      You probably need to differentiate between Armor and Shield, like the Thracian Nobles actually have good Armor but no Shield.
      I think this is for multiplayer purpose, but Archers are usually good against some non-peltast javelin units due to low armor and shield, and Slingers have more ammo but slower dps for their missiles.

    Concerning the counters for skirmish-archer cavalry, I think Thureos Spears and especially Pergamon's Agema Spears alongside enough slingers or archers do their best. I used to be quite afraid of fighting against Nomads/Parthia, but they're possible to counter if you play your cards properly.
    I've acquired lately a great respect for skirmish cavalry; I used to think that units such as Tarantine cav were worthless, but playing lately as Syracuse I recruited some Thracian and Scythian cavalry to counter Massagetae and Khorasmii armies, and they worked marvelously. With good micro they can obliterate many units, although you must pay a lot of attention, given that the skirmish mode doesn't work properly and slower units can catch them.
    In addition to this, I think a great combo is a heavy spears core + long range missiles + skirmish cav to either counter or at least harass enemies' superior cav and infantry. Yeah, I think Ardiaei are actually good. I'm eager to start a campaign as them as soon as I finish my current one.

    • @FightMeTotalWar
      @FightMeTotalWar  Před 2 lety +5

      True! you should not rely on scirmish mode it never workes properly. I love ardiaei in multiplayer not sure how they are in campaign but sounds interesting!

    • @jacobrickert2417
      @jacobrickert2417 Před 2 lety +3

      Well here is my statement as a tournament player for landbattles for some of your tactics mentioned:
      - Tarantine missle cav is one of the strongest in the game because:
      They have 60 amor and wont die fast
      They have mele stats and will win against sheep horsearchers
      They have the same amount of pila then peltast and the same armour as them
      Tarantine are (used correctly) a counter against every horsearcher Unit and u can use them in mid game to get into the enemy archers -> Tarantines will win
      In late game u can actually charge with them into the rear of the enemy line if they have thrown all their pila. U should not use tarantines as a skirmish cav for its own but as a citizencav combined with a peltast unit.
      Secondly countering skirmish cav can be done in different ways:
      - In landbattle tournaments u see often very long lines with agil armies. The skirmish cav wont get the option to flank around cause the army is extended so long. In a normal average match u can counter them if u keep your vonurable targets in the middle of the army and send light inf or spearman on them to throw a pila volley (one good volley and half of the horse archer unit is gone).
      - The other ways are outrangingthem with slingers or archers and using your own Skirmish cav (mostly Thurso spears wont work, because the the skirmish cav just outranges them -> difference to lightinf: most players underestimate their speed and volleyrange)
      - Little tip: if the enemy is so confident to go with multiple horsearchers behind your army just cut them of with your normal cav. Most players wont react fast enough but with a good Mikro u can do it
      - Here again why the Tarantine are deadly af against bow skirmish cav: if u getting close to them and u can’t still catch up, but your pila volley will actually hit the back of the light horsearchers wherever they are shooting into your front (shielded side) of the Tarantines.
      Ardiae is played in pro tournaments, they aren’t bad and can be really strong.
      U bring (depending on the money normally 11.7k) 5 noble hoplites with them and a lot of pila throwing spearman.
      They’re strength is the armour and the pila capability. Because of there armour and there only ability to bring Tarantines as a good cav makes them predictable and nonagile in a battle. They will lose in multiplayer against heavylie swordbased factions with decent armour
      The combo u mentioned is one of the types u see often in average multiplayergames, in landbattle tournaments u wont find a lot of these lineups due to their lack of agility and the current meta is very much different to playing heavy Infanterie base

    • @FightMeTotalWar
      @FightMeTotalWar  Před 2 lety +3

      Yeah true about the tarantine cav they do be strong! Also a decent counter against missile cav.

    • @alejandrop.s.3942
      @alejandrop.s.3942 Před 2 lety

      @@jacobrickert2417 Concerning Ardiaei, ikr, they would be trashed by a good balanced swords army, I am simply talking about the kind of army I am going to set when I start my personal campaign. It'd work better for open field battles though, I must also think about a setup for walled city assaults. Wouldn't that setup work also for Sparta (heavy hoplites + tons of missiles support+ skirmish cav for mobility).
      I'm pretty sure that Thureos have the same range as skirmish cavalry and peltats (80), that's why even though their melee skill sucks I consider them one of the most crutial units of the game. If you refer to Horse archers, it's true that they outrange the Thureos (125), so the only way would be either 150 range units or try to mesa with enemies' micro and catch them, obliterate them with Tarantines as you said.
      Thureos can obliterate the naive cavalries which make the mistake to accept a missile exchange given that they fire faster , have more men per unit , shield value. That's how I usually defeat Eastern armies playing as an Hellenic, some kind of hedgehog which fires from everywhere and can deal with enemies' melee units. If you have seen a Swiss or Spanish square formation from the XVI century, it's something similar.

      @StopFlaggingVideos Před rokem +1

      ive been a medieval 2 player for years, and like all m2tw players i love heavy cavalry. theres no thinking involved, not even any flanking really, just charge them straight into infantry masses and watch the bodies fly. i also thought very little of skirmishers. i almost never recruited ranged, except for english longbows, i felt like crossbows were slow unwieldy and useless. yet i always heard that they were valuable for players online?
      rome 2 DEI has made me prefer skirmisher cav. there's nothing like facing unbreakable hoplite/pike units with heavy armor that can take on 4 of your units at once and not break...and then bringing up fast horses behind them to annihilate them with javelins. i suppose its the classical warfare of heavy infantry focus that really makes you appreciate skirmishers. m2tw is just heavy cavalry charges

    9 units of war elephants in front of my siege engines
    3 camel spearmen for chasing value
    2 scythed chariots to mincemeat any infantry
    And my general is a royal peltast, the only missile unit i have. I keep him near the siege engines for support.
    The magic happens pretty fast as my ballista drop hell from heaven early on, usually decimating nearly half of any force, and anyone who manages to make it past the rock drops are immediately faced with a buttload of elephants. I keep the flanks secure with my camels and chase any running infantry with my chariots.

    Hi there, playing mostly single player with the DEI mod (obviously), and I have a fetish for the greek cultures, and like to bring a lot of pikeman, but I have found out that while they a lot of power against other infantry and cavalry (as long as they come from the front), they are extremely week against missiles, especially javalins, how do I properly counter them? I talking mainly about the romans, with their awesome pilla, even if I win in the end, they still had snipped some of my men before the end of battle, and in DEI any loss is extremely painful, especially in foreign territory

      Place Holpites or other Tanky infanterie inside the pikemen, they tank the missiles and do the melee combat for the pikeman too and they are not so vulnebare for flank attacks anymore. Place them one unit line before the pikeman and they denfend them for the enemys who come through the phalanx and the pikemen still attack them from a safe distance.
      almost unbeatable.
      i take most of the time hoplites because they are really tanky and can if the flanks get attacked, kill horsemen etc. and if its sword or other hoplites u have the pikemen.
      i have in my army my general(Pikemen) 6xPikemen 6x Holpites, 6 Bowmen or stonethrower and 1x heavy meleecav to kill ballist etc or distract other bowmen to give time for my bowmen if they are weeker.
      with my bowmen and ca i go always go at first at the enemy bowmen etc and my pikemen and hoplites wait in each other (pikemen in phalanx, hoplites not) and protexct my bowmen and wait for the enemy.
      Now u have enough bowmen to kill the enemy bowmen and after that support ur pikemen and hoplites.
      very good army, in town defence almost every time win.
      in town defence, place ur pikemen like a V at the entrance and s
      tairs where they come and hoplites on the wall that they have to stay or have to go to ur prepared stairs and let ur bowmen shot the enemy on the wall from the ground.
      if theere are too many enemys that they are pushing ur pikemen back, place another unit of Holpites or pikemen (whatever u can or have left) on the prepared entrance in ur V and click mouse right every 3 second with ur pikemen in phalanx, now they push back an should erase the enemy.
      Have fun :)

    Pike wall is really that good, only weakness is ranged attack. Heavy pikes are pain to kill from the front, just don't bother. Bring plenty ranged or you have to be able to surprise them from behind. Luckily they don't move that fast in formation so you can largely ignore them until you deal with other units first. Then you can come back and deal with them last. Or you would need our own pike.

    I sometimes fight against a very difficult NPC in custom battle: I'm Sparta, they are Pontos and I struggle so much to defeat them. I gave them Pikes (a lot), two citizen cav so I have to bring at least two tarantien cav as a counter, four eastern bowmen, two of those very cheap axemen and an additional unit of spears. I don't win without sometimes pausing the game for micro management, if I take pikes, they get shot, I cannot win the missile fight so I tried it with maaany thureus spears but that wasn't easy either. While his pikes stay in line my non pikes of course break. The AI moves it's army to it's right side, so I can't get good positioning for the non shield side. In my next round I want to go for two spartan youths as meat wall and than like a acies duplex of Thureus spears with the first unit in square formation looking slightly to the right so it will hopefully will shoot more into non shield sides while due to the square I don't show my back/shield side to the enemy.

    Heavyspearman are so tanky for pila in every regular landbattle … u will lose time and amo on then and these heavy spearman will still get a lot of kills. Best way to counter them is by not engaging them frontally with mid tier units, but from sides or their back … or to fall back cause they get tired pretty fast. The second option is countering them with elite swords. But i strongly disagree with the missle fire.
    Second thing: It always depends on the map, the unitraster and the faction how to counter a special unit type.
    U missed out Countering peltast and also countering artillery.
    Peltast can be countered in general by light or mid Infanterie if used correctly or strong cav, but attention Peltast have armour and decent melee stats plus 7-10 pila Volleys

      Heavy spears are understimated. I actually have an strategy which takes advantage of this that you say: given that they've a really good armour, I have them as front line and let them engage first (also for preventing a shock cavalry rush). They can afford the pila and shock damage. If you have better melee but more fragile units, you can do a cyclo charge.
      For instance, let's say that playing as Carthage you put Carthagian Hoplites or Sacred Band first , let them take the first damage, and quickly retire them (after their own shock bonus has faded) whilst you get into melee your Noble Fighters, Lybian Infantry...I tend to do this as Carthage and Colchis (Kartli Axemen second line, Colchian Nobles first line) and it works great for me.

    Your presentation is incredible. You are very talented on this regard. However,
    Rome 2 is just an awful game. This video is just showing that armies in the game are worth little more than the sum of their parts. No opportunity for flanking with cavalry. Pikes are broken and it’s just an army building game, no tactics because they have little impact on the game. It’s almost entirely due to the ridiculous health point system. You may as well autoresolve every battle.
    Shogun 2, Med 2 and Rome 1 which actually let you use tactics and strategy with it being possible to have a heroic victory with an inferior force are infinitely better and have plenty of things to cover.
    I’d love to see you cover some of these incredible games.
