Saladin

[FasT]

Any of u completed the last level in demo?
Wav's and wav's of units against u......
i only just completed it had 2 units left http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif
1 thing i did notice is they rallied many time after routin them.......They dont rout through other troops,they rout to all different sides of the map.
On another level i noticed to when the enemy troops got near their Castle they get a morale boost!?IMO i noticed this after i routed them,as i chased them around the map,they got near the castle and stood firm to fight again....
Anybody else beatin Saladin if so how u do it?
Like i said i only had 2 units left http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif

How many kills u get? Orda killed over 700 and there were still loads more of the little bastids. Only played demo twice but not overly impressed. OK, OK I know its a demo so still hope game is better.
Out of interest here are Orda's likes and dislikes :-
Likes Dislikes
Horse archers Bright colours
Mameluk cav Destroyed building
Khwarizmian cav (it sinks!!??)
European map terrain Desert map
siege damage sound effects (like a beach)
Scruffy ranks
Orda would not have his men stand hand on hip discussing weather with their mates. Orda would have them flogged and trained to stand in regimented ranks it looks more disciplined.

927 kills on my 3rd attempt.......
And i lost no full units this time http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
Just sit and hold http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

Hmmmmm...Nice kills. But how many got away?
I was wondering how many he had. Seemed about 1200 or more.

how to beat last level in demo mmmmmmmm
its core camping, just push yourself back into a corner by the wall bows at the very back
even when a rout don't chase them they come back you kill thousands. a little boring

Well l played the battle once. While my left flank won and my middle was winning Salasin used a lot of cav on my right flank. Also the lack of cavarly will give em the chance to regroup as fast said.
I am gonna pack my men more closely next time to avoid flanking by superior amount of men he has. By having a small front it shall be easy l think.

------------------
I cannot return l presume so l will keep my name among those who are dead by bows!

[Major Robert Dump]

You are right, m8, pure camping. As soon as they got close enough I sent 2 spears thru a hole in the line and got behind half the army, from there it was just a matter of chasing them down as they ran. It ws my first try and I'm a little disappointed theres not more to do now.

[Gregoshi]

I don't recall it being mentioned, but did anyone else notice the ghosted Save Replay button on the (Jaffa) battle summary screen? Looks like MTW will have real replays. That will be very, very nice.

BTW, I enjoyed the demo very much. I was totally mezmerized by the siege weapons.

Yes i noticed it but i never tried it?
Is it a reply function of some kind?

[BarryNoDachi]

i thought they said the AI was even more intelligent? not sure about that http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/tongue.gif

I think it's agreed that the AI in the demo leaves a whole lot to be desired.

However with the low honour of the enemy troops and the probability that for the Demo, the AI was set to easy mode, we can look forward to much more of a challenge from the full game.

If you want the battle to be tough edit Saladins honour in the adf file.

Major Robert Dump, you want more to do?
Go check the editing forum, 96mgb did a nice battle which you can then modify.

I'm sure now the demo is downloadable more people will start posting their own custom battles.

[Purple Fencer]

I could be wrong but I get the impression that Saladin's attack in the demo is hard coded - if you swap the names of the army files you should find Richard and his motley band charging across the sand dunes towards the waiting Saracens
