Total War Arena #13 - Roman Steeds

in dtube •  7 years ago  (edited)


While not as heavy as Cataphract the Roman Cavalry are a force of momentum able to crush their enemies. I've found that they are quite good at pushing through their enemies during combat to improve a flank attack as a support unit. They can quickly wrap fights up and move on to their next soft target.

@Fiskey is playing Julius Caesar with 3 skirmishers and i'm playing Scipio Africanus with 3 Roman Cavalry and the match goes quite well. The enemy fields many heavy infantry but isn't coordinating it properly to their advantage and our a large organised force gets many small battles to fight over the course of the match that we overwhelm with ease.

What did you refer to him as the other day? Scipio Cavicanus? 😁

I'm missing playing Javelins already now that its greek week

Skirmishers are definitely fun to play as long as somebody deals with enemy archers though even if they dont you have hurl at t6. Roman swordsman are great. Greek spears i dont mind but not my favorite. I'm looking forward to barbarian week for wardogs and falxmen

lol i was just rewatching that match at 3.19 a friendly catapult absolutely wrecks me. As a single player he did the most damage to me all game lol

Friendly catapults are a cavalry players worst nightmare

and friendly archers and friendly skirmishers in fact could you all just stop trying to help lol
