Dude. Every player who enjoys playing online could learn a lesson from you. Instead of just raging at every new/bad player you come across, you decided to make a tutorial series on UA-cam to educate the base into how to not only play the game toe-to-toe with better players, but to play in a more satisfying and exciting way. Good on you, man. Really appreciate this.
Don't make a lot of cavalry, have few fortresses, don't hire too many mercenaries and invest in farms and mines. Also, trade goods are worth more the farther away from your capital they are.
Thanks for the guide. I am finding this late, but is still useful. Legend of Total War on youtube hyped me up to play the game again. This series is a solid start for new or returning players.I have been torturing myself for a while with good sucess on hardest possible difficulty in RTW 1 and Warhammer 2 TW, but i enjoy the theory crafting behind your videos.
You should get guest stars for your tutorial videos. Friedrich for pikes tactics, Apollo and Lavernicus for siege ect. Will be nice to see their tactics exhibited for the various uses of certain units. This looks like it will be interesting. I hope it helps a lot of newer players.
You can probably put some figures and photos from games (does not know if you have the video skills to do that). Anyway even as an experienced total war player, I liked a lot. Maybe you can expand talking about merchants, princess, etc.
did you know artillery are the only units that can take out 3 divisions of either skirmishers or infantry in a single second. its true, if your enemy positions all their units the walls, aim 5 culverin at the wall and watch 3 divisions die in less than a second. then blow up the rest of the wall just for the hell of it. its fun to watch too.
i think its good to mention the different types of art like best ones for walls, best ones for field and best ones for killing men like monster ribault, serpentine, ballista and rocket launcher
thanks for trying to help other people, like myself who wants to get better in the total war series edit: you have a good presentation voice (if that's even a thing)
i run high cava armies i like mobility Heavy for breaking infantry formation Light to mop of isolated unites Missile to break spears and to push other missile cava away from my other cava as for infantry a decoy unit (4 units of sword and shield)
I disliked this because I thought it was visually uniteresting. Then, I noticed all the comments raving about it and thought I'd missed something. It was only when I saw it was from 2014, I realised I'd missed the last 5 years. It made me think of the technicological advances we've made since 1913. So I went back and up-voted it.
Just wondering, but where would you put the Standards? The game seems to put them in Artillery purely because they push a big wooden thing around, even if the standard itself can't attack any units. The men manning it seem to have fairly good stats and won't rout, but they're few in number and kind of expensive. There aren't enough of them to be used as line infantry, so all they're really good at is pushing the cart. So what category would you put them in?
How do attack and defense stats work like if i have an attack of 12 and i attack a unit with 12 defense how does that factor in damage. Also, does attackor defend only factor if my unit at a particular time in the battle happens to be attacking or defending?
Defence is made by armor skill shield Skill will determine how often your unit will block the higher the better Armor will protect from projectiles and melee units Shield will work as armor in melee and protect from projectiles
The only really artillery that is effective in pitch battles is the ballista to counter other artillery i fell like and then catapult and trebutchet but only good if enemy bunches up really other than siege battles artillery is kinda useless
i feel like you dont mention the mongols :( they have arguably the best melee and missile cav in the game and their light lancers are pretty good too :)
+Brady Stevens spread guns out 2 lines have the guns on skirmish mode its better than skirmish mode off because they kneel after firing and use a meatshield in front!

Jesse Greco man you people really love to smell your own farts

That's a great idea! Thanks
Swissman15 hey do u want me to cover rushing ive never lost rushing 14-0
Mad_Pug_Gaming
dude you have very good videos abou Medieval II: Total War. thanks!
Heyy someone is back to learn here too 🤩
You can probably put some figures and photos from games (does not know if you have the video skills to do that). Anyway even as an experienced total war player, I liked a lot. Maybe you can expand talking about merchants, princess, etc.
+Marcelo Marques This was mostly for online battles, rather than campaign
Hum, ok. But yours hints helps a lot on AI battles as well :D keep the good working !
I've played this game since I was a child still a teen but I'm new to multiplayer this will hopefully help
Sounds to me like cracked versions 😂
The first 26 seconds is just chaos.
Lawl.
I just noticed that it's exactly the other way round in the newer TW games. There, you use shock cav against other cav.
Bought the game last week... and am really struggling with it, until now ;) Thanks for these video's!
I am very glad it helped!

One rule of thumb with cav is to never use cav that don't have shields.
thanks for trying to help other people, like myself who wants to get better in the total war series
edit: you have a good presentation voice (if that's even a thing)
Instructions not clear i didn't win with my two units of highland rabble versus one guy on horse
Lol highland rabble is not a good unit..... You need better units dude.
And by one guy on a horse? U mean a Knight? Or just a regular sergant ?
@@koreancowboy42 My man, you responded to an obvious joke 3 years after it was postes
just found this series thanks for the info good sir
+JHaas117 I do hope these videos help.
Just want to add that flame arrows lowers enemy morale.
i run high cava armies
i like mobility
Heavy for breaking infantry formation
Light to mop of isolated unites
Missile to break spears and to push other missile cava away from my other cava
as for infantry
a decoy unit (4 units of sword and shield)
firekid88000 Yes, I do too, but i like the heavy backbone of infantry: my cav tactics video may help you out or give you ideas :p
thanks I will check that out

good tutorial! thank you
+Ghorum Thank you very much

No mention of gunpowder units in skirmishers ?
Just get 5 Spears as a center 2 swords on each flank 4 Cav on each side and HAMMER AND ANVIL BABY
How do attack and defense stats work like if i have an attack of 12 and i attack a unit with 12 defense how does that factor in damage. Also, does attackor defend only factor if my unit at a particular time in the battle happens to be attacking or defending?
Defence is made by armor skill shield
Skill will determine how often your unit will block the higher the better
Armor will protect from projectiles and melee units
Shield will work as armor in melee and protect from projectiles
this is a lot of help good job man I subscribed
+Joel Gonzalez Jr. Really glad it did, that was the point :D
Nice tutorial , just what i need , 1st total war game , got it yeasturday
SIND Four Thanks good luck and enjoy
The only really artillery that is effective in pitch battles is the ballista to counter other artillery i fell like and then catapult and trebutchet but only good if enemy bunches up really other than siege battles artillery is kinda useless
Is the multiplayer population dead? Or are there still many people playing this game?
i feel like you dont mention the mongols :( they have arguably the best melee and missile cav in the game and their light lancers are pretty good too :)
Good vid man.
What would you say is a good meelee cavalry available to england????
u forgot guns in the skirmishers...
+Brady Stevens spread guns out 2 lines have the guns on skirmish mode its better than skirmish mode off because they kneel after firing and use a meatshield in front!
quakapakulu ;D qapakulu is pronounced "kapahkoolooh"
Subtitles, please
or tell them their shit and too get good
