#TOTAL WAR SAGA TROY BEST FACTION FULL#

Doesn't require skill to beat Legendary with doomstacks in any given TW title.I have more respect of players like Zerkovich for that on the faction for Odysseus I'd go straight for a full ambusher army and that includes javelins, like a lot! His ambusher or stalker + Warriors of Ithaca are a sight to behold, when thy release the kraken javelins! And the Skaven-ambush stanceįor Menelaus. I use sensible & proper armies,as I'd expect the AI recruits as well - sadly the latter can only be accomplished by thy use of more refined mods. While I *shrug* to legendofcheese and his findings, it's still up to the player to enjoy the game to their liking. A couple of chariots look like a balanced and basically obligatory addition to any army. I'm not suggesting that you should necessarily spam chariots, because many (myself included) don't find such exploits very enjoyable, but there's no doubt that chariots are more than an efficient counter to annoying skirmishers. Seven minutes later, the Achaeans obtained a heroic victory and the Trojans lost the flower of their youth. His tactics simply included massing all his chariots together and then blindly charging at everything in front of him. The auto-resolve obviously gave terrible odds and Legend always play at maximum difficulty, but he didn't even need to apply a sophisticated strategy. In that video, Agamemnon with an army of medium-quality chariots casually destroys almost three full-stacks of elite warriors, while assaulting Troy itself. The secret is, as Legend of Total War explains, to always move the chariots and never let them idle: As a result, chariots are absolutely immune to cavalry and are only threatened by missiles, but, since they are quicker and more powerful than skirmishers, they can easily catch up with them and quickly annihilate them. Soldiers never get stuck and letah blows often aim at the opposite direction. They were always pretty strong in post-Medieval II games, but the crux of the matter is that in Troy collision is essentially broken.

Even average chariots can accumulate hundreds of killings and completely evaporate an elite army. However, skirmishers cannot even come remotely close to the absolute king of the battlefied in Troy, which is your average chariot. As you mentioned, the relative rarity of horse units further exacerbates the problem. They have been strengthened by the introduction of the health-bar system, which has rendered volleys less risky and predictable than before, while their damage output is also increased by the fact that every javelineer, slinger and archer is engaged in battle, contrary to infantry warriors, where usually only the front line participates in the melee (unless, of course, the unit has been encircled). 'Archer' units have been indeed over-powered since at least Warhammer.
