I never expected Medieval 2 could be played to such a deep level. Impressive! Normally I dislike seiges because a lot more of the game's bugs occur during sieges, but this was super interesting.

Just found your videos. Appreciate all the info and help. Hope you decide to come back to RUclips at some point. Best of luck!

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; - Romans 3:23 And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. - Jeremiah 29:13 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out. - Acts 3:19 If you’re in North America, please go check out any of the churches available to you: PCA, OPC, Rpcna, Urcna, or a Canrc church. (These are conservative and actual Reformed/Presbyterian churches) If you’re Scottish, I recommend the Free Church of Scotland and the APC (Different from the Church of Scotland) If you’re English I recommend the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England & Wales and the Free Church of England (Different from the Church of England) Also online you can look up church finders for each of the groups, it’ll show you locations. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. - Hebrews 10:24-25

Polish Nobles have very high defensive skill, so much that they have more meele armor than General's bodyguard. And their shots pierce armor, so they are great general killers - you just need to attack from the back to avoid shields, then when ammo runs out, you can get them into combat.

So if I attack someone from the back with crossbows it will have simmiliar effectiveness to mustkets? Good to know.

you are underrated

unlike Rome 2 and newer total war games medieval 2 needs trick to make pike works thanks for the info man

I'd be happy if my Medieval 2 worked.

Now it was a very long time :( ...

This is the best playlist for learning this game

That is nice an all but what is the hit chance of a 10 attack unit vs a 10 defene unit? how much value is it really to have more attack? does one attack raise the hit chance by 10 % 50 % 100% ??

Yeah but, what about cannons ? You didn't mention their armor piercing 🤔

quality content! I'm a bit late to the party but any tips on how to use musketeers offensively in a siege? Not a meta strat but a fun one

Just mod them by removing their swords

its a shame the options are to either do really intense micro or to fix the bug which stops them switching to their secondary which makes them incredibly op

Tried to explain this numerous times to Pixelated Apollo that the later period forces of France especially their cavalry were fully armored but used no shield simply because of the uselessness of it against gunpowder.

the way you pronounce saracen makes me lose all respect lol

The way you pronounce “Pavise” pains me.

Anyone has any idea how does the chance of scoring a killing blow works in M2? for example 5 atk vs 5 def is 50% or some other number? what about 5 atk vs 20 def? also, does AP really gets you .5 armor values? or does it get rounded up/down?

Can you upload the save file to drive or smt for those of us who want to play it ourselves?

Hey, will you come back, do you have a new channel? I enjoy your content, would like to see more, if you wont come back can you answer this so i dont keep my hope alive?

Pavise crossbow men fighting in melee and javelin men missle attacking from behind 😉

i thought gunpowder ignored shields, at least according to this video

I have discovered this video once again. Thank you for demistifying this detail of the game.

Does melee attacks on flank ignore or give a 50% debuff to shield too ? How does that work ?

I just use spear wall plus guard mode, which means I use them as a human wall to protect artillery crossbows etc. They’re good at that job even without micro!

Love this! I saw a comment about the moorish peasant crossbows, I also agree! I also love woodsmen...I know they're a basic unit, but they can be super tough and hardy

Most of these guys are still active on online today!

Woodsmen was the staple of garrisoned troops in my Russian campaign. Having a full stack of them blocking the streed made the Mongols detour, bought me enough time to fortify Kiev.

But does anyone know the exact formula that calculates the attack's effect? Is that Attack/(Attack + Defence) = hit probability?

Is there a way to do this in mobile or is it PC only?

so we are supposed to just mash them togheder and then attack when they are close?

Pretty impressive. Good job man

Love to sub

Way impressive, dude! Only thing I would say is: whoever’s this campaign was, they lost it long before this battle.

What happend .? Ur content was amazing Wot hav hapend to this channel

Amazing

Just edit the game files and put zeros on the secondary weapon. This will prevent them from ever switching up with no need to micromanage.

How do the general attack stat interact with the enemies total defense?. Ie the attack is 10, and the targets defense is 5. How does the math work out for damage/killing?

TLDW: (information from video 15:58): - muskets/firearms ignore shields and half the armor - armor piercing attacks ignore half the armor (how about shields?) - armor protects from all directions against all attacks (melee, missile) with reduced effectiveness against firearm and armor piercing attacks - shield protects: 100% front, 50% sides, 0% back and firearms (video doesn't mention shield vs armor piercing effectiveness!) - defense skill only works in melee This is the only video result in google when searching for "medieval 2 armor upgrade", and after spending 20 minutes listening repeatedly about the same basic concepts I still haven't learned anything about armor upgrade. It's good many people find the video "short and concise", but for "Expert Guide" level, I found it repetitive and tedious saying and re-summarizing the same concepts over and over. Just skip to 15:58 to get the last summary. Some questions: - what is the shield effectiveness against Armor piercing attacks? - How do the numbers work? What does 13 attack vs 13 defense mean? What does 13 vs 3 and 3 vs 13 mean? How do they impact the gameplay? - What do the armor upgrades do? Some sources cite that upgrading unarmored units to lvl1 padded armor gives them the actual padded armor protection (i.e. 4 armor) despite the game displaying 1 armor) - 14:50 why does the peasant damage of 1 matter against the archer missile damage of 5-6? That really confused me!

Great video, very useful. Thanks for posting. But there’s some serious maths issues at 10:56 where somehow 6+3.5=10.5 🙃

The mere fact that you have to use two units to do the job of one and micromanage them on top of that is a pretty obvious proof that those units *are* broken.

Or just put timer to 10 minutes, and if ai doesnt capture in 10 minutes, you win.

Thanks for the great video, subscribed.The system is similar to Rome 2 but in rome 2 the unit stats and details are more clear and shown, while in med 2 is only in description like "does piercing damage" lol thats all. Such a pity the developers did not fix some bugs in the definitive edition that would cost them few effort like make pikes work fine, show more details in unit stats, fix cav pushthrough bug, and also allow formation change like rome ctrl+forward/back/left/right keys. Then med 2 would be super awesome. I play and stream Medieval 2 a lot but never was interested in competitive or in detail, this video was suggested to me by youtube so great channel you got for in-detail mechanics of this game My highlights from the video: 11:21 - all gunpowder units ignore the shield defense

Oh my god... I always thought pikemen were weak and disappointing in Medieval 2 compared to RTW until this video and all you had to do was backspace + right-click? I would have never figured this out!

I've read (on twcenter forum, I believe) that 3.5 armour would be 3. There are no halves, it's rounded down to whole numbers.

"The Faust" pdf has totally different (lower) stats. Anyone knows why?

Skill or exploit? I would like to say skill, but I'm not totally sure it is. It does work. That's for sure.

dude this channel is sick!
