Crazy to see a horde faction on attack! Egypt get crazy with his ranged units and all attackers play very well together! The defenders have zero chance to defend it against this machine.
This was one hell of a battle. Roxolani on attack is...just unorthodox...yet they made it work. Seeing that cav play, especially at the six minute thirty seconds mark with follow up infantry attack from both Egypt and Carthage was already great to see, but the little cherry on top was seeing that cav pull out...?🥲It brings a tear to my eye. May not have got the kills, but they really set up the butcher's bill for their allies. I have seen such play before but sometime the player tends to forget the cav and leaves them to become target practice for the enemies ranged fire, and it kinda hurts to see. Infantry and archer play from both Egypt and Carthage was also great to see. Clearly they were either communicating with each other via discord or some other manner, but seeing their infantry moving almost exactly when they need to was just juicy. As for the defenders, they seemed a bit of at a loss? Probably thrown off of their game due to the prescience of Roxolani, and then tried to build armies to try and counter it once it got inside the walls. Tactics wise, there were some mistakes to be sure but they did make a fair account of themselves.
well, basically if the defenders fight the attackers head on, they will always lose 100% of the time cause the the offensive side gets more money to begin with. so creating large front lines of combat is the dream for any attacking team + all those lines where so brutally damaged by the ruthless cavalry charges ;). as a defender you have to set up unfavorable situations for the opposite team if you want to win. the only recipe for success is overpower - outnumber or outmaneuver. it cant be any other way.
defenders army comp were really bad, especially suebi. bringing 8 bloodsworn units that have 20 armour,another shooting practice day for missiles units
i have to diagree with you on this man. i think the suebi army was great and that is coming from a one of the attackers. the only mistake is the usage of that army ( spears trading blows on the front lines while the swords held back). thats the opposite of what you want.
Entertaining fight. I like to see horse factions on attack makes it more interesting especially in medium settlement size. I interesting army comp for suebi. Be careful with bloodsworn although a very good unit because of archers and murder sticks. Excellent commentary and tips and tricks. Question for you Joe, can any horse faction units dismount? Keep the sieges coming.
Attackers were well coordinated, cavalry charges in and infantry follows up. The attackers taking the top position early really screwed over the defenders in the front section.
Hi Joe, Here is proven a cav faction could be verry usefull in a siege as a attacker. If the player know the limits and handle the cav units well. In my opinion they did verry good. They didnt maded it easy on the defenders. Even with bigg sally outs of defenders a attacking horse faction could be verry usefull. I am Pro attack cav faction afther seeing this battle; Annyway good battle from both sides so GG to all . And thanks to Joe who is always making good work and good comment ! So a big THANKS Joe , you deserve more likes but can give you only 1 😞

Ah yes, the siege building, one of the most well-known forms of architechture
Haha! Good pick

Interesting tactics

Looked like a coordinated experience team vs an uncoordinated random team. Props to the latter, though, they did their best.
Best total war channel by far
Very smart play on the offense cav charge softens the line then the troops move in n finish it off very very good play and team work enjoyed that

Bloodstone have their place for sure, but archers love them the same

If I remember right, any horse unit can dismount.
How are these units dismounted though in battle?
@@Seth-zz4qd on, usually the only stat that is affected is the charge bonus. Maybe some other stats are changed, but they are minor.
This game was epic - I'd love to see more non traditional tactics - fortune favours the bold!

Agreed!
Suebi was just looking at his ally get destroyed at the start.
Those Cretans man.... they should be tried for war crimes
