You can make matchlock units fire earlier in ranked fire if you order them to shoot a unit outside of their range instead of waiting for them to shoot when ready.

[@TotalWar1vs1]

You're right! I've tried as you said and it worked perfectly. Thanks a lot bro!

[@TotalWar1vs1]

@Tranhoang Long 👍

[@Orendiz]

@Tranhoang Long Tercos are an exception because of their high melee stats. But for all other gun units you don't want them to reach you for melee. So shooting early even if less accurate is better since you get 1 extra volley that makes up for it.

[@TotalWar1vs1]

@Tranhoang Long Chuẩn rồi bác 👍

[@Jixxor]

@Tranhoang Long 1:15 the Samurai come into firing range. 1:30 first row fires their first shot. That is literally 15 (FIFTEEN) seconds of idle time. Easily at least one more full volley from the whole Tercos unit.

[@JonatasAdoM]

What a battle! The delay before they fired was out of a movie! It was just when two armies stood facing each other, waiting for the other side to attack first. The comments are complaining about the delay, but the Terços fired all their shots and they wouldn't have had time to reload any otherwise. Even better, the delay allowed them to fire at almost point blank, greatly improving their accuracy.

I just ask a Portuguese and learned what happened to Portugal and how they lost their world superpower status. (Earthquakes on Lisbon, Battle of Three Kings and Succession Crisis, Inflation caused by spending the state wealth for trivial things) Wth happened to Spanish?

There's a charm to this game that I can't explain

[@Warmaker01]

Shogun 2 is the last Total War game that gave the full spectrum of experience. Traditional style combat with melee and ranged weapons. Pikes, swords, bows. But it even gave gunpowder units. You also had naval warfare. Fall Of The Samurai added even more, to include mid-19th century naval advances. In addition, gunpowder units worked right in Shogun 2, while CA had immense problems with them in Warhammer Total War. Naval warfare disappeared.

This would have been more one sided if the Tercios had their Pikes.

Using pikes would have meant fewer arquebuses. It would merely help against cavalry. But yes, why not add a terco pikemen unit ?

[@kingwolf9447]

Its funny how much of NTW is used in Shogun 2. When cavalry charges into a unit, its the same or slightly pitch changed yelling voice in Shogun 2 as in NTW and likely ETW for cavalry units, and this applies to both FOTS and standard Shogun 2. And the Tercos use the same drum and fife music as in NTW and maybe ETW, despite lacking any musicians in the unit. They also have no general or officer character for the bottom left.

[@TotalWar1vs1]

👍

[@simonnachreiner8380]

The tercos actually use recycled assets from FOTS. A lot of audio in DLC is often asset flipped.

[@Warmaker01]

Man, I had my doubts about the Tercos because of how late they got their volleys off. Even then only 3 total. But they still won.

[@TotalWar1vs1]

Hmm, I think Tercos won because they held their fire until very late. As you can see, their 2nd and 3rd volley were almost at point-blank range, so they could kill many more enemies than firing at maximum range.

Tercos shouldn't be rather spear units? In XVI age 70% Tercos were pikemen.

Also imagine how OP would be tercos then. Oda long yari ashigaru with samurai stats and 8 armour that use guns more superior than matchlock samurai have. It has literally no weaknesses and can be barely countered. That's why CA used sword variant. Also you was referring to Spanish tercos, while we are dealing with Portuguese one. They were mostly used to guard ships and colonial trade points. Most of them weren't pikemen (because it's not the most suitable weapon for crewmen or city watch guard)
