Here are some units i could either never get the hang of or feel like that i'm probably not using them the best i could or that sometimes i get mixed results...
1.Scythed chariots: i really don't know how to use these guys... the best i could see is probably charging it ahead of a cav charge... but the main problem is they die fast and run amok faster, when they run amok they are REALLY scary.... for you..... i've already had 2 general killed by my own amok chariots -.-.... and obviously running them in with infantry is even less of a option as unlike elephants they are way too fast for infantry to follow. (and when they trample they also trample much more severally) .. why only they run amok and not say... Egyptian chariot archer or Brit light chariot ??![]()
2.Phalanx: well usually they work very well for me and have saved the day for me several time.... my main problem is when pushing foward with them sometimes they lower their spear (which is insanely scarey inside a town) sometimes they don't. (which gets them massacered by anything stronger than a peasent...) how do you make sure they lower their spear when u want them to? i tried telling them to stop... that work sometimes but other times they stop defending all together and run around like idiots ..... telling them to attack seem to be generally more reliable but sometimes they also don't lower their spear until much later....
3.Skrimishers: sometimes they work sometimes they don't... again sometimes they just don't fire off their goddamn javlin or keep throwing it onto our own men... anyone with better javlin use technique?
Anyone willing to share their thoughts is apperciated.
