I know its quite old video but i was playing hard mode after finishing all the easier modes and wanted to get the most out of my troops and i found out that this trait called "sure-footed" with pikes is insanely op. It's because sure footed makes your troops take less knockback. It can defend arriving boats even in the same tile what they are going to land on and not stun any troops. I found it kinda out by myself and would like to know your thoughts about this. I mean it can literally defend any other enemy in game from one boat exepct archers and those crossbows. Ps. Really appreciate the very few likes 😎👍
My Main Strategy is 1 Archer, 2 Infantry, and 1 Pike. The Pike holds choke points, the Infantry are flexible and block attacks, the Archers pick off enemies
@@baconninja4481 pike holds choke points, 1 of my archers clears boats with units that don’t shoot, other one is assisted by a infantry against archer brutes and archers
I agree with all of this but: 2) The first troops don't really Have to be Infantry, playing accordingly between Pikes and Infantry may net you a cheeky solo Island for nothing. I think you underestimate Pikes, they hold choke points really good. Overall, no ally units are weaker or stronger than another, milking their strength while avoiding their weaknesses makes the game way easier imo 5) Plunge is better in islands with hills, Pike Charge is better in islands with open areas, especially straight areas while Volley are better for targets that are not moving, all imo. I dont know man, last time I check, Volley doesnt cover the entire map. Also I would put Pike Charge higher than Volley since it gives Pikes a way to deal with Archers, its an insane wave clearing tool and its more reliable/easier to use. Volley's hitbox just doesnt work for me, i could hardly even hit a moving Brute. Still, great guide,man. I'll be looking forward to seeing your next vid :)
Thanks for the suggestions! 2) It's a bit of luck, if you are unlucky and there are archers on the first few islands, infantry is very good. The infantry is invincible against the archers until it doesn't move. I totally agree, that there is no weaker or stronger unit, but I think that you need 2 infantry, in case there are archers/brute archers coming from more directions. 5) That's totally true, it's my bad, I tried it on a flat island. The volley's range is basically infinite, but it can't shoot through mountains. Anyway, it's range is never smaller then any other troops (if it is, please tell me, but neither the infantry or pikes can go through any obstacles) Thanks for everything, the next video is going to be about Unity (sorry for uploading about multiple topics, but I wouldn't like to make two channels, I haven't got enough viewers to run both succcesfully)
Er...did you know that you can make the commander of a unit other than the infantry unit move alone?That's a quite good way to kill archers of the enemies by the commander if you don't have any infantry unit!
@@Iugeer If you have spike force or archers force,move one of them to a block then move them to another block nearby fast,then the commander will attack enemies that are not far from your commander(about 3 blocks).But if you do so on your infantry force,about half of the force will go attacking.
you cant do archer only in the start, and it will also be troublesome with brute archers, the axe throwers and normal archers, and even the shieldmen have certain defense against arrows and will make it troblesome in the beginning

Damm bro, thanks
Glad i could help :)
My Main Strategy is 1 Archer, 2 Infantry, and 1 Pike.
The Pike holds choke points, the Infantry are flexible and block attacks, the Archers pick off enemies
same, that's my tactics too!!
Personally my strategy is 2 archers, 1 pike, 1 infantry
Care to elaborate a bit?

I have a question how to save your game
it autosaves
All archer only
you cant do archer only in the start, and it will also be troublesome with brute archers, the axe throwers and normal archers, and even the shieldmen have certain defense against arrows and will make it troblesome in the beginning

Actually, the tips are not helpful for me, but your style is great
Archer volley is the worst skill for me

Makes sense, but it’s interesting to see other ppl ways of thinking
Then why are you here?
