Can Sughdian Warriors Beat Cataphracts in OG Rome: Total War?

[@he4620]

I did not expect Sughdians to withstand so well against Cataphracts

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Yea, that was rather impressive. The ap attack is no joke :) Thanks for the comment.

Neither did I! I was surprised by that.

[@alexandertouma5588]

Because, armor piercing.

[@TheKOB2010]

Sughdians: We did a pretty good job. Judean Zealots: Hold are Menorah.

[@qualityoldgames7721]

:D Thanks for the comment.

[@grantrobinson5046]

They put up a better fight than I expected admittedly, good infantry for the sassanids

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Agreed on that :) Thanks for the comment.

All pajama boys have a sughdian warrior poster in their bedrooms to look up to

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Indeed :D Thanks for the comment.

[@rorschach1985ify]

Sugidians, or Shogdians, are underrated chads when it comes to heavy Infantry, who are only slept on in BI because the Sassanid's cavalry is even more overpowered.

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Thanks for the comment. Yea, who needs good infantry when one has op cavalry? :)

[@Agent1W]

@@qualityoldgames7721 Well, you may need infantry for sieges...

[@rorschach1985ify]

@ Exactly unlike the Parthians who needed cheese tactics to even win those, the Sassanids have viable ways to just siege a settlement without throwing bodies until the enemy is tired or tricking them into field battles.

[@qualityoldgames7721]

@ A good point :) Thanks for the comment.

[@isaacgund7550]

I think it was close enough with the cataphracts that a 5 v 5 may be in order..

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Thanks for the comment. I will add that to To-Do list :)

A Cataphract vs a Sughdian is basically West Iranic vs East Iranic.

[@Agent1W]

West is best, east is beast.

:) Thanks for the comment.

[@idontlikerome2744]

Wait hang on House of Jul...man these Sogdians came a long way from their homelands to serve Rome but no matter Mother Rome welcomes all who fights for her glory! Love their design since i was little, pretty surprised how they fared against some of these cavs 👌

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Thanks for the comment. Yea, a really solid infantry :)

[@Agent1W]

They're just like dismounted Catas.

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Agreed on that :) Thanks for the comment.

Clibinarii vs Roman Infantry (Shooting all ammunition before charging vs not shooting)

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Two best troops already tested - links below :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml6wkJqDo7dml8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2aYnH-VjpmsfJY Thanks for the comment.

BRO how i can do it? put a unit from expation to vanilla? tell me please

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Thanks for the question. ToNerdIsToHuman has made a guide for this. Just google his channel and how to add graal knights :)

[@faunoinglish-sr4qy]

@@qualityoldgames7721 Thanks bro, please make a video where you compering all of best infantry from the vanilla game or you have that one in your channel?

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Thanks for the comment. I have this "how good is" series for vanilla Rome as well. Link below. Perhaps it could be what you are referring to :) kzbin.info/aero/PLzgwn6yANNZye_0vo4KLQNB8Tifb7pcJm

[@rudi8192]

They can make more than one charge, not accurate

[@rorschach1985ify]

This has nothing to do with accuracy dude. The test started out to see how well the units respond to a single charge of cavalry without charge cycling so he keeps doing that to stay consistent.

[@qualityoldgames7721]

Thanks for the comment. Yea, agreed, that would be the case in "real game". But in this test, it has been consistently only 1 attack :)
