i don't think so. In fact the french knights of that time were too impetuous, so sme of them wanted a glrios battle, not just waiting for the English to starve and surrender; so some of the french kights carged, dragging the whole army with thm.
The French who totally outnumbered the British got slaughtered!
They had major problems with the mud and were very slow even when they got to the british line, all the time getting shot by archers.
The british archers wearing no armor but equipped with a hammer they used to pound in the stakes found them easy prey once combat was joined and there was literally a wall of dead frenchmen before them.
When I first played this battle I nearly pissed myself when the French Knights came out from the forest. It really was the last thing I was expecting, being stupid enough not to check the map at all. Next though, I was ready. I like this historical battle, pretty good overall if you play with good strategy.
This is a great montage. It makes me want to buy the game now. I agree with what most people are saying regarding agincourt: Don't attack longbowmen from long range on foot.
why do so many French knights appear to be on foot? wasn't like that at all besides it seems totally silly to run such a distance in full armour. Was it too much hassle to draw more horses? Ah là là là là là là
na; am really not sure about that at all. they may have dismounted after a while, but not the first charge as far as i know, and what i read was that as it had rained all night, the horses were cnsiderably slowed down as the ground was incredibly muddy. Where do you get that info from? They were on foot at Poitiers in 1356. I may be wrong, but i never heard about them doing such a great distance on foot. I'll check that, and if i'm wrong i'll be back and say i'm sorry
The dismounting was a common french tactic during the hundred-years war(s) It was used in a lot of minor battles and skirmishes after Crecy in 1346. You are right that the running is ridiculous. The battle started with an English advance. They walked slowly to preserve energy and unit cohesion. They stopped at extreme bow range, and planted stakes. Then enticed the french to attack by shooting arrows. The distance walked was about 250-300 yards.
What doesn't make sense? The range? They started harrassing the French with arrows to make them come closer, where they could make a killing arrow-storm.
Their commander wasn't silly. i think you should respect him, he was a genious, and had a genial plan for defeating the english, it's only that the english spoiled that plan by placing themselves so that a frontal charge was the only option. Then the aristocratic noble frenchmen got provoked by the english and charged.
In reality,almost all of the English longbowmen were ravaged with dysentry.They cut patches out of their breeches so they could "shit on the spot" during the battle.Its kinda funny imagining looking from the rear of the english battle line and seeing thousand of asses line up together. :)
i won this battle from the first time i played it , i just kept some bilmen to protect my archers from the back and i won easily , i also focused on attacking the powerful french units and kept my units together , quite easy
The first time I played this I was doing ok until the cavalry attacked the rear. The second time I was prepared for the cavalry with some of my archer units cutting them down, but this allowed the 2nd wave of french infantry to break through the front line, to my mostly helpless archers and I'd prefer Henry's unit enter as a last resort.
What made the difference was advancing my front line to prevent the waves of French from penetrating so close. Remaining: English- 500, French- 200
I counter the cavalry charge with Billmen and Dismounted Knights and leave my Longbows to fire at the infantry and hold up infantry by the front row and some second row infantry(billmen and knights)
I usually send Henry to aid against the outflanking cavalry and then send Henry, the dismounts and the bills to mop up what remains of the front line infantry(remember 3 on 1 is better than 1 on 1 in morale)
Keep your units tied together and you shall prevail(ex : English 400 - French 10)
fuckin awsome vid dude i was thinking of getting these games like rome total war and empire total war looks fuckin awsome but no wi like teh look of this 1
great vid! i thought they said in history books that the english were on top of a steep muddy hill firing arrows down at heavy mounted french nights slowly ploughing up towards them....? (british longbows had huge range on enemy cavalry and mowed them down b4 they even got near them)-looks a bit flat here.
medieval 2 runs farely smooth on the campaign map but the loading takes forever and it lags in battle anyway to fix that besides deleting stuff from your computer?
If you where assaulting in knee deep mud and getting hammerd by arrows, seeing the ELITE of your society falling all around you to some low life peasants dying of starvation... you would shout ATTACK!!! allot simply to keep your fellow men from runnin ;)
Yes, the mud was a factor that was detrimental to the advancing French army. This was implemented into the game also. The cavalry charge is slower—notice how the infantry line doesn't break.
yeah they do, the best way to check ut the best features of the game is to watch the 6 chapters all about 3 min each and the 1st min is always the same
the AI in this game sometimes frustrates me. Like when you're trying to tell units to move somewhere, and they might stop, retrace their steps for a few seconds THEN charge to where you directed them. Extremely annoying when you're trying to chase down a routing enemy family member/king. And it is a whole lot worse when you're trying to direct units inside an enemy castle. The AI defies logic in where it sends your units sometimes.
the king only buyed archers because he was very poor at the time and simply buyed archer because they was half the price of the knights but by doing that it seems it turned out ok
This level is too difficult for me. I swear that 90% of the time my archers just sit on their hands. I trigger off Fire at will because they don't follow my orders. They fire the first volley fine and kill the two units of calvary, but after that they just eat popcorn and watch my infantry die.
strange, if they are in 'fire at will' then they should shoot their arrows at the closest enemy. By the way this mission is not so difficult you should try that one where you are ambushed by egyptians,dont know the name
Yeah thats why I always download a mod after my first campaign in vanilla, something that makes the AI smarter and harder to beat. Check out Deus Lo Vault 5.1 mod or many other quality mods.
anyways this was a fun battle and henry lived when i first played this but i didnt expect to be a flanking french army but i was prepared when they arrived,i think i lost 3 whole units
This battle is easy compared to the Spain battle vs mayans.... i won the spain battle with about 300 man remaining and the mayans had like less than 150 men back in each of their armies... that was tough but this is sorta easy... tho i almost got wiped out when they came from behind..
yeah when i first played this battle i lost because of the army from the rear. i played it again and basicly put my troops in a position in which they could take a hit from anywere and I won
The French lost because they did not believe the English army could withstand them. Large amounts of well armoured knights had assembled to wipe out the English invaders, and they took no heed of tactics.
The English used the muddy conditions and terrain to their advantage, pouring arrows into the approaching enemy as they struggled through the mud and trampled each other in their confusion and eagerness for battle, and retreating behind stakes when attacked by cavalry.
it was a bunch of nobles that where full of themselves and a muddy field the horse got drastically slowed as well as the infantry, where the english had enough time to peck most of them off with there longbows and by the time the rements of the french army got there they where tired and well there was already a lot of casualities
Most of the English were desperate to return to England. Therefore, their minds would be set to a more determined state. The French, out numbering the ENglish and at home had the advantage. They would be so full of themselves, the word defeat wouldnt of even crossed their minds. They were simply too arrogant to have a tacical and organized command system
We must also under stand psychological condition of both armies. The ENglish would of been hungry and sickly, but they would have been inspired by Henry. The French on the other hand, were bickering, arrogant and ignorant. They were un aware of English spirit.
to understand the Battle of Agincourt, you musn't look at how the ENglish won, but how on earth the French lost. But we must also remember that the English had two advantages; Henry of England- a great leader of men and high proportion of Archers. The French lost because of arrogance and rivalry between various nobles fighting for glory. Charles D'Albret's (who was spposed to be in charge) was deprived of his comtrol.
It was actually proven in an experiment that the English arrows didnt harm the French. It was crowd chaos, confusion and the mud that made the French loose. The only soldiers who were able to fight properly were the Archers. The rest were vulnerable. They said in the experiment that an armoured knight, taking his foot out of the mud of Agincourt would be like us lifting our feet with fifteen bags of sugar strapped onto them. It was luck that gave us victory, not the ENglish longbow.
that is not lock their armor that protected them from arrows killed them in mud and then i heard that longbow arrows were able to penetrate armor. then the impact caused by arrows can cause men to fall and step over each other so it is not luck
Maybe it was a combination of both. In rain, archers are practically useless, but the longbowmen had bodkin tipped arrowheads that were armor piercing. While the French had to come to the English, they were shot down. Plus, Henry V inspired his troops before the battle. It was desperation in part because if the English lost, it was no going home. They had their backs up against the wall in this historic battle.
Longbows can't penetrate steel armour, which was what the french were wearing. The longbows virtually useless in the battle of Agincourt. Unless they penetrated near the neck or visor. What killed the french was the massive number of soldiers in heavy steel armour they had marching through the mud. The English had the compacted french funneling towards them. The English longbowmen were able to maneuver easily with no armour in the mud, and take down the heavily armoured french with ease.
the french didnt have much chance of charging did they? there were so many people per square meter that they couldnt move or use their weapons effectivly.
Oh forgiv me u were partly right. They were funneled into a small areaflanked by trees, but th main reason was because they were forced forward and shot to death or suffocated in the mud
great job!! i like how the battle depicted is almost life-like in raw gritty bloodiness. just one question..where are the French crossbowmen that stood powerless against the english longbow? weren't they somewhere in this battle?
The game is still a pain when it comes to instant solution battles. You can outnumber an enemy by over 2,000 and still lose against a force of only 200.
o yes he also composed music for "Enemy of the State"
(by the way a lot of his songs are similar to each other, for example, this song sounds a lot like "The Battle", a song from the Narnia movie. I personally think that the Metal Gear Solid theme is his masterpiece.
Harry Gregson-Williams is such an awesome composer. He composed music for movies like "Armageddon", "The Chronicles of Narnia-The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe", "The Rock", and the theme song for the Metal Gear Solid video games
Nice. Kingdom of Heven music; very professional! Love it. I can hardly seem to win the battle of agincourt. Your infantry just cant hold against wave after wave.
dont get too exited although it may have had the longest range and so the strongest damage but you must read about the other armies than eurpean armies they might have better bows
but the emplace machine guns would mow the troops down u could also use a combination of rifles and archers although in the trenches the archers would probably end up using there bows and arrows as firewood as it was scarce in the trenches
so you mean if they use bows with rifles that is buetiful,but they will still have a disadvantage as rifles have a greater range than any bow so they will be shooting while the archers are not and so not the whole army will be fighting
yer that is true but in the 1st world was some of the trenches were less than 60 feet appart its an idea that will never be tested as it is imposible to recreate the conditions. another wonder of war lol

As far as I know the french just stood there waiting before henrys English troops who were tired diseased and ill fed.
It had been raining all night and was a muddy field which boots of thousands of men had trampled upon
Henry decided to act first and had his archers pull up the stakes theyd planted and advance a bit and replant them while the french did nothing.
This bought the longbow within range and the french got totally slaughtered floundering through the mud.

They would be so full of themselves, the word defeat wouldnt of even crossed their minds. They were simply too arrogant to have a tacical and organized command system

you are right in this analysis

We must also under stand psychological condition of both armies. The ENglish would of been hungry and sickly, but they would have been inspired by Henry. The French on the other hand, were bickering, arrogant and ignorant. They were un aware of English spirit.

to understand the Battle of Agincourt, you musn't look at how the ENglish won, but how on earth the French lost. But we must also remember that the English had two advantages; Henry of England- a great leader of men and high proportion of Archers. The French lost because of arrogance and rivalry between various nobles fighting for glory. Charles D'Albret's (who was spposed to be in charge) was deprived of his comtrol.

It was actually proven in an experiment that the English arrows didnt harm the French. It was crowd chaos, confusion and the mud that made the French loose. The only soldiers who were able to fight properly were the Archers. The rest were vulnerable. They said in the experiment that an armoured knight, taking his foot out of the mud of Agincourt would be like us lifting our feet with fifteen bags of sugar strapped onto them. It was luck that gave us victory, not the ENglish longbow.

that is not lock their armor that protected them from arrows killed them in mud and then i heard that longbow arrows were able to penetrate armor. then the impact caused by arrows can cause men to fall and step over each other so it is not luck
greycloud89 4 years ago
Maybe it was a combination of both. In rain, archers are practically useless, but the longbowmen had bodkin tipped arrowheads that were armor piercing. While the French had to come to the English, they were shot down. Plus, Henry V inspired his troops before the battle. It was desperation in part because if the English lost, it was no going home. They had their backs up against the wall in this historic battle.

Longbows can't penetrate steel armour, which was what the french were wearing. The longbows virtually useless in the battle of Agincourt. Unless they penetrated near the neck or visor. What killed the french was the massive number of soldiers in heavy steel armour they had marching through the mud. The English had the compacted french funneling towards them. The English longbowmen were able to maneuver easily with no armour in the mud, and take down the heavily armoured french with ease.

Longbows can penetrate, but not as good as crossbows. with the speed and accuration it is possible.

Actually, longbows are excellent at penetrating armor.

the french didnt have much chance of charging did they? there were so many people per square meter that they couldnt move or use their weapons effectivly.

In azincourt? Nah the only reason they lost was because they could run through the hick, wet mud, and they were mowed down by the longbowmen.
This is an awesome vid btw incredible...what programs did you use?
praetorian12x 4 years ago
Oh forgiv me u were partly right. They were funneled into a small areaflanked by trees, but th main reason was because they were forced forward and shot to death or suffocated in the mud

great job!! i like how the battle depicted is almost life-like in raw gritty bloodiness. just one question..where are the French crossbowmen that stood powerless against the english longbow? weren't they somewhere in this battle?

The game is still a pain when it comes to instant solution battles. You can outnumber an enemy by over 2,000 and still lose against a force of only 200.

o yeah he did music for "Kingdom of Heaven" too
worldofwarcraft12345 4 years ago
o yes he also composed music for "Enemy of the State"
(by the way a lot of his songs are similar to each other, for example, this song sounds a lot like "The Battle", a song from the Narnia movie. I personally think that the Metal Gear Solid theme is his masterpiece.
worldofwarcraft12345 4 years ago
Harry Gregson-Williams is such an awesome composer. He composed music for movies like "Armageddon", "The Chronicles of Narnia-The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe", "The Rock", and the theme song for the Metal Gear Solid video games

LOL! The battle of Agincourt was in 1415.
You won´t tell me, that longbows were the best weapon until 1915, won´t you?
I would like to see a battle between longbowmen and the Prussian army of 1914^^

sweetlogan101 4 years ago
dont get too exited although it may have had the longest range and so the strongest damage but you must read about the other armies than eurpean armies they might have better bows
greycloud89 4 years ago
i think a longbow would come in handy in trench warfare a rifle fires straight wereas a longbow could lob arrows into enemy trenches lol
michael1151lee 4 years ago
if they have long bows their enemies will go out of trenshes to slaughter them as they only have bows that isnt effective in direct combat
greycloud89 4 years ago
but the emplace machine guns would mow the troops down u could also use a combination of rifles and archers although in the trenches the archers would probably end up using there bows and arrows as firewood as it was scarce in the trenches
michael1151lee 4 years ago
so you mean if they use bows with rifles that is buetiful,but they will still have a disadvantage as rifles have a greater range than any bow so they will be shooting while the archers are not and so not the whole army will be fighting
greycloud89 4 years ago
yer that is true but in the 1st world was some of the trenches were less than 60 feet appart its an idea that will never be tested as it is imposible to recreate the conditions. another wonder of war lol
