Hi guys! GOGPlays here. I upload striking moments, tactics, campaigns, memes of Total War and other strategy games. I prefer playing historical strategy games including Eurasian map. I'm a hydraulics engineer interested in ancient history, military history, genetics, meme culture etc. stuff personally.
Thanks for watching. Please subscribe, if you enjoy my content. Have a nice day:)
"Capturing fleeing enemy softly" Call it what it is! Chasing down and flattening the enemy army with your cavalry, after a mass rout! Watching hundreds of bastards go down at once after they challenged your might! Now there's the best feeling in the game!
The Byzantines' best unit is Vardariotai. It's on par with the best Mongolian horse archers, and it's available on turn 1 from some of the castles. The Byzantine Guard Archers are also a very solid infantry unit for castle defense. The Byzantine sword militia is also good just for being relatively cheap and reliable.
This game is very very very very good and epic,i wish they make a medieval 3 but how games are coming out those days maybe wont be good as this one,even with technology etc,older games were made like gold,genuine and with a lot of hard workd behind it.
Half of these clips being Byzantines making Venice's soldiers regret being born 😙👌 Wow this made me remember that experience of booting up MII for the first time and seeing those animations of soldiers getting skewered with those all-new combat animations - so graphic!
For the life of me I can't stand the delay the AI has in this game it's unreasonably slow...I love the game but in comparison to RTW for example the battles are worse
@@michaelchristidis8658 You said the AI is slow.. you mean the Unit speed being slow and very unresponsive? That's also fixed with a lot of mods. Europa Barbarorum 2 for example has a very very quick feel to the combat, as most of the units are light, literally set in ancient Rome period, if you favor ROME's combat, you'll like this also.
@@krekk2751 I don't have a problem with RTW however thanks for the mod...I was more concerned about Med II's slow battle AI, not the Campaign AI btw...the Campaign AI actually is better than RTW
Why is there no medieval mongols katyusha barrage in there? Or the begging voice when you hover over the button of the fate of capture soldiers? It must be included
3 questions 1. Damm pikes are that GOOD? Usually they switch to sword so they get hack by enemies infantry or heavy Calvalry after a while. 2. I never figure out how to use missiles like archers or crossbow well. Like do i put them front to better shoot advancing foes? Or behind my lines to make arc shots that are less deadly than straight shots? And how do i use them well in attacking enemies armies? Skirmishers a bit less too offensively. 3.Is there mods you use? If so what are they and how i download?( i play médiévale 2 definitive édition on steam) Thank you
Pikes are one of the best units if you know how to micro them lololol (which is really annoying) 1 pike militia and a peasant stacked at front can beat venetian heavy infantry
Pikes need special micro. Stack two lines of pikemen, keep them at guard mode at first to absorb enemy charge and unguard it and then start to attack this way. Point is absorbing charge and attack guard cycle with those two lines. Missile infantry needs some infantry guard in this game generally. Only longbowmen can stay unguarded due to those stakes against cavalry. If you have a missile stack first aim at advancing enemy cavalry though. They're the biggest counter against missile infantries by those devastating charges. I play vanilla mostly, sometimes I do little moddings for fun myself.
@@manuelfuica-martineau4940 They need protection as well. Ballistas are useful early game, others can be ggod for siege battles and aiming mass enemy at choke points.
Units in the middle were monster ribaults. They're artillery technically just throwing smaller steel balls. They were like medieval machine guns with bigger ammunitions.
Lancers are more expensive and less powerful than noble knights, gothic knights are trash and worse than basic sword units and any faction that gets musketeers that’s their best unit because it’s the best unit in the game
Even the basic weakest knights mailed knights can defeat the best musketeers janissaries easily in a 1 vs 1. Without melee protection, gunpowder infantry is useless generally.
The devs did a surprisingly good job at designing and porting the Battle Mode UI & UX to the mobile version. It ain't perfect and I have some personal minor nitpicks but it is solid and intuitive overall. They proved that you don't need flashy and miticulous UI & UX design for the mobile port. Just keep it simple, intuitive, and most importantly - responsive.
@@manuelfuica-martineau4940 nah bro, medieval 2 doesn't use nexus mod as a platform for mods, its usually moddb where all mods are published, and it seems GOG modifies his own game by himself to make units reload faster and etc
