Either way, its no secret that Alfred the Great was one of the most successful campaigners against the Vikings. Battles like Brunanburh and Stamford Bridge showed the Vikings weren't invincible in battle as they seemed. Nevertheless they did do very well for themselves considering they were essentially nomads. I did the Vikings in my first year at A-Level, very interesting topic. I didn't mean for any offense by the way :)
@TheDarkFrontier if vikings were that bad then why were they the only one of your many thousand enemies to manage to invade your very homeland in the first place? ignorante vesterlinger... vi vil ha vår hevn. før eller senere, bare vent å se.
I never said the Vikings were bad. The Vikings are remembered today for their ferocity for a reason. Leave it to someone who can't read comments properly to jump to conclusions.
@thekid4242 I mean to pirate it. a.k.a. stealing. Not from a store, from the internet through torrent sharing. Of course, that's not very easy, and buying the game would be much simpler. I'm just saying that that's another way.
@chilimeatpants in options somewhere, gamplay settings i think, turn the option, 'unit scale' to large or its highest setting. that's how you get larger armies. it simply gives u more men per unit that is all.
How can I use 2400 or 3000 men like this? I dont know plzz help, when I do that, some units are outside from the red edge and when they are assigned as AI they do nothing, and I am not able to select them, thats why I am outnumbered sometimes and lose.
@jetixspeed You can go in to options and make the size of each units larger. So on medium, it's like 60 units in a group of spear men. Change the unit size to "large" and it'll make it like 90 units of spear men.
i would say that this is the best game in the total war series. I really hope napoleon has more meele combat regardless of range. I mean range is cool but its much more nicer to watch people die by the sword other than dying by a bullet =D
I'm purchasing Medieval 2 total war gold edition in a few weeks. I'm quite impressed with the videos I have seen, and I was wondering what factions can be played in all?
i didnt find it so, mebe in the beginning, but there r some glitches that if u know how to use them, u really can beat armies that are double your strength, makes the game a little more boring, but im just saying if u wanted to beat it real fast on the hardest settings, that is the easiest way to go. playing it trying to emulate real battles, yes, on the most difficult settings does take real skill
when you beat the game with one of the first few (I did it with the English) it unlucks a whole shit load of factions you can play. (I am talking about the main one)
empire total war was the first and only total war game i own (it was good for like the first 2 weeks then it got boring) , thougth i have orderd this game so its comming like tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
im not going to lie... Medieval 2 and the expansion Kingdoms, is my personal favorite Total war game, and i have had all the games since the moment the first one (Shogun total war) came out. I also really like Rome Total war alot.
I love this game its so tight, but I was way disappointed in Empires Total War, the controls are way harder and yeah it just fuckin sucks. This game is awome though!
Empire Total War will be the best Total War game when it gets fixed. It was released with massive amount of bugs and CTDs. The first major patch was just released which improved the game a LOT but it still needs some fixing. I would wait and get Medieval 2 instead for now.
What a cock plaýing that game. Aint no fun they just stand there.. What a bitch to do such against the danes. If it was real they would have charged right into them without no fear or hasite. And would have won english bitches
yea but it provoke danish people... i'm from denmark and it looks like he's showing that the danish people are cowards. anyway i don't care i just got sympathy for what SAHELLMAND says
yer cos dats wut hapens when archers fire into an army only first row an couple of people fal down...wtf arows would scatter everywhere and pick em off all over the ranks
i love it how this game is more realistic than the first one like when they get hit by arrows on this one its like they actualy get hit by them and dont just collapse randomly
are u sure that u controlled 6000 men ur self? because i dont think i can do that, the maximum number i could control is 3000 soldiers, if i want more i have to let the computer control the remain soldiers.
LOL this is a Custom battle first: you made up their army and then you made your whit pritty much better troops then... you use arrows on easy level actureally did you know you can kill an whole army whit just 5 bow units... you kill ca. 75% then you attack the peasants
you know, the batttle would have lasted longer if you gave the enemy some chevrons, and some less upgrades for your men, also, judging by the tactics of the enemy, I can say this was a battle on easy lvl
troops don't stop right in the firing line on hard! only on easy they let themselves get butcherd like that, and of course they are scared easily, if half their army is made up from peasants!
that's bullshit, I have never seen an army act like that since I play Medieval 2, except in the beginning, when I also played easy... And I don't think V1.00 is the cause of all those peasants in their army...
No no, the peasants was due to enemy's army, they got closed to my fortress and I decided to attack. The campaign difficult is on Hard and they didn't have much archers, only 1 squadron, and I love archers because this. The archers hold the enemy...
wow, that must have been one hell of a campaign cause all of your units have full gold chevrons, armor and weapon upgrade, and they all look like they have full numbers, and it's also weird they didn't have any cavalry then as they normally do, and that they didn't send their archers forward, which any faction will do in battle from difficulty medium...
The Billmen are a bit weak, but they are nice to front attack. I like to use them on my frontline, and archers behind. Swordsmen are too expensive, so do horses, that's why I don't use much of them.
But even ordinary Billmen (not militia) with their armor upgraded and some experience has huge problems with fighting against for instance Scottish Highlanders. When I play as English I usually use Armored Swordsmen.
you mean they lose a lot of guys, I have the same problems with norse axemen, they kill a lot of guys but also lose a lot in the battle, it's probably if the other units is effective against armour
It's probably to do with the fact that they have no shield and are more like hit and run troops. When I use Norse Axeman I usually engage my enemy with swordsmen or dismounted Huscarls and then finish them off with the charge of NA.
you are a nob coz you played as english and the Danish had 2 times weaker units than you.
