Let me tell you something my friends. One deadly way of accident in my country is accident with a camel. Cause you crash one of them and it fall on your car you are dead with a doubt. That's how big and strong is a camel. Now imagine 1000 war camels charging to you !!!
I know this is kinda a meme battle and not that likely in most siege but just some advice from a humble land battle boi, shield wall is pretty much point less against the camels. While camels are actually lighter than normal cataphracts a weird quirk of the Rome 2 engine lets them apply impact damage to way more enemy models than other cavalry(horses) can. This mean s if you form up and brace in shield wall you are just bunching up so they can hit more of your guys and not throwing any javelins at them. Sure a heavy or very heavy unit braced in a formation will stop the camelphracts and may not even take that many lost to the first charge but the amount of hp damage spread to all the models in the unit is devastating and men will go down super easy to follow up attacks.
BTW the attackers didnt brought units to face SABA and parthia ! ! If you see the defender taken horse factions you should bring lots more spearmen . Cav dont like spearmen ;-)😉 Now attackers didnt stand a chanse with 0 spear units ....
I am not such a fan of mass sally outs because most of the time there is only landbattle. But interesting for sure is the level of those sally out guys !! Somme try it and it's not working out like they had wannated. Somme players can handle those cav extreme good, you must have the wright feeling of the exact moment to retreat youre cav. To long in melee you loose them. In a multy player game like a 4X4 one of the 4 defenders can bring big dammage to the attackers by hit a run on the perfect moments .
You ever done anything like this Joe? No matter how many times I see it happen, I still don't really get it. Sure, it's a bit of fun when you throw open the gate and shout surprise, but then that's it, not really a contest.
@@joeonitproductions Interesting. I hear you talk about the generally accepted army configs from time to time on your battle replays, I thought maybe you wouldn't have gone down this road.
@Timmy51m, it's still fun to do here and there. Plus, with all the times I have had that happen to me, I figure me trying it isn't a bad thing. I always get sallyed out on
Personally i would recommend desert kingdoms or greek states, greek dlc if you like attacking cause it gives you access to tortoises, and desert kingdoms if you like either cause they can be really good on attack and defence, my fav faction is masaesyli, cant go wrong with them xD

Hope you enjoy it!
That is one fascinating play lol

A full sally out? Like cav factions Sally outs? Of course I have, with friends on TW streams lol. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

If youre a fan of sally outs you have to see this one ! ! FOR SURE thanks joe for the good comments
No doubt!
Joe, I have a question, which DLC should I buy, Desert Kingdoms, Greek cities or, black sea colonies?
I would say Desert Kingdoms or Greek Cities personally.
@@joeonitproductions Yeah, but which one
Personal opinion for me at least would be desert but both are interesting and fun to play, more of what you like
Desert kingdoms, you'll have fun with those factions
Personally i would recommend desert kingdoms or greek states, greek dlc if you like attacking cause it gives you access to tortoises, and desert kingdoms if you like either cause they can be really good on attack and defence, my fav faction is masaesyli, cant go wrong with them xD
Great vid😊😊
Thank you very much 👍🏻
Be cool if someone shared epic defeats instead of only their victories
I absolutely agree with you!
it 2 vs 2 Saba + Parthia on defend. how come the attacker not notice that defender will do some kind of the sally-out
Might have been newer players on attack. Maybe they haven't watched any of my previous videos on what factions to watch out for Sallyouts
