Not sure if it's a bug or not but cavalry needs to be adressed. At around 800 a peice most cavalry can beat the best foot knights. Spears arn't all that great vs them either. Fair enough there charge should be effective but they still carry on figthing and winning after the charge..

It could be a bug, it could just be that the stat needs to be rebalanced.

How much do the knights cost and under which conditions? If cavalry charges knights in the flank, I'm sure the cavalry should win. If it's head on in the woods, then the foot knights should do better.

Tib, to actually test if spears work against knights, you should let them be able to fight the knights while in formation. For instance, try to take the charge of the knights on one unit, then rush the spear one and hold it at their backs. Then look how they die.. (In formation and bracing. When they are charged their formation is broken which's why they lose. But if - as I said - they are in formation, they would beat it. Try deeper ranks.)

I know this m8 but still..

It's not as major as the cav spamming was in 1.3 but non the less I ouldn't expect soem lancers to fight for to logn vs hardend foot infantry..

Well, I really see it better that way.. Making pikes uber against cav at any situation is just silly IMO. The only thing a person would need to do then is get some infantry and archers..

Hi

I actually just can't play MP online.

Dunno if it's due to gamespy or creative assembly, but each time I try to enter a game, it says either it's full, either NAT error, either host is not answering. When I create a game, no one is able to join. I sometimes had this problem in Rome : Total War, but most of the time it was still working. This is not a firewall issue, as I turned it off it didn't change anything.

Other thing : the map names are shown in the host's language, this doesn't look very professional !

[TheNobody]

Connecting problem solved. It just works now, which means that it was a Gamespy issue. Creative Assembly, please, for your next game, a better multiplayer platform ?

After 8 1v1

1. (sometimes?)when u group all unit [G], and draw on ground, the formation is not kept (shouldnt it be?).

2. (sometimes?) when u group all unit [G], and rotate [,][.], the formation is not kept, and all units get into a single row?.

3. Archers, if u loosen them, (sometimes?) they do not auto-shoot even when it is enabled, and enemy is within range.

4. xbow(maybe even bow?) projectile funny? i can have units way behind the archer rank dying (not many not often though).. feel more like bullets to me.

5. so far 6 games out of 8, i lost gamespy connection. After exiting battle, i was thrown back to the MP login screen; however i can never login unless i restart M2TW.. was a hassle.

[tootee]

to add..

6. Logfile; only the two most recent are kept? the earlier ones are deleted?

• Can no longer see a list of the chat messages in a battle. IN RTW, I could push the button above tab and see a list of what had been said during battle. It is no longer available or it has been changed. Please tell me if it has.
• When writing a message to other players in deployment, pushing enter sometimes causes your deployment phase to end. Very annoying.
• When picking your army, when you are ready and click to begin, you are taken to another screen which shows who is ready to start. At this point you can no longer see your chosen army , which is very annoying if you wish to tell your allies your army while you wait and as they pick theirs.
• When using TeamChat in the army selection lobby, the writing stay blue as oppose to turning Orange. Can be annoying as you don't know if your ally is talking to just you, or telling his army to everyone in the game.

Sorry if a few have been mentioned already. They just annoy me a little.

Not sure if it's a bug or not, a problem now appeared. After formatting PC, when I have log-in for entering in multiplayer says the CD-code is not valid!!!!!!! Someone knows something?

[tootee]

Read this in the Citadel forum, about the gunners reform bug. I was when I thought my arquebusiers had stopped firing after one volley in my first game with gunpower unit.. only to realise it happen inbetween firing.

So this is a bug CA?

Different language version don't work each other.
For example polish version does not work with english, same italian and french.
