i'm playing the tuks in VH/VH long campaign and its getting.......... boring![]()
All becoz of yes as most of u players notice, CALVARY ARCHERS!![]()
i really dont see the rock scissors paper effect. u know, calvary mows infantry, infantry mauls spears and spears impales calvary. u know what i mean...
thing is what is the calvary archer's achilles heel?![]()
just a little background.....
im on my 108 turn [ playing on 1.0 timescale ], been playing very slowly coz only my 2nd campaign in m2tw. first one was the spainish, even more boring.... need to absorb all the little aspects of the game. i've just been using calvary archers stack [singular] to go around mauling every kind of army coming at me. just massacred 3 stacks of Sicilians eventhough i admit one of the the hardest plainly due to their D norman knights. those guys just wont die and they remind me of the T-1000 terminators. they just keep on walking... ok back to my point, my calvary archers of sipahis and turkomans just keep raining themuntil they run and finally when the general dies after an ill-fated belief that his boys can catch up to my calvary archers which my boys will lead him to a trap far away from the rest of his boys where i will follow up and gang bang him in isolation. usually my arrows will reach a little less than half before i win the battle in average unless i'm going against the D norman knights< if only they spoke in a german accent and have red glowing eyes>
thing is at first i thought a well rounded army can beat my Arch Calv stack but i've been against every kind of army with siege weapons, with missiles and etc still my arc calv rules supreme. highest is 15% casualty. the only unit that make me serious in battles was the mameluke arc calv. they can hold their ground and fire serious arrows and not get tired... well in actual fact they are turks too, what u expect? some sort of the nemesis of my cal arc... too bad the egypt is under the rightful rule of the TurksOk but seriously sometimes i can just form up my boys in formation and got to the toilet and not pause the game and when i finish answering the call of nature
my boys still be doing fine cause of skirmish mode and i'll proceed with a massacre.<did it twice>
comparing m2tw with rtw, the calvary archers did very little damage especially with my phalanxes or my legions. they were like mosquitos back then. yes in a sense this charateristic is being very historically accurate. look at mongols. i copied their tactics. its just that the challenge is very much lacking. there is no need of having a well rounded army anymore. after 5 or 6 battle just retrain them and walla u got an army of chevron and silver grades. repeat it at least3 times and u got gold grade cavalry archers. then the aI is truly screwed. been trying to mash my calv archers with light calvary who can catch up to me in custom battle and they arent that successful either cause they can NEVER get into formation to give an honest charge. skirmish mode. they lose in melee with the turks. what if the ai copied my moves and great many stacks of calvary archers? then I'll be screwed....
well im just waitin for the mongols to come. finally a challenge i hope. meeting them for the first time in m2tw, gunpowder to be discovered and the world to turn round where my calvary arcs gonna massacre unamoured men in chicken suits. < calvary arch vs infantry - armor = orgasmic massacre >
just wondering how you guys playing m2tw in multiplayer? i bet my balls everyone gonna hoard up on calvary arc in their stacks.
well guys thats just my opinion. thanks for reading and also in advance if you are to share your thoughts too. appreciate too if you guys can give me suggestions to harden up the challenge...![]()
