RANKING the Top 10 Total War Units ONCE AND FOR ALL 

Absolutely. Can you believe I kind of… got brain damage and that’s why didn’t include them?

Spartans and german berserks are total savages in first Rome

And PAJAMAS

Damn right

100% certified fresh opinion

@@AndysTakeit aint an opinion, its undeniable fact

Indisputable!

They don’t even use skis Need I say more

Very true :)

Highland Foot number one!

That would be a crazy metric!

Exactly 6 million

@@PoddyPeaPea400k due to famine you mean?

oh that would be insane!

​@@PoddyPeaPeaAre You sure it's 6 million? The best that I got was 300k+

And I plan to stay that way

Katana samurai can cause mass routs on legendary difficulty. Charges in Shogun 2 are suprisingly powerful.

I always Rush Nodachi for that@@Klongu_Da_Bongu

lol yeah they're TRULY confident before entering the fray haha

Ah for sure

Highland Rabble FTW

Yari Ashigura easy number 1

I could've mentioned a bunch. Perhaps I could do another list down the line!

I though of it, and Roman Juli legionaries definitely deserve a spot! But I thought of reserving certain units for a much later, another somehow related video ;)

I think it’s just to expensive

Damn sounds like a challenge to be sure, but a welcome one

Appreciate it, Jack 🙏

Thank you, Medjay! :D

@@AndysTake :)

You and me both :’(

yes they are ;)

You'll find out next week ;)

They're amazing. I wanna see what I can do with them in another video down the line, for now they just feel a bit too familiar for whatever reason

An elite list!

@@AndysTake chads of the chads and Ottoman Siphai cav!

Ils sont ultra OP tu peux détruire des armées complètes avec deux unités

Sounds like a plan!

I fricking love Roman units, but... I don't know. Somehow they didn't make it. I might have brain damage.

I was referring to the sarissa spears (if my memory serves), which are very different from the lances of medieval knights

@@AndysTake The term 'sarissa' refers to pikes used by infantry, not lances called 'xyston' or later 'kontos'/'nēzak' used by cataphactoi/grivpanvar respectively. In English the term 'lance' exclusively refers to a cavalry weapon whereas pike is for infantry. This isn't necessarily the case with, for example French or Russian where lance and pike have a more fluid use, but in the case of Ancient Greek, 'sarissa' was exclusively used to describe the weapon used by the phalangeties(pikemen) to distinguish it from the shorter 'dory'(spear) used by hoplites/hypaspists in the Hellenic infantry corps. Other than the length the only real difference between a dory and sarissa besides the length, was that the sarissa could be disassembled into two pieces for transport and that the 'sauroter' on the butt of the spear was heavier to serve as a better counterweight for the phalangite. The 'xyston' was shorter than a 'sarissa' by about a meter or so and used by shock cavalry. Rome II unfortunately misuses the term 'sarissa' in reference to some of the light shock cavalry in the Hellenic rosters(it really should be xyston, or kontos for the Atilla time period. The term 'lance' is inclusive to any type of cavalry spear that is brace during the charge. The main difference between the lances used by earlier cataphracts and later medieval heavy cavalry(including late Byzantine cataphracts) was the technique of using the lance, with earlier sources showing two hands bracing the lance on the charge(like we see correctly in Rome II) and later cavalry using only one hand while couching the bottom end under the armpit, in some cases with the assistance of an arrêt de cuirasse or lance rest/stop. Cavalry spears during the middles ages are described in period combat manuals in both long and short variations but we do see them in some cases being as long as the earlier xyston used by the Hellenic armies. Shorter lances of the medieval period were just regular spears used in the couched position and were more maneuverable but in some cases the extra length of a heavier, longer lance was preferred to outreach the enemy where maneuver and dexterity was deemed less important.

Glad I was Kenough for you 🙏

I've been playing Stainless Steel for 16 years :)

In SS is the most beautiful units. Do you remember Total War Centar? Web page with mods for Total War. My favorite was Europa Barbarorum. I still know to play that game and SS. It was the golden age of Total War. I did play Warhammer 2 and it is a good game, but it is fantasy and can not capture a feeling of the real world and that historical map of Europe where you build your kingdom of empire. In one of your videos, you were talking about Total War Empire. I agree with you, it is one of the best games and is completely underrated by the community.

A bit too familiar to me by now, and also, I’m waiting for Rome 3 to put them on the list ;)

Definitely up there!

For sure, I just think they’ve become a bit too familiar for me!

@@AndysTake no doubt. Great vids left u a sub and like

They are cool indeed, but I felt like they could've looked EVEN cooler!

He might be… he might just reveal his secrets next week

I always really liked the Vardatoi from the byzantines

in our hearts?

4K

@@AndysTake omg 4k on total war is insane , with what GPU ? !!! I remember you had RTX 3070 ti mobile

Not here

Hell yeah son!

I am relieved you accept 🙏 and for the marines well, I don’t even remember how they look (hides in shame)

@@AndysTake the french deep blue with red pants, but it's not much about their look, but how they melt anything that is in front of them. And also they hired french people just to voice two lines when you zoom in close which brings a new level to the immersion

it was always f tier my friend - f for fun

@@AndysTake you know it
