Legend will always seek out the nearest hill in this game, even if that hill is actually a horse. Firearm cavalry is some of the funnest stuff I've seen in FOTS.

[@KimmoKM]

Firearm cavalry in Fall of the Samurai is so fun to use: as you can see in this video, carbine cavalry has their tactical niches but revolver cavalry in particular is immensely satisfying with their ridiculous damage potential. Too bad I find it difficult to find a proper time and place to research the units.

[@Diego000793]

My thoughts exactly. Considering how long it takes to research techs, there's always the opportunity cost of researching rev cav or carbine cav instead of +2 happiness, +2 repression, kneel fire, suppression fire, all of the ammo for the navy and so and so. Hard to fit them in your campaign

The fact the defending units in a siege are unbreakable are one of the things I debate whether I think it's a good thing or not in Shogun 2. On the one hand, the 5 man levy units are kinda wacky, but on the other hand it kinda makes sense...

[@arya.n.8252]

Make sense here because they defend a castle or fortress, might as well fight till the last man

[@GLORPDORP]

I think they got rid of it in newer titles for gameplay reasons. The lethality of newer games is way lower, so unbreakable defenders in the keep would turn into a boring slog.

[@octavianmihu7861]

I mean, where would they run? The outside from where the enemy is coming?

[@machaiping]

In Medieval 2 and older titles *units can even become unbreakable in Field Battle* under certain condition! Namely, if you try imitating Sauron during the Black Gate siege in the third Lord of the Rings movie where his army completely surrounded Aragon's army with no escape path, then every unit in that encirclement not only become unbreakable, but they get massive stat buff for being completely surrounded on top of that where even Peasant unit will not break and can kill scores of Knight in Shining Armor you fielded before going down!

[@unmeclambda5837]

Isn't it only in the higher level of the castle that you get this bonus ?

[@abobobini]

13:08 to be fair, they were court-martialling themselves with that friendly fire.

[@Benjamin_Kraft]

My favorite range cav in any TW is the donderbus cavalry from regular Shogun 2. They are highly situational and finicky given their very low range, probably not a great choice in any army comp. But since they essentially fire small grape shots, you can instantly delete almost entire units if you get to line up a shot, which is very fun and rewarding. However, there's one context in which I found them actually useful. Dismounting them (don't tell Legend) in settlements and putting them on walls can be really effective, especially if you start with archers/matchlock and do the switch when enemies come into range. In higher tiered settlements with one or more levels of wall, they're also good to have on the higher levels, since enemies are instantly within range when they climb up.

[@marcusflutist1230]

I remember being ambushed by them in multiplayer. Two thirds of my Great Guard squad down in one volley

[@Cdre_Satori]

Having used cavalry mainly as rundown finishers I never saw much need for anything above revolver cavalry, but it is interesting to see them used like that.

[@xXBisquitsXx]

Carbine cav are great, although they have weaker melee stats to standard cav they make up for it with being able to fire a volley before engaging usually killing 20+ models. Plus you can use them to skirmish their flanks without being at too much risk and support the firing line from behind or the flanks with their carbines. Plus they are just as good if not better at running down fleeing units. The only downside is having to pay attention to them friendly firing each other which is why i tend to use them as mobile line infantry.

[@pablopablo3834]

Revolver cav are brutal in a fight because of rapid fire but their range is poo they are really good if units are already in combat and distracted and you essentially pull up to them and blast them. If a unit turns to shoot them they are dead though because of that garbage range meaning they are so close.

[@ajitae1460]

@@xXBisquitsXx also another downside is their tech is pretty late and the building took too long to make too, take about 20 turn until you can start recuit them and they arent that good, meanwhile you can research other tech like kneel fire and tech for amstrong gun - best tech in the game. even other economic /public order tech is much better than to research carbine cav, Line infantry + amstrong gun is basically doom stack so no need for researching barrack building unless there is no better tech

[@lolasdm6959]

@@pablopablo3834Revolver cav are ambush troops.

[@xXBisquitsXx]

@@ajitae1460 True but they can force the AI to attack your formation even when they are defending with artillery without taking many loses if you skirmish with them. So having a couple in your stack means you can nearly always have favourable engagements taking minimal losses. I've been able to consistently win battles with only 10s of casualties unless i messed up my micro. Whilst having a lot of artillery usually forces them to attack sometimes they decide to sit back out of range. So you have to move into range with your arty and start dueling with them, try to pick off units with your melee cav or attack them with your infantry all of which tend to cause a lot of losses to replenish. It is a late game technology but it definitely pays of if you use them right since they add a unique capability to your armies allowing you to fight many battles without needing to replenish.

This battle amply demonstrates why I rarely use carbine Cav. The friendly fire always does far more damage than the enemy fire. To get the best use out of them you ether have to deploy them in complete isolation or you'll need intense micro, focusing on them to the near exclusion of the rest of your forces.

[@Gitsmasher]

Put in isolation usually i do. I dont understand why in higher diffculty there are still so many clans using mostly traditional melee units.. so train some carbine/revolver cavs are just too much fun to miss!

[@TheArklyte]

It's a pity that due to lack of formation pathing in TW games after... idk, Med 1? Shogun 1 and Rome 1 had it. Anyway, it's a pity that due to lack of formation pathing the best masket line is two lines deep. IF fire from the knee is enabled. Instead of 4 ie 2x2 or even 6 ie 3x2 lines. Though the latter one would require a very skilled and organized unit to pull off irl. What I mean? The second(and third) pair of lines reload while the forward one shoots. Then they either retreat OR the line in the back advanced past them with reloaded muskets. So the best in terms of rate of fire formation would be this, 4(6) deep loose formation. The best in terms of volume of fire - still 2 lines, but actually tight. It's also best in melee as it allows the line to envolope tighter ranks of the enemy. And best against cavalry would be said 4(6) deep line that has enough ranks to actually stop cavalry charge with bayonets(not to mention that rider wouldn't risk it as one of the lines in the back may be already reloaded and take a shot at him when he appraches the line itself). Would have been cool to see formation pathing being enabled for more elite ie better trained units and depth of pathing ie 4 or 6 being influenced by skill level of the unit(giving player more incentives to protect their units in the long run) and slowly being disabled during combat as unit looses cohesion/morale/leadership. But that'll be some other franchise made by some other company😅

[@KimmoKM]

Empire had countermarch, kneel fire, fire and advance, and volley fire (platoon fire) firing drills. Of course the implementation could have been smoother and there could have been more to it, but it's sad that their ambition has completely plummeted since Shogun 2: Warhammer doesn't even have reloading animations....

[@zondor8123]

[@NRSGuardian]

The ability for mounted riflemen to fire over the heads of units in front of them is something I used a lot in Empire: Total War when I would use light dragoons to fire over the heads of my artillery to help protect them from charging infantry, plus if the infantry didn't break or get killed off I could charge them forward to keep the infantry from reaching the guns.

Hey Legend some advise: There is no reason to not activate guardmode on all ranged units at the start of the battle. Its my first move I do in deployment phase. Its really super important so guns continue firing even in melee Second thing is guncav is really special in Shogun2. All ranks can fire no matter how many ranks. However this applies ALSO to the unit being dismounted. After ur line inf basically was dead I had dismounted the cav units, as the way you deployed it caused some friendly fire which could have been avoided. The firepower stays the same. Fun thing is you can even use loose formation with them, unlike line infantry, so you can kinda use them like light infantry in other battles. Cause horses die faster too dismounted gun cav can be really good sometimes within ur ranks when you have limited space

What's your view on revolver cavalry? Used them for the first time. They seem pretty micro intensive and have very low morale and are poor in melee. However their firepower is so good they can completely wipe out units in a couple of volleys. IF they can get in a good position. Since they're so finiky and need a strong position to do their job i wonder if they're just a win more unit. They don't seem especially effective at causing routes, I'm not sure if they just eliminate the unit so quickly that it can't break and therefore doesn't inflict a morale penalty on nearby units? They also always seem to run out of ammo before the decisive point in the battle and then your left with a weak attack low morale cavalry unit. Maybe I'd be better off with another unit? Edit: it also seems they can't for over the heads of friendly units. Or maybe this is just when your friendly foot unit is engaged in melee. Keen to hear what everyone thinks.

They're melee killing machines, that's it. They're good at forest ambushes and fort assaults, but horrible in any situation where you expect them to take fire. Worth it in traditionalist campaigns, not really in modernist campaigns. Even in traditionalist campaigns, they probably shouldn't be the mainstay unit. Yari kachi and katana kachi do the job of being shot at much better, being cheaper and more resilient. If you're using them to hold the line and protect the gun units, they will horribly underperform and utterly fail every single time. They really, truly will not be worth the expense then.

If they aren't on guard mode, they'll keep attacking the unit you told them to attack even if said unit wanders into a different position (like out of the carbine cav's field of fire, or range), which causes the carbine cavalry to wander out of position.

Inspired to play fall of that samurai again but the game crashes half way through loading into a new campaign. Worked perfectly about 6 months ago. Fresh installed and updated drivers. Anyone experiencing anything similar?

Como le hace para tener tantos soldados en una unidad? Lo lo lógico es que tuvieras 120 soldados en una unidad pero aquí tienes 200 como le haces?

[@kagtkalem7115]

revolver cav or carbine cav which is better?

[@antoniodelaugger9236]

Revolver cav for an army meant for ending battles early and carbine cav if you're gonna be in a long scale battle (fighting like two enemy army stacks or more)

[@miskakopperoinen8408]

Carbines are more versatile, have greater total damage potential and due to longer range, need somewhat less killing power. Revolvers have *_MASSIVELY_* greater burst potential. Not even gatling kills as fast as properly placed revolver cav unit. They suffer from very limited ammo and low range. What you find better is highly dependent on how good you're at microing and how you prefer to play. I prefer carbines by a wide margin as I'm not all that great at babysitting the revolver cav and hate running out of ammo. Other people are better at managing their micro and like the ability to straight up delete a unit or two of their choosing in very short order more than the ability to slowly grind down a significantly larger number of enemies..

Why not attack genereal as usually?

[@miskakopperoinen8408]

There was no time. The artillery is deadly and must be the number one priority. Not killing it first was NOT an option. The infantry nearby was a time-efficient target of opportunity. By the time the infantry was dealt with, the cavalry had to rush to defend the fort and once there, they had to keep shooting to prevent the enemy from winning by capturing the flag.
