Where do i get replays /tactics

[Squirrel_of_hatred]

Replays are the fastest way to assimilte information and learn tactics.

Where can i get them? Does the org have a database somewhere? Also where can i get some tactical knowledge, preferably in the forms of diagrams and animation's?

Replays don't really work in 1.3 and BI. At least they differ wildly from what actually happened. AFAIK there is no public database of replays, though many clans and individuals do keep them (at least for 1.2).

As for tactics, what version are you talking about? There aren't really publically available diagrams and stuff, but I could give you ideas if you are facing particular issues.

Sad but very true. After a victory, it is possible to suffer a 'crushing defeat' in the replay

Tactics discussed here.

Thank you lad's

Yes the replays are buggered yet again, and if you pick a weaker faction it near always shows you as defeated in the play back.

Well nihil i suppose im looking for ways to win as the more challenging factions, The Gauls, Thracians etc. I may get back to you on that one. Which clans have public replay's for download? also i wasint really looking specifically for RTW type tactics but actual military tactics used historically and im too lazy to read much text unless there are animations and picture's.

The Hun, look's a tidy site ill have a look later.

Well against a competent opponent who doesn't mess up you just won't win as the Gauls etc. against the more common factions: Rome, Seleucids and so on. In 1.2 I did play as these factions against the much stronger ones when playing against Randoms in the lobby, but this wasn't really using any great tactics with them, but just completely out-microing my opponents and exploiting their mistakes. Against an experienced opponent I wouldn't really take these factions unless messing about.

Replays don't work so people don't really save them. Clans also can be a bit sensitive about making their replays publically available, as it could weaken them in tourney games as their opponents would know more about their preferred setups and tactics. I don't know of any good clan that regularly puts up public replays. There were some being put up in the early stages of the CWB tourney in 1.2, but the requirements were later changed, so this was no longer necessary.

There was never much discussion over tactics in 1.2 as it just was about winning the cavalry battle, so in 1v1 just a bit of micro around upgraded cavalry, or in team games getting all cav to engage together. I haven't played much 1.3 to tell much difference, but in BI infantry is more important. Probably too strong though in some cases, as there are Roman setups (with the silly amount of ammo the plumbatarii have) that are very powerful and hard to beat without any effort to use as well as the problem with horse archers not really having an effective counter in numbers.
