Charge of Heavy Brigade

[shokaku76]

Just wrapped up another Mori Victory... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
Man, gotta love the full, galloping charge of the HCs... at the near end of the campaign, I had a full 1,600 HC charging at the Ronins. Needless to say, they were all wiped out. It did not matter that the enemy consisted of SA and WM, they were completely obliterated by the mighty HC. Anyone else love to mercilessly unleash these Mighty Hordes of Galloping death upon the feeble foes?

Not only is full charge asthetically pleasing, it seems to cause enemies to flee, unless they happen to be WM in which case, they might kill a few HC before being squished like hoho cakes.

Me likes taking lotsa legendary-armored, legendary-weaponed, legendary-moraled HC into wipe the scum from the earth! By the time you get the legendary palace (is that what its called or is it 'golden'?), though, its usually game over...

Slaughtering hundreds of cowardly units as they turn to flee is most gratifying. I hate cavalry archers so one of the funniest things was when I had a few units of HC and I caught them in a pincer attack. They just kept going back and forth until they realised they were going to die. And die they did.

Tell me you got some screen shots of that action. Love the image conjured. I usually only have 1-2 places that can build near game end, salt these guys in up to maybe 3 per army. Loved the way they scattered some arques at the end of my last campaign, poor boys couldn't maintain firing positions. I'm happy if can get them up to 2sword/silver shield level, never built palaces.

thats the way to do it - gold armour, three swords, legendary morale, a full charge of 16 120-man units of 'that' heavy cavalry is simply 'irrisistable'...hmm...

(goes off and loads a late game to see it for himself)

[Laertes]

1600 heavy cavalry? Yipes. Must have cost a lot of koku and time...

That would have been one sweet screenshot/movie, 'tho. We aren't getting dust trails in the expansion, are we? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

He is justly served; It is a poison temper'd by himself.

I thought they were adding dust trails to the expansion?

To answer your question, that is my "Tradition" in ending the game with a big "Bang". Once I know game is beat, I start cranking out HCs, and build up huge Horde of HCs, and march into few remaining opposition and utterly crush them. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
