Killing people

[Sir Chauncy]

I have just read a thread about people getting paltry kills with their cavalry. In one battle in the defense of totomi, my two units of Cav one yari and one Naginata killed about 1100 men, the naginata alone killing 703! it was smashing, it really is shocking how crap archers are in hand to hand. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif
How many kills have you had with one unit?

Actually at this point I started to get a little thoughtful, what about the families of these troops? they hadn't wanted to die, they probably just wanted to make a rice pot or something, no one ever seems to think about the henchmen.

I once got 1094 kills with a single arquebusier... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/eek.gif

Ok, I think its official. Only idiots don't base their army on Cavalry. And that's the way I like it http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif!

Chaguhun,

If you base your army off Cavalry, your asking to get clobbered. As happened before patches and mods were available, alot of people thought the mighty MHC was the ultimate weapon, and many ppl fought with nothing but these units. However, they soon learned the price of their folly. Any army on the field against a Human should be relatively balanced - or else you should hope that your opponent got all the wrong units to oppose you. Otherwise - your sunk.
Qapla!

Um, dude, I said based, not completly. I use all kinds of units.

well, we could talk kills and all beat our chests in macho bravado, but the real test of your skills is how many DONT die. to be able to rout an entire enemy army off the field without one kill or without one loss is the ultimate victory! and i'm not talking about the weenie AI that sometimes turns tail and walks off before anything ever happens.

GAH! Been there... done that. Just yesterday I defended Mushashi against a Shimazu horde... lost ZERO of my own and had ALL 3 of my gunnies RUN OUT OF AMMO with about 1/8 of the time left!!! It was an orgy of killing... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif And I never had to even draw a single sword or take a single step!
