what would have happened if the opponent decided to stay firm on the hill and use skirmishes to pick away at your heavy infantry? Would you have lost then? What would have been your strategy?

I grew dissatisfied with some of the game mechanics. The IGOUGO system has some disadvantages and made the game more like a puzzle game than a wargame. Overall the product is good but I sorta grew out of it.

Great video! Thanks a lot! As a total newbie, this helps me a lot - also to assess how deep you can go with this game if you invest in it. I like that the mechanics and the scale are relatively "tight". There are not too many battlegroups/counters, movements are short, but every move and every turn can decide the game.

21:40 so if you have a possibility to attack your enemy in current turn like shown on your video, it's better to just move and wait to attack in next turn to get flanked bonus? Kinda strange.
@michaelchung1526
@michaelchung1526 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, you are correct. This is a concession of using a turn-based system. The defending player needs to be given the chance to refuse their flank or a chance for help to be sent and have the flank protected. Even if pinned by an attack to the front beforehand on the same turn, it would be too punishing to allow an auto cohesion drop to occur the same turn
@RevarBB
@RevarBB 4 жыл бұрын
Yeah that for sure makes sense, guess i need to get used to it more. I have one more question if you don't mind explaining. I notice people always make all their attacks in melee even if they have super low % and lose. Isn't it better to just wait and skip your attacks? That way enemy will attack you only once next turn instead you would attack and lose now, and lose again next turn. I find it better to not attack if you're fighting weaker vs stronger that way you can hold more turns. Does it make any sense?

@@RevarBB You cannot avoid combat. If two units are in melee and you don't resolve the combat during the turn, on the following player's turn (or AI) before any actions are taken, it will resolve ALL unresolved combats. Then resolve beginning of turn compulsory actions (fleeing, rallying etc). Not resolving on your turn is bad you do not gain information on the outcome of such a combat and thus lose the ability to perhaps take action (say move in reserves to a unit that is breaking) on your turn before flipping it back.

This depends on the situation. Yes, it's better to wait until the next turn so you can do a flank charge but not if (a) the enemy can move a unit so as to stop you from doing that or (b) the enemy has another of your units in combat and is likely to win the combat this turn. By putting a second unit into combat, you relieve the pressure on your unit that is losing.

This game is a play by email game. There is no "hotseat option". Most games are played over the course of a week or two. The developers are looking into adding a Hotseat mode though. I agree its a bummer if you want that style of multiplayer but it appears to be some way off. They are a small studio with limited resources and the market for wargames isn't exactly huge

A very fine combination of thoughtful video AAR, ground and tactical analysis, and exposition of doctrine for different troopsand circumstances. This classic, common and usually match-up is a good choice for the video. Given the terrain offers a route of advance for heavy infantry to push forward only between the shore and the rough ground, deploying the phalanx resting its left flank on the shore and facing that gap is a a textbook move. It is a good defensive position and the most practical offensive position of those locally available. It is possible to bull through such a gap and seek to wheel right toward the center of the field past the rough, but the problem remains of covering the left flank hanging in air as it wheels and keeping off pressure from the the Romans in control of the rough. The position of the Seleucid reserve was as a local reserve on the Seleucid right but I did not note any real local purpose for it. As a general reserve nearer the coast it could have covered the phalanx's advance. An army's doctrine for local and general reserves should be decided well before a campaign and troops raised accordingly. As conducted, the attack was launched without adequate flank cover and indeed additionally exposed on the left by the larger gap due to the 45 degree pivots the pikes executed. This allowed the Romans to outwing and then outflank the Seleucid line more easily and left the phalanx facing the rough ground into which it could not safely advance against opposition. where all it could do would be to block Roman attacks from that terrain. Possibly a compromise decision - doing something because there is a need for action - an emotion for motion when realizing the Pikes were not contributing to the fight and that the Romans were making their left the center of gravity of the fighting. The Romans gained an easier flank position on the now disjointed phalanx and a flanking position on the Seleucid right through control of the rough terrain ahead of the Seleucid right. It is a reminder to attend to local and general reserves positioned where thy can quickly influence the troops they are chosen to support.

Horse archers are like modern warfare in that concentrated shooting disrupts enemy infantry, sometimes fragments them. In that condition, especially with a flank position or other edge, the heavy horse archers can charge the foot, though lancers or even better some cataphracts or elephants are ideal. Enemy mounted are a threat to be shot kept away or taken out first. Mongols are a fun army (later book DLC) and the cherry on top is the small contingent of lancers they can sometimes take to force the enemy to be more cautious in his troop handling.
