SEASON 13 - NEW ROMAN UNIT TESTING - Conqueror's Blade Gameplay

I wanted a proper Roman legion unit that could throw javs, and be a good shield unit, sigh.

[@ilu9170]

i wished they mix the t4 and t5, so the shields throw javs before charging in with there shields like the romans acually did

[@menaceflame]

I agree with this I was even disappointed with this. I thought they throw javs too. And also why they put charge as a skill in fact this is not a Roman fighting style!

[@Jixxor]

Well they aren't legionarii and are half naked, them not having javelins to throw seems reasonable. Of course I'd much prefer having actual legionarii instead of these goons to begin with, and give retiarii the ability to throw nets on enemies to slow them down or even root them in place.

[@ashoc0]

Yeah not roman army season just roman gladiator season

[@sorking6]

Yeah, i wish we would have gotten roman legionarii, such a disappointment becauso of the potential this season could have had…

dont get me wrong gladiators units are GREAT but they could have given us one or two gladiator units and some legionaries. Damn that would be so cool

@@menaceflame They can charge because they arent Romans, they are gladiators so can do what they like.

[@IsfetSolaris]

As an isg main, here's what I'll say about the new t4 shields: in formation, these guys rock. However, there are a few problems. 1: they don't output as much damage 2: they are less tanky overall 3: there are gaps in their shiels, especially in schiltron, and so they will be worse against arrows.

[@Jixxor]

Funny thing. When you ask people what comes to mind hearing 'Roman Legion', many will think of the famous testudo. A formation so effective against enemy missiles that people thousands of years later still know of it. And then in CB they are the worst tower shield unit to defend from missiles. Sums this game up so well.

[@melt6894]

If u maining isg I implore u to stop. This game does not care about heavy shields. This game only cares about creating an op unit to get spending, and then the next season they create another one. They have no idea what balancing is. First cavalry, then reapers, now Vikings. They do not care

[@thetrav2100]

shields are good, you haveto understand that when u take shields your main job is to soak dmg and die for your team, and cover them, so, they are very usefull and helpfull in alot of places, take shield of the capital for example on attack when u can rush the walls with heavy shields, setup falcos and artilery and clear the A point very quickly. just expand your tactics and mindset and there are alot of things like that that the game consistently has happen, mainly because they buffed isg's, so id say they care idk man

[@melt6894]

@@thetrav2100 bro I think u are being delusional about shields. They have no role in this game. If you think hiding in the back and soaking up arrows is helping the team you aren’t thinking right. They don’t defend shit. 1 maul is enough to deal with any shield unit. Every single melee unit with a big weapon can beat them. Fucking peasant charges can knock them down. There is a reason no one brings them. You don’t contribute anything if you can’t be at the front line with shields. Expanding my mindset? By that you mean reducing my options to sitting in the back instead of taking a meta unit and actually killing the enemy.

[@melt6894]

@@thetrav2100 if u so even think about trying to push with shields, by god you are just giving them kills. Block is a joke, the only defense is CC imunity + rediculous amounts of CC and damage. Just look and beserkers, Varangian, and shields maidens. Shitty def stats on paper. All they do is stun, be immune to cc and swing their shit randomly and that gives success. Shields just melt

[@outofigns8742]

retiarri in roman history are supposed to have a weighted net to trap opponents with, would have been nice to see it implemented

[@Jixxor]

Yeah. Turn the T4 idiots into proper legionarii, give them 2 javelins to throw, and change the retiarii javelin to nets they can slow or root enemies with. I'd prefer that.

[@Jixxor]

The new T4 shields should be much more tanky for how little damage they do. However, high armour would make no sense with their basically naked appearance, so maybe they need more health to compensate for it. With the different ways to be immune to CC, they should not be allowed to have (much) more damage than currently, because then we'd just have PG that are not limited by their reliance on a brace. The theme they went with fits a properly armoured legionarius much better. Their whole identity feels like what Roman veteran legions were famed for: standing their ground against all odds and holding the lines in ridiculous situations. Look up Caesar's 'adventures' with the 8th, 9th, 10th and 12th legion and you get the idea. The CC immunity when forming a shield wall and after a charge is exactly how I would have imagined legionarii to behave in Conqueror's Blade. But a legionarius must be an absolutely immovable object on the battlefield. Them dying to T3 gladiatores is insulting. Of course Roman legionarii were not just good at defensive combat, as proven many a time, but since this is a game and I like balance I think it is reasonable to give them only one, therefore very strong, role to fulfill and going for absolute tanks seems appropriate given their CC immunity. But alas, half naked sorry excuses of a Roman is all we got and I am effectively just ranting I guess.

[@PoshRaven]

Wow, the devs missed a huge potential with the Retiarii since they're going with gladiators. Instead of giving them javelins, the Retiariis should have been given nets, as real gladiators did back then, to throw that would be able to ensnare enemy heroes and units.

[@SABER_Knight-King]

They explained in a stream why they didn't do that, because players complain that there is too much cc in the game & if they went with the net it would be more cc on top any other cc we already have & that would make things even worse & players to complain even more.

[@GamingDualities]

soudns balanced

[@PoshRaven]

Then why use that type of gladiator when they're known for their trident and nets? Seems silly to me that they didn't give us something else instead then

[@dexasmoru8333]

@@PoshRaven exactly. It's like they give no fucks. They planned on making a javlin unit with a net cc. and the audibled during devolpment.... but it was a lazy audible, they could of easily just but armor on this unit, gave it a shield and changed the trident to a sword. bam legionaire. they had swords and javlins.

[@cade3490]

I'm more annoyed then I should be about not having legionnaires. Missed chance not having them as the 4 or 5 star

[@thetrav2100]

good thing this is still subject to change i know they will listen to the player testing and feedback everyones given and adjust them. for them its better to start making them under powered then slowly buffing them until they are good just to be safe

[@dlsgusting685]

the t4 unit should have like a shield bash ability that ignores cc immunity and knocks down enemy units since they do literally 0 damage

[@klaasvaak2575]

hm, shields were already in a bad spot and now we get even more burst units. Cmon devs people that play medieval war games want to see big beefy fights, we already got zerkers(burst), varangians(burst), more ranged, more cav. Yes we also got greyhairs, thankyou for those and yes shieldmaidens are also shield (sortof). But this season we getting 2 more burst and 1 shieldunit that stuns everything in front of it (which as we all know only enables more squishy burst). With all this burst we need more damage reduction units that are a somewhat counter to all those burst units so the enemy can't just deathball with burst and run all over you but actually has to think.

[@menaceflame]

I super agree with this devs are bunch of shitty burst porns

[@witoldwosinski9391]

If I read correctly, jav throw of Retiariis carry through the enemies in the horizontal line, so in theory jav damage against coordinated push could be considerable. Taking under the account that throw could stop charge it could tip the fight. Shields might have weak attack but I think it's not their role. Considreing the fact they have a charge with throw enemies back they could do some considerable CC. Then into shield wall (where they have a push back as well) they could protect back line just right. I think we would have to see how they all perform on the siedge.

[@budrothefox3666]

Thank you for making this vid. Unfortunately I have been feeling like conqueror's blade is super broken lately. I feel like units do not perform as intended. Seems like in certain scenarios with lots of units especially, the game breaks and all the damage goes through for one side and not the other. My tier 5 Varangian guard or iron reapers will get instantly deleted which in an infantry fight should not happen. And not always in favor of my enemy. sometimes i will have a similar fight and my unit will completely wipe the same enemy units that I just got deleted by. My point is all this unit testing is for nothing if the bugs in game prevent consistency in game interactions. It's quite unfortunate. I think a serious overhaul of server stability and performance as well as animation reworks to smooth out bugs is desperately needed. The game needs a health update instead of new content.

[@Jixxor]

The worst thing about issues like these is that you can never be sure it's not just MyGames' cheap garbage servers that are responsible for this - unless you play on Frontier of course. It's very much possible that the server just doesn't register or process one unit's damage output properly, because I think I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes my units make contact with an enemy unit, I activate the damage ability and completely evaporate the enemy in the blink of an eye. Then in other situations I do exactly the same, but my unit scores no kills at all and gets eaten instead. It's odd how the same action should result in so drastically different outcomes. What I noticed is how often, my units are just not aggro-ing on the enemy that they stand right in front of, and instead turn around to a stray enemy unit or hero passing by resulting in them not using their ability on the enemy. Unit control being very clunky and MyG's servers being very bad just doesn't produce satisfying results in many situations. Back when the game had no fancy abilities, just charges and basic attacking, this was less of an issue. But with most new abilities requiring the unit to acquire their targets on their own (like IR Tiger Step, Condotierri Shock Attack or Sons of Fenrir's Beast attack) you are completely out of control. You can only move close to an enemy, activate their abilities and hope for the best. But if the unit targetting fails you, because unit AI is terrible, you are effectively unable to change anything about the outcome.

[@yuchenyang1708]

With VG, never draw axes first, wait for the enemy to draw axes first, tank the first swing then immediately use 2. That’s how you wiped them. But yeah their dmg is just brokenly high

[@venuslippe9132]

i dont have any problems like that

[@havalinachiel7694]

exactly so , especially if your machinery ( pc ) ain ´t that new this game is very flawed . Imagine waiting for accessibility like 10 minutes . Not downloading , but loading a map , so : Server Log in , character selection and ´til you are on that map and everything has been rendered and I don ´t know about the technical term , it could even be as bad as 10 min . No problemo . And so yes , I think that ´s always the same question , will there be improvements to make this game a little bit better ( it doesn ´t have to be top notch ) , but no . benchmark title never play on patch day and then this old thing , never go for mmo if the community is somewhat " way too serious "

[@jhonnydasbr5367]

I dont see it happening, server dsync always have been there, and the cross server matchmaking, im pretty sure, makes it impossible to have a dsync free experience.

[@ABitofBanter]

I think with the shileds they would have to be combined with one of the other units to be most effective. The shields could charge and maybe the dual sword guys could flank .

Yeah thats true, in combination with other stuff they could have a use

they should give them spear's they can throw for more offensive capability because we already have enough "only shield" units and the ISG's do a good amount of damage for their purpose

[@jhonnydasbr5367]

They messed up hard, in my humble opinion, by not going with Legionaries. Im coming back after a couple years off. Was scrolling down the updates and saw the Colosseum season, and immediately thought about heavy legions. Something makes me thing they would have "copyright" problems. Who knows, maybe CA owns the "Legionaries" name, appearance, etc, xD i dont know, just speculating. But a let down for me. Good video, Evo.

It could well get altered before it gets released, hopefully they increase the attack damage a little

[@MrVlad12340]

I am not super excited for this season mostly because while it has some cool units those are nothing new or too exciting. Because for example if you have any purple shields, sons of Fenrir and maxed out javs… Yeah it kinda redundant. Only unit i am remotely interested in are Retiarii but only because they are a golden era jav unit. Others are just no bueno, at least so far. Maybe they fix them later.

Creating a Chinese Cavalry that use Pole Axe deal High dmg but very slow cavalry. Creating a Praetorians of Roman not only having the ability of Tuxedo and Good fighting ability. Creating a German Barbarian that use broadsword tear through enemy line using Barbaric Charge and Brutal Death skill that give them ability of berserk. Creating Egyptians Chariot that use Bow and have ability of Charge. Creating Shogun Samurai that we always hear at Expetitions saying KOKO MADEKA....this haunt me everytime go play. here is plenty way to creating good unit, only they need some tips.
