FIVE TYPES OF WALLS, WALLS (Pt. 1) - Game Guides - Rome: Total War

[@a2rgaming863]

You forgot the most impressive set of walls: Spartans. Their walls cannot be broken and they extend past the edge of their spears.

[@RocketHarry865]

Those walls did not hold at Plyos, Sphacteria, Olpae or at Leuctra.

[@andoniarmentia1024]

Pink pajama men can surely go through that wall

[@AndromedaPrima]

imagine a group of naked man with red cape holding better than any kind of walls

[@craigmason9893]

Yea all 500 of em

When Rome finally came a knocking those walls fell.

Shoot you're right. I messed up that's my bad and I'll make sure to address this at the start of walls part 2

[@jiachengwu4185]

Slience you dirty Thracian barbarian 😂

[@WandererOfWorlds0]

I prefer the level 3 walls over 4 and 5. They encourage the AI to assault with ladders, which makes them more vulnerable and the walls are not too high meaning that defenders can throw javelins down at the enemy. And if they do bring siege towers, those towers are small. If you have large or epic walls, the attackers will bring far deadlier siege towers that not only protect them better but they also fire artillery bolts which are far deadlier for the units defending the wall.

[@Charles-ve2yy]

Also the quality of your videos (all the walls in the same angle, all the details of the walls) is astounding, really shows your passion for this game

[@carlosc862]

walls level 4 and 5 are almost as high as the battlemap ceiling, thus, blocking your sight of the battle and are a pain in the ass. I always use level 3. They are good for defense and make you enjoy a sidge battle. I only wish there was a wat to destroy the walls on tactical map.

[@MrLogistician]

Onagers and heavy onagers can destroy walls

[@wnd9434]

@@MrLogistician that not what he meant. Any building like barracks, market or shrine can be deleted in a map and you get some money for it. But governor house, road and farm doesn't have delete button. But they are not annoying to you. Higher walls is annoying in battle. Also sometimes i use a strategy no walls at all as if besieged for too long more problematic that quick battle.

[@MrLogistician]

@@wnd9434oh, yea, I totally ignored the context of the sentence I was addressing. I dunno where my mind was lol.

[@Casketkrusher_]

I think you can edit some files to make them demolishable on the map. Never tried it though.

[@Casketkrusher_]

Or you can change the building tree so that the AI can't build beyond level 3. I think that's a more easier option.

[@christophep6650]

The best wall to have in your city as a roman faction is the stone wall, bigger walls will just lag the game xD I prefer the wooden wall when I play with the Greeks tho, whenever they rammed a hole in the wall, I just place a triangle pike formation on it, easy win XD

[@Hunter-py7zo]

True

[@BlueMatona]

Totally agree. Check out part 2 haha!

[@4everanarsenalfan]

BlueMatona I don’t like epic stone walls because the siege towers can destroy any units on the wall

[@brainwashingdetergent4128]

Your cities get attacked? 😂😂😂 noob.

[@user-mp3zf5td5q]

@@brainwashingdetergent4128 you play on easy? 😂😂😂 noob.

[@SkyWayMan90]

Epic stone walls are the best don’t @ me. Ballistas can multi-kill. Massive gates and walls will withstand catapults and elephants. Towers can take out rams and siege towers. I’ve even seen them destroy sap points. Just keep your infantry off the walls and mass them inside at the choke points around your city center. I’ve regularly defeated 800+ soldier full bar Seleucid armies with cataphracts, elephants, legionaries and pikemen with less than half as many soldiers. 60% of the enemy’s soldiers will be dead by the time they do combat with my actual troops. I’ve won battles I definitely would’ve otherwise lost.

[@Hunter-py7zo]

Thank you BM. I love the game since I was 8. You do good video. And I watched your latest video. I'm going to take my fav factions( Germans or Greeks) to Britan Isles.

[@BlueMatona]

Sounds like a fun campaign idea!

[@ramonruijgt4532]

Do a vid about unit veterany. Is it the same for every unit.

[@BoboDeTurno]

I recommend you to mention in Part 2 that sometimes it isn't worth defending your walls. When I play defensive siege battles, I address the situation, and according to the balance of power I try to hold the enemy on the wall and other times on the streets. Narrow streets + tower damage + fatigue usually do the trick. I also use my missile units in the walls to disrupt as much as I can the enemy army before they even encounter any of my units defending the path to the Town Center. What do you all think about this tactic? Could be considered a bit salty or as a kind of "exploity"? I sometimes think that it is a bit nasty as the towers shot dead many of the enemy troops. Nice video BlueMatona, waiting for the next one!

[@luisvieiracruz9676]

My tactic is kinda similar to yours. Usualy, when I am defending the city, I put my best infantary units in the narrowest streets near the wall towers and keep them on defensive mode. Then my archers (not fan of velites) go up the wall to shot everything they can before the enemy reaches the city. I "invite" them to take my towers (out of range for my infantary) and wait 'till they are fighting inside. When there is no longer foes on my walls, I recapture the towers with my archers and use them to fire at will in the back of the bastards that are fighting my bravest men down there. This should be enough, but I like to flank my enemy with cavarly and to kill the general when he stays alone on the battlefield waiting for their men to reach the town center. I kill him or make im rout and then I charge my enemies that instantly surrender. I like to call it "the funnel". It works well with phalanxes and with Rome. Arcani are perfect to regain the walls because they are a small and really fast unit, but you can do it with every single faction.

[@BoboDeTurno]

​@@luisvieiracruz9676 I pretty much do the same, with a small difference, I like to let the enemy general come instead of trying to hunt him down. When he charges my units in a narrow street and dies, it usually causes a local mass rout that is very easily extended to the rest of the enemy army. Phalanxes, even lower tier ones, are sooooo good in this strategy, so are hoplites. Still, I've never used Arcani even though I like them so much, they are formidable and have a nice look, I'll give them a go next time. Thanks for your reply!

[@FoXwiN33]

All yours videos are amazing! Very useful! I'm starting again with roman faction in very hard

[@BlueMatona]

I've played on VH, and honestly just didn't really enjoy the campaign too much. I found that the AI factions go out of their way to declare war on you, not expanding at all themselves and rather just sending stack after stack your way

[@FoXwiN33]

@@BlueMatona even when you play with another faction? Or just happens when you play romans faction?

[@aidanfionncastralleva5424]

I really suck at siege in this game unless I'm a defender so whenever I see a lvl 4-5 wall, I'll just send two death stacks of army and auto resolve the battle

@@hnaf9936 that would just break the immersion for me... I just give them the improved barracks, port, market... I think that balances them enough

[@xbox_cheeto5338]

@@Robbi_ this sounds promising, but probably also morale boosts. Barbarians could do well if it werent for their terrible moral where doing any amount of fighting that isnt straight on or short will make them run for the hills. the idea of low armour high pierce armies sounds neat for many of the barbarian factions but due to this terrible morale you can't really take them seriously sadly unless playing against AI

[@andergustafson6664]

you got thrace wrong, they can build stone walls and beyond, they may not be able to get epic stone walls but they do have stone walls

[@katsoro]

Epic walls are actually not that good because the attacker then has access to giant siege towers with their own powerful ranged attack.

I wish that higher the tier of wall then more points it requires to build siege towers
