    Just thought those involved might find these interesting, Heir if you would like to take a few look at upcoming tournaments let me know. Here is a link to a replay from FIB (Faction Inheritance Battle). I'd love it Heir, if you would come on board, televising, or perhaps even as a competitor? My channel is Total War Seraphim. Thanks brother, be well (PS: You were always my inspiration, no bs). I wrote you years ago, I don't expect you'd have remembered, but I wasn't doing so well medically. And whether or not you remember, I maintain; your video got me through the worst physical pain of my life while I learned to walk again. Whether or not you respond, THANK YOU.

    One of my absolute favorite campaigns was my Carthage campaign on VH. Africa + Mauretania focused on economy had me up at least 10k per turn, had 15 client states not long after because I was so rich I just outright bought their loyalty and any faction I was at war with had to contend with an unlimited amount of armies and mercenaries from me and my client states.
    Carthage is pretty cool in campaign. Not so much on MP.

      @Malcolm-kw5du 4 роки тому +1

      Carthage is a very solid multiplayer faction, on both attack and defense. The versatility of its hoplite and sword infantry units make it viable for both attack and defense, and it has some elite units.

    Yes carthage is a huge medium bias but the pike phalanx and a lot of flanking makes up for it. I know that micro is so inportant you can really lose a lot of soldiers if you do not understand flanking. Elephant as general is always a huge tank against babarians. And numidian cavalary is a verry good adition to any cathagenian army as long as you understand flank and have a cav superiority and something to hold them.
    Also build good fleets to check the med.

      +snacko30 standard barbarian meta would usually beat it. The Tylis player shouldn't have bothered with noble horse, or Thracian peltasts; theyre good but not necessary here. More tribals, three slingers, 4 freemen, 2 raiders on each flank. GG for Carthage as Tylis is probably the strongest faction.

  • @christianh4723
    @christianh4723 4 роки тому

    It always rubbed me the wrong way (starting with the first RTW) that the sacred band are a unit when they likely didn't exist anymore by the game's time period, 272 BC... not to mention that it is unlikely that they even referred to themselves by that name, seeing as "sacred band" is just the name used by the Greeks for an elite Carthaginian citizen unit (which was annihilated in Sicily in 310 BC).
    I know from a balance perspective, it was only fair to give the faction an elite unit that ISN'T a mercenary unit, lol. Calling them "citizen elite" or something like that would have been cool for the history nitpickers like myself.
