A small hidden note on Yi Archers and Yi Marksmen that I found out after this video that both are able to fire whilst moving, which makes them significantly better than I thought they were. Not the most important trait to have, but it means their melee stats become even more important as they almost get a flanking role of sorts.

Hey SmartDonkey! I think I know why the archers are good in melee. The three generals you start with have very low cunning, meaning low ammo. I think the archers are expected to run out of ammo quickly, so rather than make them useless after that happens, then you can just send them into melee instead of just throwing them away for no reason. That was probably the idea behind them.

One thing I've found is that Liu Bei is the character that can best get away with capturing the Emperor. Capturing the Emperor makes the Han your vassal, but annexing Han territory becomes trickier. Where Liu Bei's special annexation mechanic allows you to keep the Han as a vassal, but still annex their territory.

Yi archers are great imo! Other archers become useless once they run out of ammo, even the more heavily armored ones. Yi archers on the otherhand can function as a flanking unit and could actually deal a good amount of damage doing so. As for the militia upkeep, it’s more of a mid/late game bonus when you have many army slots. I like having high tier units on a few “attacker” armies and the rest stay with high level militia, functioning as defensive militia armies.

Liu's unique units sounded indeed pretty terrible. I see the point of melee gunners because they can't shoot overhead and it's not easy to reposition them shoot from enemy's flanks without exposing them to enemy cavalry so melee after close quarter contact with enemy frontline instead of skirmishing retreat makes sense. However, for archers on the other hand, you want them to be constantly shooting throughout the battle or until they ran out of arrows, and I doubt these increased melee stats will be enough to allow them to handle cavs on their own in melee. I don't think CA will make another obviously OP unit like Foot Samurai ever again, so I doubt these Shu archers will be that...

One thing I have to comment about Yi Archer/Marksman is that they sounds like almost the copy of Foot Samurai from Shogun 2 Rise of the Samurai. And Foot Samurai is extremely overpowered there to the point that even if you config them for archery by recruiting them in the Province with Craft instead of Blacksmith they still inflicting heavy losses in melee when compared to Bow Samurai or Bow Warrior Monk in vanilla Shogun 2 game. I'm suspecting that Yi Archer/Marksman will not be that far off from RoTS Foot Samurai in practical performance.
@MrSmartDonkeyLP5 жыл бұрын
Nah, this is a completely different story, their melee stats are good compared to other archers but compared to actual melee units at the same cost, not so much. They only have a little over half the health too so they still die pretty fast. Foot Samurai in RotS was a melee unit with a bow, Yi Archers and Marksman are just archers with slightly better melee stats.

Calling Liu Bei poor is a historical misconception. He was poor when compared to all of his high born or the extremely wealthy peers (the Han version of Billionaire heirs) of the time. However, he was never subjected to living standard anywhere remotely close to peasantry. His wealthy highborn uncles regularly helped out his household expenses and procured and paid his education at Han China equivalent of Harvard and Yale. His household finance was basically equivalent of a disgraced aristocrat who eloped with some commoner but still gets handouts from his principle family discreetly all the time. Again, his upbring was only poor when compared to highborn lords with significant landholdings. He might perceive himself as a commoner due to the inferiority complex developed as a downtrodden Aristocrat lack of economic security growing up. Can't imagine he get many nice things said about him and his family growing up in schools for highborn lads. He basically got the "Jon Snow" childhood and, as a result, developed a "Jon Snow" mentality. The principle house of Liu Bei is the Imperial House by the way and his great grandfather is a emperor, so how poor can he truly be really...

Im dumb how do I see what units fall into the reduce upkeep and which doesnt... like everytime with these games they same a name but mot all the units can easily be identified as using that rank... for example I would have thought that the yi marksman and militia archers are literally the same type of warriors but one is an elite the other isnt.. how the heck am I suppose to know that yi doesnt make part of this but the others somehow do.. Is there a way I can see what each faction and each unit benefit from these type of bonuses without being a military hierachy genius?

Any unit that has "militia" in its name is reduced in cost, others aren't.

i guess armor clipping on mounts is still a huge problem even for AAA games....

Yeah, I thought about that too when I was recording that. Not really as big a deal in a strategy game with thousands of men compared to an RPG with only a handful though.

does Zhao Yun eventually join Liu Bei on his own or does it have to be a satisfaction thing?
@jetiphatpiamchamratkul1035 жыл бұрын
Trace Rawls I had the same question. But I just got him join up during my early game around my 20 turn. I don’t know the exact reason though, because I played Liubei in other play through for 63 turns but he never shows up yet.

joins on turns 8-28 randomly, after any battle. Might not join at all as it is all rng

Oh I had been told 2games only worked in Britain. So it does it work in the US?

Yeah, just change the currency to USD in the top left, or click the "If you're from outside of EU, click here".

Thank you sir, hope you enjoy the game, and more of these videos are in the works, currently writing the script for the Cao Cao faction overview.

If I use your discount key. Can I use the game in the US under steam?
@MrSmartDonkeyLP5 жыл бұрын
Of course, just make sure to change the currency to USD, otherwise it'll give you a EU key. Changing the currency will change the website link, but as long as you use my code I still get my commission and you still get your discount, so that's all fine.
