AOK?
Age of Kings soibean, Age of Kings http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
age of kings huh
oh AOE: aok
its been awhile since I played that one
from what I remember about AOE you should be able to win with that if you lure them into cannon fire range and have them give the huns a go while keeping a constant repair on them and sending parts of your forces out so they dont mob the towers...
if Im thinking of the right game that could work
i will try. i built the best fortress then got what i think the civ the comp does best with and i am paying for it now lol they are sieging me more than i thought. thanks for the advice
What civilization are you?
the goths i love huskarls
you don't expect to survive with the goths when they don't have walls....just palisades...
i know thats why i made a scenario where i mmade the best fort ever. i lost so i am off to make a super fort now and see how long it will hold to the onslaught. i love defending fortresses for some reson
the canons don't matter, if they bring trebuchets, then you're finished. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...hogunshame.gif
Hey ceasar010,
I also prefer the Goths because of the Archer armour of the Huskarls.
What you need though against the Huns are lots of Hussars (light Cavalry fully developed) to defeat the Trebuchets and lots of Pikemen/ Halbardiers against the Tarkans. Build some Elite-Huskarls for extra power against Scorpions or Mangonels. Concentrate on this troop types and keep your economy up.
Build at least three stables at the front line to produce the Hussars faster. Send out little groups of them to intercept his siege equipment on the march.
Use Horse Archers to kill his villagers.

thanks i never really used hussars. i usually like the heavy calvary types. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif * runs off to try to win the game*
Hey-o
It's been a while since I discussed AoK, but I used to be quite good at it...
The light cav line was always my favourite. One scout / light cav / hussar costs eighty units of food, nothing more.
Built four mills, forty farms, establish a secluded lumber camp somewhere, and the only thing that can stop you is a heavy camel / mamaluke flood. Throw in some archer / hand cannon support and you have the game.
I recall a match I played against my sister. I played Celts; she played, as always, the Franks. It was on a highland map, meaning that it had a river down the middle, with one shallow crossing. I very nearly wiped her out early, but then thought, No, this is no fun. I'll pull out and let her recover, then do it all over again http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif And that's what I did. I walled up my coastline and left my troops trapped on her side to their fate. Then I realised that I had completely forgotten about the relics http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif
I found one on my side: clearly she had captured the other four. And with the gold four relics bring in, I knew it was a matter of time before I was down to halbs, light cav and skirmishers against her paladins, elite throwning axemen and trebs. So I built a transport ship and filled it with four monks and three or four petards. Then I opened my gates at the river crossing and flooded her with a one hundred and fifty-strong army of light cav, halbs and elite woad raiders. In the chaos, she didn't notice my strike squad as I demolished her monastery and nicked off with her precious relics
She realised what I had done only when I unloaded my transport ship under her nose: out popped four monks, each with a relic. I heard a cry of dismay from her room, and one of my monks was promptly trebbed. Those bastards can be accurate when they want to be...
At this point the game lost sync or something, and we couldn't finish it. Bugger http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/gc-wall.gif
