    A bit of info as to why lusitani was sitting back. It was because theyre lightly armored and skirms would EASILY mess them up. So Macedon (myself) goes in first to soak up ammo and distract the skirms. Thats what the side street push was for against the perioikoi spears.

    That spartan "push" at 11:00 looked so much like a push-through. Like the player kept telling the unit to attack that thorax swordsman.

    • @KaiserFlash
      @KaiserFlash ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think that was just the unit trying to get into formation. The game should prevent a unit from getting into formation if it is in combat but this is Rome II we are talking about.

  • @arceuslegend4605
    @arceuslegend4605 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    So as for the column, when a unit opens fire on an enemy, each entity seems to target the one nearest to it. So by having a column formation, it gives the defending unit a smaller target to shoot at, therefore minimizing casualties. I could be wrong, but this generally how missile units work in warhammer, so I imagine it's the same for Rome 2

    Great game again by the Gorilla Boyz, just like you said defenders shouldn't have played that much under the towers, amd should have chosen better checkpoints to hold. Gorilla Boyz sure will be a tough contender. Can't wait to see YOUR team's games, this format is awesome, I love it :))

    Using the Ardiaei together with Sparta is a good idea, but if you don't use their missiles to cover the hoplite front, it's useless and that's what happened in this game; With Sparta it is better to get a lot of Helot Slingers or Periokoi Peltasts units, a lot of Periokoi Hoplites or Spears and a few Spartan Hoplites as the last line of defense, since that way you will be able to take advantage of the money, having enough projectiles to cover you. The fact that the Lusitani have a +2 in the tournament is misleading, I know it's because they are a faction that can be easy to beat with projectiles, but if you know how to use them easily it could be a -3 or -4 due to their damage stats. Combat.

    Wow once again Gorilla boys impressive on the attack… Solid strategy. They ripped the walls to nothing. Took the towers and just grinned them done to nothing. Great use if range. These guys know this game. I’d like to see them in Rome 1… I know I could beat them in a pitch with Armenia… Their armored horse archers best unit in the game… Pepper with arrows then you have heavy cav to finish them off. Armenian Cataphract Archers best unit in Rome 1. I’ll massacre any force with a full stack within 2 Generals. Pitch of course. However Armenian has solid infantry too… I wish you would have a contest in Rome 1.
