You should do a battle/siege 4v4 but where there is only 2 armies facing each other. So like one player controls just archers, the other controls just cav etc. Kinda like every player is a captain more than a general. Would be interesting as players will control smaller portions of the army and therefore give them the opportunity of better macros and different tactics. If you agree like the comment so Apollo sees it!

[@griffin_5979]

[@the_rover1]

@@gery8218 that's what I was picturing, yes. apollo often said to attackers to not spread out too much, stay close to each other, same goes for each factions' forces, don't spread them or split in parts. you will end up as fair game to sally out attacks, like that in this video. the AI in this game is barely responsive, holds position where retreat makes more sense and often just plain dumb. this requires strategies that will not work against human players, and will end in misery against experienced multiplayers.

@@the_rover1 Experienced player is a bit much like Napoleon Bonaparte and Erwin Rommel, defeat in detail. If you spread out your unit too much, they are just going to crush your forces one by one with local superiority.

Just played this map in a 2v2 and the stylers couldn’t make it past the walls area we defenders won but I only had my general and 2 archers left it lasted 40 minutes best siege ever

[@ChrisSmith-qx6wt]

It's a great example of the best defense is a great offense

[@ehudzechariahschmidt7036]

I agree with you that Boii made a mistake by not keeping his cavalry near his sally out. I think he should have at least pulled back his general to the city

[@imblue9009]

Not really a comment about the video itself, but imagine if you were able to combine drained units into one unit so as to replenish their numbers a tad (it would have to be a unit that is the same as the drained unit). An example being imagine there being half of a pikemen unit is left and there’s a half of another Pikemen unit left as well. You would then be able to have them merge with each other so as to replenish their numbers a little.

What do you recommend for players that are new to Total War multiplayer?? Faction? Style?

[@danielpowell569]

You have to learn certain factions strengths and weaknesses and use that to adapt to the other players factions (example: kush is really good against factions with high armour due to there shotels. Or how greek factions are great with spears and hoplites but not always good swords)

@@brooksdemontluzin4598 no problem. All you have to do is know what you have and does it go up against the enemy if not you should switch factions. Also good communication is always key to success

[@the_rover1]

rome is a pretty good faction to start with. it's neat in attacking, though is able to hold its ground as well, although there are better factions for attacking and definitely better factions for defending choke points.

[@LevCallahan]

I'm not sure where the idea came from that armor-piercing damage doesn't do well against lightly-armored units, or why it stays prevalent, because armor-piercing damage does just as much (and usually more) damage to less-armored units as armored. This is literally how the devs have described the mechanics. Yet we've got experienced players like Apollo and JoeOnit and others who still believe armor-piercing damage doesn't do well against troops without armor. Let me break it down: You've got a unit with 10 base-damage, and 35 armor-piercing damage, making the total damage 45. If fighting an armored unit, the base damage is negated, making the total weapon damage 35 instead. If fighting a unit without armor or little armor, the full 45 damage applies. tldr: Stop saying armor-piercing damage doesn't work against lightly-armored troops. That's literally false! 🤣

@@Elsneakakaze No you just suck at the game if you lose with them, they are difficult to use but not bad. Ive beaten kush tons of times with the Odrysian kingdoms because ive played enough games with them to know how to not die in 5 minutes. 6 or 7 Years ago when people actually played land battles and not just tons of sieges, people actually knew how to use factions how they were intended and what there strengths and weakness were. Sieges dont require a whole lot of tacticts and are pretty predictable so if you play it right then you can crap on any good faction with a "crappy" faction.
