Thanks for the glimpse at your elite army and your thoughts on troops. I prefer more heavy calvary since I can F1+F3 lol but I am applying more and more tactics after your tutelage.
Heavy cav does work pretty well with F1 plus f3 but obviously on this channel we're teaching people far beyond the normal bounds of baseline tactics. You're welcome and thank you for the comment!
Glad we could help - there are plenty more videos with tidbits for players that I think even some highly experienced players like you might still glean some tips. See the playlist for the pre-battle tips and tricks - and by all means if you see something I should add from your own experience, let me know! :)
I would love to see a video on your 8th Corp and how you level/equip them throughout various stages of the game. I've recently been inspired to start a longer term campaign after seeing what you're 8th corps is capable of. I'm also curious as to how you deal with the deaths of important companions and the replacement/leveling process you use for party members with specific roles and what your target perks are for them in each roll. When exactly do you decide a party member is ready for a new role?
This video showcases the inventory and skills of about a dozen of the eighth corp: ua-cam.com/video/Mz9Gmiila5s/v-deo.html Keep in mind that my long-term campaign is essentially contrived, or artificially created: First it's a result of me playing through the first character as a ruthless mercenary, switching sides 2-3 times early in my campaign. Second, right before my original character died of old age, we had nearly a third of the map conquered as our unique Kingdom and I intentionally decided at that point to make things extremely hard by declaring war against SEVEN of the eight kingdoms at once, even when they offered me tribute for peace, I refused it - even though they started to take over the castles and cities I had added to my empire and started to hem us in. Finally, to get a huge group of family members, this is now the third and even FOURTH generation of the family, and that results in a huge number of kin: if you can imagine, our original character had like nine children with three or four wives, those nine children married, out of those children they had 25+ total children, who we then married and added spouses to potential eighth corp members, finally we've had some companions until they were OLD, like 65+ years of age and obviously were very high level. I'd caution you that if you plan on recreating something like I have done it will take LITERALLY a year of playing an hour or two a day. If you really want something like this, have a blast, and I'll be happy to make suggestions but it's not something you can just build overnight.
When I want to train the medicine skill of a party leader, I give him trash tier troops (preferably without shield) and I select the low level units to spawn first. That way the casualties pile up faster and he becomes better at healing my units. So there is a scenario where it's useful to select the low level priority.
Yep, very effective, you can also move your injured troops repeatedly to your medical companion, allowing her/him to simply heal your troops up from other armies...
Playthrough? Is that where people show a campaign gameplay from start to finish? I am very late-campaign(5000+ days). I didn't even start recording battles until about two months ago, showing this extremely-late game and *contrived* scenario. I could conquer the map of course if I wanted by isolating my enemies by declaring peace with several of them, but I'm purposefully going to run this campaign to it's end fighting against the entire map, even if we fall in the end.

This was interesting. I have a lot of time into this game and I still learned a lot.

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions thank you very much, that'll be my next watch! Gotta study up to conquer Calradia
You're welcome bud, anytime, just ask. @@kylefickett2190
I do remember that Napoleon choose not to take the high ground in a battle! And that become a trap for the opponent!
Sometimes there's a reason to leave the enemy the high ground but almost 95% of the time I want the high ground.
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions true! I do want the high ground my self if I can!

Do you have this playthrough somewhere? 🤔 I didn't se that on youtube!

how did you get that scene from the beginning of the video
It's from the ending of a battle - just a cool looking scene so I saved the clip.
You said one of your lords had loads of children with 4/5 wives… how, I thought you could only have one per lord?
The wives died, most in combat, one died in childbirth... Ended up with six total wives and 19 children!
