Welcome back to rome total war but this time REMASTERED! In rome TW we will be playing as the Scythians a faction of Nomadic Horse archers who are tasked with invading the eastern world and then later conquering the entire roman empire! Now when it comes to the historical accuracy of Rome: Total War Remastered we will be pushing the fabric of reality and history by just exploiting the AI factions with the ancient equivalent of an attack helicopter , Of course no helicopters existed at the time however overpowered horse archers did! This is going to allow us to perfectly balance Total War Rome and find a way to beat the game with just overpowered horse archers!
This video is going to be packed with funny clips in a montage style of british humor! If you enjoyed this then check out my other 100 stat man and perfectly balanced game series videos!
It is also rather similar to Robbaz , Valefisk and RT Game in style of content!
So sit back relax and enjoy this total war rome remastered with the power of exploiting the ai and overpowered units! Can The Spiffing Brit Break this perfectly balanced strategy game by using a horde of endless long range horse archers.

@stunseed8385
@stunseed8385 Год назад
well, rifles didn't exist till like the mid 19th century, and even then they were still muskets, so it was hard af to reload on horseback. Cavalry tend to use carbines instead which were shorter guns and easier to reload, but that has less range than the infantrymen muskets, so you can see how bad an all cavalry army would be in this period. Cavalry still had their place, but def not as main battle line units. Real life example would be the battle of the pyramids when the mounted mamelukes got utterly destroyed by the french infantrymen.

@christopherg2347 2 года назад
Some remarks: - Romans being bodied by light horse archers is not anachronistic. Just ask Crassus how well fighting the Parthians worked out! - The Phalanx is not a anti-cavalry formation. It is a anti-infantry formation - that is actually uniquely vulnerable to flanking by cavalry. The Phalanx is a formation of extremes: A Phalanx from the front is the single deadliest thing in that age. Fighting a well ordered Phalanx from the front is akin to charging into a machinegun nest. The only one that can beat a phalanx from the front, is a better phalanx. Even roman heavy infantry can at best hope to hold it's ground. I won numerours 20 units siege battles against the AI with like 6 Militia Hoplites arrayed in a street. However if a phalanx formation is broken, disordered or attacked from anywhere but the front it is basically dead. The average Hoplite is a crappy spearmen with a really good formation. - the Spartans are a elite hoplite trooptype. It will not fare any better against the legendary horse archer spam, because of hte Phalanx weaknesses but they are still a level above "Armored Hoplites".

there were two things that at least attempted to make horse archers balanced in the original: limited ammo, and you can´t rush cities without a spy opening the gate for you, and even then you could block the gate..... what am i talking about horse archers were never blanced in rome total war

Not necessarily more. Outmaneuver them with light infantry and they'll be slaughtered easily. Armored infantry with shields to tank arrows and let them run dry can help but isn't required.

You can counter hoplites easily with 2 groups of heavy cavalry too- it's riskier, but you just feint them on one side, then charge into the rear with a group of heavy cavalry and you can take out the hoplites with very low casualties

Ah good old times. I remember playing the original with the Seleucid faction and realizing they are totally broken. I stopped 6 full stacks of roman legions with just phalanxes stacked in a single street. 3 units stacked onto each other and another 3 behind them (just in case they actually manage to defeat the first stack of 3 (they never did)). The bigger cities had only 2 entrances to the main square which made it even easier to defend. The most fun I had later on after watching a documentation about the battle of Waterloo and how the kare formation (or infantry square formation) was the most effective one every made for people who had spears or bayonets. I tried it out on open battle with again phalanxes and a few archers in the middle. Just stack them somewhere in the corner of the map. 1 full army defeated 3 roman legions. Was absolutely glorious!

You can actually pull a similar strategy off in "stronghold crusaders", "age of empires", etc. what can I say, cavalry archers, are decent units.
@bubbasbigblast8563
@bubbasbigblast8563 3 года назад
For those wondering how you counter large numbers of horse archers: 1. Infantry with shields at the front, since they won't take much comparative damage. These are here to zone the enemy horses out, so they can't shoot at unshielded units without risking themselves. 2. Slingers are almost a hard counter, since the Horse Archers don't have time to dodge, don't have much armor, and can't match the numbers. 3. Archers to make sure the Horse Archers at least have to run all the time, so they exhaust themselves. 4. Skirmish cav waiting in the back for the Horse Archers to tire themselves: once the Horse Archers tire, javelins can do damage both on a charge, and by shooting the backs of the Horse Archers as they try to run. Melee light cav can do much the same, but are a bit less effective if you don't have enough to flank. The AI doesn't know how to deal with horse archers, but the AI will also charge a Phalanx from the front, so...

This is actually historically accurate. And i just did a gameplay with everything on max difficulty with the Parthians, it was a walk in the park, 90% of the battles were heroics victories. the only thing that can give you trouble are Chariots and Elephants. Chariots can decimate your entire horse arche army of you arent carefull. And they are actually faster, so you are to be very carefull with them, and elephants are damage sponges, and they can also kill your entire army if you arent carefull. But other than that, it is just going in circles around them. easy win. The only ones that gave me real troubles were the Scythians, because their horse archers are even better and they also use them in large amounts, so most of the time i could not do the "circle" on them.
