What I will write here and it's usage depends heavily on your style and how "fair" you like to play, so consider it an ultima ratio against the huns that works most of the time with most factions.ġ. The early reviews\comments are right, cavalry is king in this game. I couldn't rely on mostly infantry\archer\skirmisher army like I could in Rome2. I learned my lesson about unit composition and what those horse archers could do in conjunction with heavy onagers. Plus if you're constantly distracted trying to chase down the light horse archers outside the city, you may take your eye off the city or potential invading armies from the sea, so it's better to keep your line of sight within a smaller area.īut yeah, my first battle against the Huns was also using the Geats and being inexperienced against the horse units in Attila, I got completely hulk smashed (3 stacks vs 3 stacks). With the heavy armored horsemen, they're slower but if you take away their advantage in the open field, they'll eat up the light horse archers with little to no losses. Light horsemen can catch the archers but you will lose start losing them to attrition after each light horse archer unit rout. I usually move my cavalry out of range, outside the city at the beginning of the defensive siege and then send them down the various pathways once the enemy is fully committed to entering the city. I let them attack my cities and wait until they're trapped in the streets while my troops keep them pinned down on the ramps. It's a serious pain to chase down all their light horse archers in the open field while trying to dodge heavy onager shots. Oh! And is there any guide to the guides yet? I have started playing as Franks, since the Germanic tribes have much better ranged and good cavalry and infantry. The problem with this is he has really good tank infantry and Chosen Uars bring the pain plenty.Īdvice? Viking jav cav spam? Or more bows? Or just L2P? Should I rather focus on using higher-tier melee units, rush his infantry and then try to battle off his cavalry? I also thought that I should replace my cav with Viking raider cavalry, since they have missiles, and higher defence values. It seems as if a rather irritating solution is to try to recruit mercenary bows or levy them from clients, but this is irritating and not reliable. I have been using 3 nordic spears, 2 thrall spearmen, 5 Hirdmen, 2 axe warband, 3 Nordic raider cav, and 4 ranged (slingers/bows). Should I use the longer range (150), lower damage (38) Nordic bows to try to kill his cav off instead, as a priority? I have used slingers, since they have good ammo (12), but their less range (125) makes them less effective v the Huns than I had hoped. Problem is that my ranged selection is minimal. So, now I need help to beat each army one on one, either in ambush, if I am lucky, or just in light forest. I have been using ambushes (ambushed Attila (yay!), but he survived, though I wiped his army) and trying to isolate their hordes with multiple stacks, but they have more armies than I can counter. Please give me some advice on how to battle these types of armies. It seems the Huns are foils for the Nordic army rosters, since the Nords have no bows or ranged to match against the better damage, same range Hun archers. Solid pinning infantry, good bows and plenty of horse skirmishers and cavalry lancers. I can handle most of the other factions, but the elite carbon-copy Hun armies are tricky. I am playing as Geats (I am building up to Danes, which was my first choice, but I got kicked hard, so been playing Geats for now). 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.847 A Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai.This unit is immune to the fear effects of scary units. This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close. Improves a unit's attack capabilities for an extended period of time. The unit moves into a close formation and raises shields. The amount of detail on a sword was a sign of wealth, and many examples decorated with precious metals and intricate patterns have been discovered at Norse burial sites. As early as the 4th century AD, Norse skill in battle, and their mastery of the waves, was well known - along with an insatiable lust for blood and plunder! Of course, this approach made them very rich not just tools for battle, their weapons carried just as much meaning as status symbols. So successful were they, that their race emerged from the Dark Ages to dominate not just their homelands, but many other places - as far afield as Greenland and Russia. Like all successful tribal groups, the Nordic peoples were extremely warlike and developed strong naval skills alongside raiding tactics based on the traditional barbarian headlong charge. The term ‘Norsemen’, meaning ‘people of the North’, refers to the Germanic peoples who still inhabit the central part of Scandinavia today. "The toughest, bravest men the north has to offer."
