The best light skirmish cav in the world straight into massed infantry, what could go wrong. Although the same genius also put the artillery as the front line so I'm not sure why I was expecting even a shred of some kind of tactics, maybe because of all the highly experienced military commanders who were present but apparently afk.

At 7:07 the comments regarding loose formation archers being worse is true as the way total war has archers shoot is generally going to lead to fewer archers shooting if a unit is spread out. The guys in the front are now significantly closer to the enemy and that pushes the guys in the back out of range, so the entire unit wont shoot all at once. In some games only the guys in range shoot while the rear men are idle out of range. In other games the unit will not shoot at all and wait until everyone is in range to shoot, which this is common when advancing (are click attacking a unit), letting the enemy chew the front guys a bit. I have seen loose formation work better if you make the unit very wide to minimize the front to back range difference issue, which if you have a too ranged heavy army leads to spreading out too much as your front gets massive compared to your back lines or the enemys shooters in range. This is diluting how many man are firing and making your army less effective and allowing a form of defeat in detail due to having too much "surface area" in your frontage. With gun units it leads to the issue of a unit with fire by rank on waiting slightly until the units in the rear have the enemy in range, so sometimes a unit not firing by rank will shoot immediately when the front is in range while the opposing unit in fire by rank will wait until the enemy is slightly closer to realize they can shoot. It is is an edge case but can be the decider when you need to preserve manpower for a protracted shootout as whoever shoots first gets an edge in total guns still firing. As a caveat this issue feels less important with smarter AI in newer total war games but remains there in one way or another.

The only sad part about medieval 2 is that the late units are absolute shite. The pikes are rigid and stop moving in combat, so you end up with two pike formations which are touching diagonally just standing there and not engaging. Also Arquebusiers have a tendency to move slightly backwards in a fight. Which creates problems in sieges. Like squashing up against the building behind them.

Hello LegendofTotalWar, I have been watching you for years. I love your content, it explains in detail the way the games work and you often go into the way the mechanics work in great detail. Despite all of that, I often find myself discouraged from trying the harder campaigns myself, or any at all, for the fear of losing or feeling like I'm doing everything wrong. I'm not sure if there's a solution but I wanted to throw it out there anyway in case you have something to say for someone like me.
@EinFelsbrockenАй бұрын
I may not be legend, but if I can paraphrase him: Start with campaign difficulty on easy; but with battle difficulty on hard. That way you will learn the game without the AI being too aggressive. Then; once you got used to that and feel ready; bump campaign difficulty up a bit :) You say youre discouraged from trying "harder campaigns"? What do you mean with that? If you mean the warhammer scenarios; then my knowledge is quite limited; I only played WH1+2 somw years ago, and dont remember which campaigns were hardest.. I personally recommend starting a M2TW campaign as England to get the hang of everything. Uhhh; sorry for the spam to this old comment xD I just hope you still give TW games another chance :)

the announcer in Medieval 2 seems very confusing, because it felt like he was calling out battlefield conditions for each individual army rather than the whole balance of power. Which, I guess does make some sense but it made it seem like you were doing way better. like, yes the enemy lost half their men but that's only 1/8th of the enemy force :P

New veiwer here, I've seen a couple of your videos especially the MTW2. I have to disagree with your opinion on cavalry. Sure crusader cavalry or late tier chivalric knight equivalent can be devastating to infantry. But it has to be a massed charge with ALOT of cav. AI typically typically handle units poorly anyway, and if your infantry have decent longbow or crossbow cover all you need is like three or four units of cavalry in your armies. Where calvary is devastating is in the flanks. Historically the french learned the hard way about why not to charge with cavalry headlong into a prepared opponent

Question to the respected Legend of Total War: I once found myself in approximately the same situation as the person whose campaign is shown in the video. I fought back, but the enemy, who at that time had only one province, systematically sent similar armies at me every turn, despite an empty treasury. How was this even possible?
