      @@foxtrothermite6499 That is exactly why you use the "take" functionality instead of giving the units to players randomly. Players have to manually select and choose which units they want to become theirs. If no one takes units, the units just sit there until someone does. You do not take the entire army, just the few units that you choose to take, or the entire army if you choose so.

My artillery were doing danger close fire into masses of Athenian soldiers, and due to a lack of micro my cavalry was wiped out and in order to try and deal with the archers I sent out a group of peasants to chase them to the end of the map and ordered them to come back and charge the rear of the Athenian army and assumed I was going to lose since my front line were getting close to 2 man thick. The last second the peasants came back and with a single rear attack routed the entire enemy army.

      @MCshadr217 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The last part isn't true, Sparta were similar to Rome, where they believed in strict military discipline, and forming strong lines, hence why the hoplites are remembered above all other forces. They did have swords, but it was mostly down two if the phalanx was disrupted, or if they had broken their spear. Their swords would lash out from behind the shield, and reform straight after.

    Man I miss my days of playing Shogun 2, on my crappy Pentium 4 PC (got for free when my employer was liquidating). Now that I have a pretty good PC, I don't really have the time or wherewithal for all that competitive gaming stuff. But that's why it's nice that I can live vicariously through channels like this, reliving the glory days. (Did anybody else watch FishSandwichPatrol's battle videos? Wonder how he's doing these days...)
    I had some truly incredible battles. Shogun 2 (pre-FOTS) was the pinnacle of the series IMO, but I have to admit I didn't spend much time with Medieval, basically none with Empire. At least a thousand hours on Shogun 2.
    What you say is true, too, about opponents appreciating a good fight. As long as you're not kiting around with 1 cav unit just to waste time, people love a good honest scrap.

    Anyway, i was playing troy total war and i was attacking Troy with all my armies to conquer it. The defense was simply too strong and destroyed almost all my units. I had just 3 units of centaurs and a few arpies. I reorganized my forces in the center of the city and i attacked with all the strategy i have. Now the city of troy and most of that part of the map is in my control. Total war is such a beautiful saga.

  • @siedzihector9938
    @siedzihector9938 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    i am also very curious, why they never added swords into hoplite units. Sword was for that soldier as importan as spear, shield or armor. If they lost spear, or they were unable to use spear, because it was too crowded in first line, then they used swords. Of course main issue of sword fight for Hoplite was huge hoplon shield, that reduced sword-fight possibilities, but still it was main secondary weapon.

    Modern archaeologists actually Think that the pilum was not primarily intended to render shields useless by bending at the tip (though it may have been a nice side effect). The Intention of the tiny, hard tip was probably to penetrate directly through the shield to hit the Person behind it, because the Thin metal end of the pilum was longer than a humans arm. Therefore the pilum was able to hit every opponent by completely disregarding any shield in its way. Kinda like armor penetrating bullets

    • @krystofcisar469
      @krystofcisar469 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      i think so... bending pilum would be just less effective in general... what they sometime did was fixing the spear head with wooden pinds that would most likely breakafter impact hence couldnt be thrown back effectively.

    I remember one of my best battles as a player, ever: my army was a noobie triplex acies and my allies was a horse rush. He got reckt in the first five minutes so both armies rushed me. Y had to cover both fronts, then use the triarii to slowly flank every blob one by one. When the battle seemed lost and my lines were about to break, the leftovers of my ally appeared, and saved me. In the end, i won with only two units remaining. I didnt have time to save it though, and that still haunts me to this day

  • @TheAussieBrickMan
    @TheAussieBrickMan 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    These are the battles I feel massive gambles are a must. The left flank to my knowledge had no praetorians ( my focus was more on the right). So when the Armenian AI pushed back and charged around I would of sent my spartan general with them. As you see they can not only tank a vastly larger force, but also rack alot of kills. While this risked my general, that left flank Roman army more than likely would of fallen. Then he would be able to either risk even more and send his left army behind the romans or just reinforced the right side with his whole army. The Roman's nearly lost, it was simply the fact the left flank took too long for the spartans to defeat. Meaning the right flank had nothing to reinforce against the Roman elite units.
