valandian armies. when their highst ranking troops go first. That they really paid of. So I have a soft spot for them. After all long pokie stick looks awsome when they marching into position,
Yeah I always hire valandians for my cav and imperials for my pikemen. Battanians hero archers are great archers that defend theirselves decently from cav with their falx and can push in a siege. Frontline is kind of up to you, but I usually do sturgians or legionnaires, cause their great shields for shield walls
A spear unit with no shield should at least have a hard hitting 2h pike with "brace" the ability to stay crouched in defensive stance should be automatic for incoming enemy units. Should this fit with an idea of a phalanx? If not say for Valandia then a new faction with Greek hoplite type units?
Yeah you can pick up armed merchand, millicia, gallant sword sister, some looters caravans guard and you gonna have the worst army in the game but with skills point they gonna get good
I havent really used them yet. But to me they seem like they have literally one job... Stall / dissuade cav. They're definitely a specialist unit. I probably would only use maybe a single line of them in their own unit to put out in front of other infantry to slow a cavalry charge. I reckon I'd put them in front of a square formation of regular infantry. And I probably wouldn't use more than a dozen or so.
running some tests, the pikemen are almost unbeatable by any melee cavalry in square formation, but they will lose any equally matched battle against infantry they arent the worst unit, theyre highly specialized for taking out heavy cavalry
Valandia sgts shieldwall thin line of pikes for anti cav, archers behind with Volg behind the archers playing sweeper for enemy Cav. Units of Cav on your flanks then just cycle charge on your formation from behind with your cav and on isolated enemy archer units. Keep in mind its far easier to fight enemy closer to your starting spot to play for time keeping the enemy over extended. Also pre-plan your battles according to migratory patterns of coconut carrying african swallows. May I respectfully request Resonat that you do an advert for "tiger brand coffee" in the lands of the Aserai? I know I can already hear it.. A Tiger? In Aserai?
@scarecrow_gaming0032 Again, that wasn't the problem. The problem is that there is an underlying mod making his cavalry much more effective than vanilla counterparts; maybe like the RBM mod.
"battania has alot of archers" one army i saw once of 400 battanians had A GRAND TOTAL OF 27 archers
Amazing
Yeah. The Battanian AI isn't very good at prioritizing archers. They have a lot more javelins and for some reason cavalry.

Best way to balance them is to buff pikes with much higher pierce

You know who has the best recruits? Battania. Why? They have sledgehammers.
you are truly one of the youtubers of all time

I love that the rimworld theme became THE music for story telling

they arent the worst unit, theyre highly specialized for taking out heavy cavalry
But shield formation with any inf with shield is better than only having those trash piks.
@@FakiuChairo its pretty satisfying how few of them die against 200 of the best cavalry in the game
Do Is the batania linbrakers I don't remember the name of the unit. The tear five units are weaker than the tear four
Now this, this is epic
Hi Reso... I surprised you could manage with those trash...

Have you ever played with dynamic equipment?
Play a game where you can only field captured soldiers who want to join you.
Heyy little question of mine, why didnt you equip the hats and stuff like that ?
Me, too.
Pikement are bad, but some of the mercenary troops are horrible
Those banner knights are modded; only reason they are the "best" unit in "your" game.
I literally say its a skin mod, Doesnt change shit about the unit itself
@ResonantRTS Bullshit; those banner knights are much more effective than their vanilla counterparts. Stop lying to yourself.
@mrmysterium1638 again it's a skin
@scarecrow_gaming0032 Again, that wasn't the problem. The problem is that there is an underlying mod making his cavalry much more effective than vanilla counterparts; maybe like the RBM mod.
chill out kit, didnt even look like raised charge damage to me couldn't see much but the only ones i saw were like 2 or 3 damage where was others
Luuters
Sixth?
Banner knight is the best unit in the game?
Is this some reverse psychology nonsense to go and watch your back catalogue?
Second?
First?
Third?
