It's just practical. In war there's just one goal, to win. Legend has made it his expertise to recognise what it is that one has to do in order to achieve victory both on a tactical scale and on a strategic scale. If I was CA I would build an AI model around the vast wealth of data Legend has provided over the years. When it comes to total war he really is a master. Imagine a disaster battle where Legend fights an AI that is based on himself.

One thing about being mercifull is that it is still worth to capture as many enemies as possible, because it gives experience to your units, and gives extra chivalry, so even if you are roleplaying chivalry, you want to run down all dem peasants.

Pikes are actually the best units in the game when they work properly. Speaking of which, if you double up units of pikes, in three or four ranks, leave them off guard mode, and periodically give them a halt and then an attack order half a second later, you’ll find they work quite effectively. The halt order makes them put away their swords and take out their pikes you see, and when they are doubled up they are absolutely deadly. If you prefer it can be easier to use them to double up with feudal/chivalric knights, with the knights in the front rank to prevent the pikes having their formation disrupted. The same also works with halberds.

Personally i've found Pike And Shot to be weirdly good at dealing with horse archer armies like The Mongols and Timurids, especially during a siege if you decide to sally out. The pikes plus some swordsmen keep the horsies from charging, and the arqs (or better yet muskets) tear through their armor well enough, obviously cannons are great for taking down their sabs or trebuchets or elephants, but of course keep a good company of cavs, knights, and a ton of crossbows (if you can) with you. I personally like to keep a unit or 2 of Mailed Knights as light cavalry to run down fleeing enemies and suicide charge into their artillery.

Yeah, M2TW is frustrating for that. You're incentivized to just swarm enemies early game with bad tier 1 units and then snowball out of control. By time mid/late game comes around, it doesn't really matter because your empire is so big you can just keep spamming bad units. But it's not satisfying to just have peasants vs peasants. So instead, you try to play slow, and your 3 neighbors constantly attack you after like turn 10, along with Milan, Sicily, and Denmark, for good measure.

A note that this isn't true pike and shot as the shot isn't working within a massive square of units which the shot can retreat into. This is pike and shot in the same way that longbows and men at arms with polearms is pike and shot. And no, shot doesn't refer to guns specifically. "Shot" is any type of projectile. This is why medieval commanders would say "shoot" when telling archers to loose arrows, not "fire" as is often seen in movies! For anyone looking to fix pikemen, you need not remove their swords in the files, but rather raise the melee attack of their backup swords as well as increase their melee defense stat enough that they can survive being swung at. When the front ranks aren't being mulched, the pikes in the back will continue swinging properly and this way the unit can still be flanked and destroyed like you would want it to work

i mean, with how shitty unit collision is in the "modern" total war games, it would make a lot of sense to just make a heavy gunpowder era game. lots of guns and artillery, range fighting where unit collision be a non-factor

It’s crazy how much better the battles, particularly cavalry charges, look and feel in this game compared to later total wars. I don’t know how to explain but it’s more like each unit is a “group of individuals” in this game whereas later each unit feels more like a high viscosity liquid.

@mekumotoki 10 ай бұрын
it's because every unit really is an individual and has to find his own path and fight his own battles. CA removed all of this and relegated all the simulation to under-the-hood math mechanics. nothing that actually happens in the newer games on the battlefield matters, but in med2 frontline dynamics actually depend on the density, formation and positioning of soldiers. it feels like its from the future even though its an entire man's age now

It’s the last total war game where cycle charging isn’t severely punished, which drives me nuts for more cavalry-centric games like Attila. The whole hit box detection and heavy reliance on set piece animations of the war scape engine ruined everything.

Blame Empire: Total War for this. For whatever reason, when they expanded the engine for the game (or remade it, idk), they made it so units can only engage with one other unit at a time - this works for pikes and such, as well as for the stereotypical "honorable" samurai battles, but every single TW game has had to suffer the consequences of this change since. Warhammer has some workarounds iirc, but one of the biggest reasons missile units are so good against single units is because the whole unit can attack it at once instead of like, one or two dudes. In Medieval 2, it's the other way around. Low quanitity units often are harder to hit with missiles due to innaccuracy (tend to wear missile-resistant armor too), and often get totally swamped by hordes of peasants because 5 guys can attack 1 dude at a time.

@@bladfadsfblaadsfsadf900 Well, Medieval 2 has some great set-piece animations of walls crumbling, gates smashing, and buildings/towers collapsing. The problem is set-piece animations on the pawn level... although it's a symptom of core changes to how the engine handles combat, not the cause.

The older games had soooo many little things that made them great. Generals give epic speeches before battles like you're watching a Ridley Scott movie, and they can change drastically depending on what traits they have. A sickly coward will not give the same speech a bloodthirsty madman will give. Agent cutscenes are also greatly missed. Assassination failures genuinely had some laugh out loud moments.

The game encourages you to be evil, it’s far more rewarding. When you raid settlements it only gives you 3 options, occupy, sack or exterminate the population. If you choose the third option, the whole city will practically be murdered and the city will be left smoking for a whole turn. your general will be considered a cruel leader which improves moral and dread, elite units with experience can break any unit without giving them a fight

So long since I played Medieval 2 I forgot what a great game it is. I have it on Disk and have no Disk Drive so I just bought it on sale yesterday. All I can really remember is that naval battles are auto resolve only. I don't think I ever got to play the LoTR mod which is why I wanted to play it again.

Search "medieval 2 credits music" and you will see that this pre-battle music is just a soundtrack of a song that plays after you beat the game and its actually anti-war song and a very good one at that, not to mention composer's wife is the one singing.
