Shogun 2 Multiplayer 1v1 Replay Commentary #00024 "Ashigaru spam? No shame in your game"

[gabrielhuanosto]

ilike the demo buts its too laggy for my laptop, iwish i could buy the full game and play online n stuff but itll be a waste of money if my laptop cant support it,..where can i get those game card thingys? any suggestions? i have a 2.9 GHZ with 3.0 RAM and 300GB disk space ive only used 40 GB and its a dell inspirion 1545 with the dell intel core 900. wat do you use? mac?

[smudzi]

ive stopped playing shogun and went back to napoleon. everyone goes for ashigaru or cavalry spam. Whats the point of avatar conquest if you're not using your new units but stick to the peasants

and if they dont its just noobboxing with artillery.

but nice vid

[AnjinSanTW]

@smudzi well luckily most of the artillery I run into is just fire rockets to which I just simply laugh and it makes me happy to see them waste money. Despite the ashigaru influence now I will still continue to push builds that aren't dependent on them. I've even recently acquired 2 veteran bow cav now that I'm excited to try and rank up and see just how effective they are with max upgrades. Hopefully the next DLC will bring some better upgrade options for samurai and naginata units though.

hah anjin u seam to always face strange armies, for example when u faced a guy with only matchlocks and went up the hill and camped, and facing armies with fire rockets, i'v never seen another fire rocket after the patch and now ashigaru spam.

lol well anyways nice commentay as always ;]

[AnjinSanTW]

@MiniUchiha Yea lol... I can honestly say that a lot of my battles don't make the upload cut either. I just don't want to highlight repetitive game play. I do fight some weird army compositions quite often though. Going to try to get some 2v2's and 3v3's with Alphy and Vizeroh though. We sat around for what, like an hour or two just trying to find a match yesterday that never happened.

[MiniUchiha]

@AnjinSanTW hah well yeah it's hard to find 2vs2 or 3vs3 now days and btw i really like that u face quite strange armies cuz i rarely do so it's nice to see something different ;]

[sansonuke]

2700 units lol what a joke. Very useful video, yet I feel with the slightest slip up you would lose. It's obvious you were the better player but the flavor of the month build was close to winning. I hope the next patch addresses the loan sword spam army.

[AnjinSanTW]

@sansonuke Yes there certainly is strength in numbers and thats probably why I consider this ashigaru spam build style the most forgiving. Even if he senselessly loses a few units he still has an overwhelming number of troops to fall back on. I could honestly play the same way, but I just feel like its not challenging in the least bit. I can see my play style and tactics growing as I play these armies and despite the fact that they are so common place my win/loss ratio % is still growing.

[AnjinSanTW]

@sansonuke I'd also like to note that I rarely play anyone under rank 10. The lowest I normally fight is 8 with an occasional 7 if I think they have a good record and will provide a decent fight. Anyone 7 and lower though I leave the battle lobby. I could easily fight these people to boost my stats but I honestly would rather not waste my time since I don't feel that I learn anything from these battles.

[Vizeroh]

Overall great battle.It was perfect to bring him into you, you made his matchlock ashis worthless with their poor accuracy by making them fire into the woods at your men. Most likely causing more friendly kills, then enemy. And beautiful cav work. =D

[AnjinSanTW]

@Vizeroh thank you, its always a good idea to always take a step back and look at the terrain to see what you can utilize to an advantage. I think he got over confident in his army comp and just said screw it, i'll march through this big open area. Thankfully he didn't bring spear units though and his rally wore off or I probably wouldn't of lasted much longer.

after being blocked by PoM over an inane comment, i now only watch your own and heir's videos. and i have to say i look forward to yours just as much. my 2 cents on the loanspam, its such a controversial thing right now, but honestly i welcome it. i know its unoriginal and boring, but i have never actually lost to one. like you with your great guards, i always bring 2+ katana cav, and their is just something so glorious about a few units of cav smashing 3 times their number of foot troops. peace

[Vizeroh]

@Kh4yl Even a not vetted No Dachi, would wipe the floor with a 9 shev loan sword.

[AnjinSanTW]

@Kh4yl Thank you, I appreciate your support. I'm by far not the best commentator though but I'm trying to improve. HoC provides a lot of entertainment and sound tactical insight which is why he will probably always be the most prominent commentator. There are even quite a few commentators that are much better players than I am but for as long as I play I will continue to try and better myself.
