@cccpredarmy 11 месяцев назад

@@h4xorzistI see the "reason" why CA changed the sieges. Back in the days we were playing a 1 v 2 siege-series with the defender having about 1/3 less money than EACH of the attacker and sitting in the lowest stone wall castle. No matter the tactics used by the attacker the one defending ALWAYS won by far. E.g. one of us even tried "swiss cheese tactic" where he just obliterated the walls, breaching every single hole and destroying every single tower before the assault. Despite all that the defender still won, using choke points and falling back to the town center to fight until death... Sieges in earlier TW games are very imba for the defender hence why I think CA made sieges a somewhat "different" terrain battle to give the attacker a slight chance. All this flag capturing and open terrain inside the walls or the walls themselves being almost like open terrain is just them trying to solve the imbalance... CA is just to lazy to come up with better ideas...

@h4xorzist 11 месяцев назад

@@cccpredarmy Tournaments completely aside, walled cities were granting the defenders an about 10:1 advantage (if properly built). So, for the historical game this is very reasonable. But in Warhammer it's so bad the walls are downright worse to man then to do anything else making me question why they built them and don't get me started on the downright retarded towers, literally built in a way to teach cheese to every single person playing the game. TWWH sieges get a 1/10 in every category from all angles except fancy looks.

Multiple crusader armies besieging a single city and poring through the breaches like a floodwater. The visual of Legend trying to get his generals bodyguard back into the city after attacking the ballista unit with the HRE cavalry hot on his tail. His melee infantry being completely ground down and wiped out while holding chokepoints leading to the town square. This battle really nailed the aesthetic of Medieval II and is a testament to the games staying power that it could happen nearly 17 years after the games release. PS: Bonus points for the Papal States controlling Florence and having an army to contribute to the crusade but no doing so. I doubt that will stop the Pope from admonishing the crusaders from failing to take Rome and salting their wounds.

This was amazing! In my head cannon I can so easily imagine the crusaders actually screwing up like this. The imperial pudding heads leaving their seige equipement undefended so it gets burnt down by a few cavalrymen and the emperor going in without support and getting ambushed by a mob, then his whole army leaving when he dies like with Barbarossa after he drowned, the milanese duke squandering a tonne of money on mercs who rout as soon as he catches a spear to the face, the venetians forgetting to bring any seige and arriving at the wrong side of the city then having to march all the way round the walls to the join the battle getting destroyed along the way, the french, having let the italians take most of the enemy arrow fire, charging through their routing italian allies, killing most of them like at agincourt with the genoese then kamakaziing into a wall of spears, almost getting a breakthrough, then running away super quickly the moment it they see 10 knights and a few crossbowmen, and the poles loafing around waiting for the germans to all die or leave before agreeing to commit their forces because of historical differences, then getting trashed because they let their allies die. And of course the English don't even bother showing up because they are too busy fighting the Scots. Any money, if the moors did make it to Rome after taking all of Spain and there was a crusade to take it back, THIS is more or less exactly how it would go down!

There actually was a battle like this, except it was the reverse and on sea: the Arabs were taking Rome through Ostia in 849 and were repelled by a coalition of Byzantium, Venice, the Italian duchies, and the Papal States all putting aside their disputes temporarily. We don't have numbers, but it seems the Arabs were more likely to have outnumbered them, seeing as how it was planned and the Christians didn't seem too prepared. The Arab fleet was too spread apart, got hit by a storm, was picked off separately by the Christian fleet, the Arabs had a lot of miscommunication and some seem to have left the battle before even getting in the fight. The battle was easily won due to how seriously bad the Arabs bungled it. The battle was considered the greatest Christian resistance to a Muslim fleet up until Lepanto, which overshadowed it.

@@tibsky1396 To be fair to this 'game made by the English-speaking world', the French are no slouches in Medieval 2. They definitely have the best heavy cavalry of the Catholic nations, and their position is risky, but very rewarding if you manage to keep the fronts you're fighting on to a minimum. And it is true that all of the Knights Hospitaller are set in the files as French-speaking. They might not quite be as versatile as the HRE and as heavily fortified as the English, but they are definitely a power to be reckoned with in Medieval 2, as well they should be: the French might be the European nation with the greatest track record when it comes to warfare, more so than the English or Germans. They just suffer from having lost their most crucial battles at moments when it mattered the most for them.

That reminds me of one campaign as England, where NOBODY fled from my army, because I had so high chivalry and morale stats for my general. Even after he died. Whole army of mine got wiped out. This was during a crusade, when I invaded particularily strong enemy army. NO SINGLE UNIT FLED. This is how strong max Chivalry + Morale boost can be. Enemy got only 1 unit left at the end of the battle. EDIT : Unit stayed in battle even after the general died btw.

@generalrevelation8923 11 месяцев назад

Love that the crusaders refused to support eachother for the most part. "If we let those other assholes die we will be in a better position to control the city. You know... for Christ." The immersion was palpable.

I think that’s the first time you’re playing in window mode but props to you legend. That was awesome!

@LegendofTotalWar 11 месяцев назад

I'm actually always playing medieval 2 in windowed mode but I forgot to switch my OBS settings from when I recorded the Rome Total War video. Rome 1 and Medieval 2 require different settings to record. Luckily the Medieval 2 video can run with Rome 1 settings but you'll notice the slight bottom was cut off. Not a big deal.

@alexblaze7677 11 месяцев назад

@@LegendofTotalWar Oh I see, that’s why you were able to see on how many you captured while we couldn’t see that at all. I immediately noticed that there was something off but like you said no big deal. Thanks for letting me know!

This reminds me to a battle I did in a citadel however in Medieval 2. It was also around 2k of my forces (england) vs 8k+ of 5 armys. The battle given it's a citadel with no time limiter enabled took around 2 hours. The moment the battle was about to be won slowly my game crashed. Not sure I managed the win again but i think i didn't my second try. I was so sad but I will never forget those epic battles of medieval 2. Truly the best Total war by miles in siege battles.

I never knew you had to activate the towers, the ballista towers definitely look like their gonna carry half of this battle, such a huge battle I'm sure it will be epic, it will also be epic when he wins it, time to load medieval 2 back up.

@IceniTotalWar 11 месяцев назад

vanilla or mods ? yep you have to activate them, you can also lose control and get slaughtered by your own towers, imagine if those were cannon towers instead of just ballista towers, or a fortress or citadel instead of just a large city ( i think it was ? ) .

If prisoners could revolt I'm pretty sure the prisoners from one army was strong enough to take Rome alone(the prisoners probably outnumbered your garrison from before the battle and Rome itself like 5 to 1). I can't believe you won.
