  • Sucks,what when you have 5vs5 units? This is bad tactics

  • @ProProgramMeaker All tactics here can be easily applied to "5vs5 units." I only did the few units at once so I could more easily illustrate the point and do it quickly. Don't blame the video for your strategical ineptitude.

  • they should of made a v formation when spartacus was sacking all the settlement in italy

    

  • @iskclifton If they were facing a half-wit AI, it would've worked wonders lol

see all

    How would you counter the V-formation?

  • @pqnelson There are two ways to reduce casualties the first one is to use heavy infantry wich will eventually brake the spear wall and the second one is to skirmish the troops in the v formation(with firing missiles if possible) so you lower their morale and their numbers too and than attack with the best unit you have.

  • I think that it is more effective to simply place a phalanx unit in front of the gate and two on the sides.

    It works very well for me.

  • Is there any way to counter the V-formation?

  • Use serveral V formations in a row to create a wedge formation and then you are unstoppable :)

  • With what programm did you record it? Nice vid. Btw...

  • @LonesomeDucky about proprogrammeaker, he obviously doesnt understand the concept of micromanagement

  • the first two tactics was pretty much common sense..

    but that V formation is new! thanks man!!

  • When I try to destroy buildings with catapults (right click on building) they don't do anything, what am i doing wrong?
