Man the armour values in this game are so random, nothing to do with what you see

[@cathulionetharn5139]

the warmaidens have 15 more armor than korynites and andromachoi. while the only difference in armor is that almost all warmaidens don't have helmets but the other two units a majority has helmets

[@padmad3832]

Yeah the comparison between warmaidens at 3:21 and daughters of ares at 4:32 is pretty clear. Quilt/leather vest, no helmet = 70 armor. Metal breastplate, metal helmet = 35 armor. I don't know if shield supposed to be part of armor like it was in medieval 2, but I always imagined that it translated to melee defense in the newer games. It's a bit nit picky, but the values are odd.

[@dan7564]

@@padmad3832 Yeah that's super weird. Perhaps the warmaiden armour is represented by the shield? The Daughters don't have a shield. I mean, there is the shield icon modifier but all that does in a game sense is block arrows. Realistically it would also be used to defend yourself in melee.

[@thisistotalwar]

Probably the centaurs

[@TheAtlasReview]

As much as I think I'll like this DLC, its very strange that they are going so mythical with the Amazons considering that we KNOW the "truth behind the myth" when it comes to Amazons. The myth was almost certainly inspired by Greeks encountering camps of scythian women after their men had gone to war or to hunt, so they learned to fight in order to protect themselves. Seems like they should have worked this into the DLC's narrative, like my having part of the backstory of Themyscera being that most of their men had been killed by the Achaeans, leaving their forces mostly women.

[@MMadesen]

Well, you could still interpret these amazons as skythian women plundering the countryside.

Thei neck of some of the units are so weird ;p Also Andromachoi means, the ones that fight men.

[@EimiShahrizai]

The units that are locked off to Penthesilea are pretty damn dire. Having basically no frontline is such a huge detriment when how you obtain higher tier units is ranking them up. Sure she gets more cav but that doesn't really make up for it. And she's a Horde. It's such a shame because I'd rather have her as my lord but alas, Hippolyta's faction is the one that actually looks fun to play.

@@Audentior_Ito well i don't know if it couldn't happen (physically speaking it's possible) but i don't see why any tribe would want an all female army given their view of women at the time. ALso it would make more sense for a tribe to have both men and women in the army rather than just women as one of the big advantages of having women fight is that you can double your fighting numbers, if you only use women then it kind of defeats the whole purpose

Not really. From a game design perspective, thats nonsense, (why have all that unit variety if unit x is anti everything) and from a realistic perspective, anti-large means long reach (spear, no dachi, ...) while anti inf usually means rather short.

[@CahitbeyAdiAlinmis]

@@hausser0815 think about a normal light cavalry, they are not anti anything, but an anti large cavalry would be that same cavalry but with long weapons resulting in bonus vs large, but that cavalry would still be as effective as normal cavalry vs infantry, it should be anyways.

So much for, "truth behind the myth." If they wanted to go for truth behind the myth, it would be mixed units of men and women, similar to the Sarmations. Seriously, Achilles being blond was considered too unrealistic, but boob armour and big naked "minotaurs" are fine?

[@Luca-sl7tb]

Excuse me? Achilles is blonde in the game, the Amazons follow the same "truth behind the myth" thing as the rest of the units in the game, and it wouldn't make any sense to have mixed units in the mythical tribe known for being entirely composed of warrior women. Are you even trying?

[@vanivanov9571]

@@Luca-sl7tb He is? He wasn't in the cinematic trailer, where he had short, cropped hair... you know, despite being a bleeding *_Achaean._* I didn't think the characters even took their helmets off in the game, and several people complained specifically about Achilles not being blond after its release. Based off the rubbish that is your reply on the Amazons being "truth behind the myth" by being, "EXACTLY like the myth," I'll take it you're totally clueless, and he isn't blonde and still has a stupid crew cut. Actually, I can't put it down to ignorance, since you knew there was no chance in defending naked giants and boob armour as, "truth behind the myth," so I guess you were just making something stupid up to defend CA. Hell, I just realized your username is even "Local Fan."

[@Luca-sl7tb]

@@vanivanov9571 Achilles is blonde in the game, if the hair is just too hard to see for you then you can still tell by his beard. Try looking before sounding stupid. Let's move on to dismantle your position on "Truth behind the myth". "Truth behind the myth" has been about inserting elements of the Greek myths into the game without going completely overboard, especially since the Iliad, the thing the game is based on, doesn't feature hordes of monsters attacking human cities and armies. Hence why the Minotaur is in the game, he has inhuman strength and is greatly powerful, but is not literally a half-man half-bull. "Truth behind the myth" is not an attempt at realism, as the half-naked, inhumanly strong minotaur shows, and that's why the Amazons as depicted in the game follow that same philosophy: they are a tribe of warrior women, Truth behind the Myth doesn't have to change as much about them because they're not monsters, just chicks. What is hard to understand here? If you're offended by boob armour in this game I would also suggest to drop video games, drop the internet and go back to church, this environment is way too sinful for your poor soul. Now, please, don't try to argue further as you clearly lack the intelligence to do so. Have a good day.

[@vanivanov9571]

​@@Luca-sl7tb Nice tantrum. Really, you're just throwing a fit and making stuff up, now. Achilles doesn't HAVE a beard in the game, he's practically clean shaven. Did you even play it? Beyond sounding stupid, you sound like an embarrassed child doubling down on a lie because of what an idiot you made of yourself. You want to talk about "dismantling the truth behind the myth" by describing it in the most weak, vague manner possible? Seems you don't have the guts or brains to try and contradict me, as my points or ANY points would work by your spineless definition. Truth behind the myth doesn't mean, "it's exactly like the myth," and you're a complete idiot or fanboy to suggest it does. You've basically tried to water it down to, "it's just fantasy," but without orcs, rather than it being a plausible origin for myths and legends which is what "truth behind the myth" ACTUALLY means. And oh boy... did you get your freak on for the boob armour. _"If you're offended by boob armour in this game I would also suggest to drop video games, drop the internet and go back to church, this environment is way too sinful for your poor soul."_ OK, before you were too scared to defend boob armour because you knew it would make you look like an idiot, and now you want to throw an absolute fit over it and look deranged...? Clearly, you're desperately and emphatically defending boob armour, a minor point I made about authenticity, which suggests a lot about you... but the absurd non-sequitur where you bring churches into it suggests you consider it a moral issue, which makes me question the nature of your fetish to be that defensive. I've never heard of a church complaining about armour in video games... are you so socially inept you don't know this is a feminist and realism issue? You're really such an idiot you didn't think to accuse me of being a feminazi? That, or you just have some weird thing about churches, which the talk about "sinful" boob armour seems to imply.... And of course, you beg me not to answer, since you know you're a complete loser and all your points are idiotic. You should've taken your own advice.

There are trailers on TW channel that show a high definition version of Achilles and you can clearly see his blonde hair and blonde facial hair. Please, I know, you don't, don't try arguing when you have no chance. "Truth behind the myth" doesn't mean fantasy and doesn't mean history, it's incredible that you're so stupid that you can't figure out what is a "middle ground" even after it has been carefully explained to you. Maybe you just can't read, or are too stupid? Either way, why trying to keep up a conversation that you can't follow? You keep harping about boobs in a game with the most unimpressive boobs there are. You have a severe issue with sexuality and women, I strongly suggest a psychiatrist.
