Dunno if I want to dl some newer Med II mods, or even Empire ones (although I've had problems with some Empire mods *cough*Total Factions*cough*). Suggestions for good ones?

My newest tactic playing as Carthage is to stretch out my infantry line and put then in defensive mode.
Then wait until the enemy army crashes into my line.
Then I bring out my elephants on the side and run them down the enemy line like a giant bowling ball.
THAT is satisfying to see.
Urgh. I've never been able to utilize any sort of cavalry, horse or otherwise. It's my one weakness.

With Rome and Medieval it's pretty hard not to utilize it it's an unstoppable force.
upgraded knights usually go through static heavy infantry when I play :v
It was so awful in Empire though seriously, if you properly committed to an attack with cavalry you just about destroyed the entire unit.Tagmatium wrote:Scotland is pretty hardcore in Medieval 2.
The archers are p. good.
When I first got it I beat a friend online using Scotland when he had the HRE.
My formation and tactics were ridiculous, maybe I caught him off guard.

Ah, yes.
One of my favorite things to do with Roman infantry is to put them in defensive mode and let the enemy tire themselves out.
When only a few of your men in the unit are fighting and the unit isn't moving while the enemy unit is constantly trying to move forward, the enemy tires out much faster.

In M2TW they were worthless against everything and in Rome they were worthless against sufficiently dense infantry formations.

The whole point of combat in Medieval 2 was putting your lines against each other, breaking the enemy's cavalry screen, then charging them from behind over and over until they all rout.

I must have been playing it wrong then.
I tended to use highly concentrated groups of heavy melee infantry backed up by pike and spear infantry on the falnks. I'd use the normal melee infantry to focus on and break the enemy's center while my spear and pikemen either held the flanks (In the case of flanking enemy cavalry) or enveloped the rest of their forces.

After playing Rome, Barbarian Invasion, Medieval 2 and Empire, I've always been left with the feeling that the orginal Medieval's battles were just slightly more epic than any of the newer ones.
Also, sprites whaling on each other using overhead swings of halberds was funny as.

There was a lot to love in medieval 1 that wasn't in 2. Like promoting your own lords and being able to choose to dismount your knights at the beginning of a battle.
