Once I was playing with the Otomo, with an army full of Portuguese thirds and that cavalry, accompanied by some samurai with katana and naginata, I faced at least two complete stacks of the Oda in a castle without improving, send all thirds to the walls and accompany them with that dismantled cavalry and it was an absolute massacre. The Oda troops trying to climb my walls looked like US troops trying to take Omaha beach.
Otomo Donderbuss in multiplayer. Glorious. I remember one instance in a siege defense. Since your infantry can't shatter off the battlefield I used my ashigaru as cannon fodder against all those bear infantry everyone so loves. The bear infantry made it over the walls, and were attacked from one side by my ashigaru, while my donderbuss rode up beside them. Two volleys later and the enemy was routed. Enemy player didn't have time to react. Another one was a dual siege defense with my friend. We lost most of our units early on to enemy artillery and a foolhardy charge outside our walls. Then the enemy started scaling them. I guess they had just given their men orders to climb through all three walls and cap the flag, because they were walking right by my donderbuss, which I'd forgotten about. I looked back to see what they were up to and saw a massive pile of bodies in front of them. It didn't end there. One of our enemies had dismounted his general and started climbing the wall right next to a gate house. I rode out, set up, and shot-funned his entire general right off the walls. I'll never forget the joy.
Top 5 underrated unit, I would put bow Cav on mine. I think they are almost hands down beater than Yari Cav. The reason I say almost is because they are quite weak to other Cav. But the way I use my Cav both in Siege Battles and field battles is by baiting part of there army around so they are basically out of the fight. I use my light Cav this way and this bow Cav you can even kill Yari units after a good amount of time firing at each other. Opponents rarely use Cav units, and if I have to sacrifice a few Bow Cav to kill a general before any of them get close to my walls then so be it.
Yari Ashigaru provide excellent defense against enemy cavalry charges. But their tight formations leave them vulnerable to missile troops and skilled Infantry units.
6 years after, here I am commenting haha. "This unit is so powerfull you should be afraid even when you're the one controlling" Yeah, I lost almost a whole blunderbuss cavalry to a voley of my own other blunderbuss once
Do not forget about the Bullet Proof Samurai. yes they are the same armour as a naginata, but their armour stops bullets. Did tests even against modern units and they can withstand much. and they are a yari unit getting the anti cav bonus and fast charge bonus. Upgrade them right and you have a fantastic unit.
I don't think you get the premise of this video. It's not a video about the best units, it's a video about the most powerful units, I explain this pretty clearly at the start of the video.
I think that if you use the Hanzo's demons correctly you can devastate a lot of unmounted units before you even get into melee combat, and when you do get into combat they usually come out doing quite well. But, for cavalry I think that the Spears Of (Shizukage?) are really good units if also used correctly. But I could agree that these guys you listed are still pretty damn good. But I never found the donderbuss to be that hard to fight. I used to have them as cavalry units when I played for the Ottomo as enemies and I usually had a pretty good win against them. I suppose if you are in a skirmish with unmounted units they are a nightmare, they usually get chased off my my cavalry.
I don’t think you get the point of this list though. It’s not about how good a unit is overall or how easy they are too use, it’s about which units can deal the most amount of damage in the shortest amount of time, I thought I explained that pretty well.
Honestly this is the only reason I use matchlock infantry despite their late-game access. It's satsifying to hear the volleys of guns, men die in droves, and they rout shortly after. (No Otomo DLC yet)
MrSmartDonkeyLP Takeda because Horses, and the early game bonus of op Light Cavalry. PDA because ashigaru. Shimazu because of location (the corner of the island, also sword bonus. Chosokabe because farm bonus and bow bonus, Tokugawa because ninja.
@@siegelink9549 Naw, its all about how you use them. In a siege, I would argue that one matchlock unit can shell out as much damage as 4 archer units. Place a heavily armored unit at the base of the wall, and put gunners up top, and watch the carnage add up.
@@spencerleava2502 Archers do more and 0 Friendly fire. I have done the same thing with archers and they FAR MORE damage. Guns kill less because they not only have less range, but they can't shoot over units. When you put your guns on top of the wall and shoot down to your own units, they will take damage. I have done it with both guns and archers.
my top five fav unit :1.shimazu katana hero. this maybe cheating but this is my top 5. 2.armstrong guns. 3.red bear infantry. 4.shimazu heavy gunners. 5.shimazu katana samurai.......i love shimazu because its the faction of anti-inf faction while the AI in the campaign doesnt recruit much cav unit
Odachi/nodachi were used but not in the manner shown in shogun 2. These ken/sword were usually 2 to 2 & 1/2 Kg's in weight very hefty with the length shy of 60inches generally/just under 6 foot. A nodachi is a scaled hefty Tachi being a Cavalry/infantry Great sword as Tachi is the Chinese character for big blade essentially. Tachi stems from tatsu meaning (cleave off) Dachi were only used mounted as swinging nodachi on foot was highly impractical. You basically used the swords weight & horses momentum to cleave people in 2. Do keep in mind European & far east Great swords mean very different thing though both are big they are basically completly different weapons for completly differing applications. Both the tachi & Nodachi are older then the katana with Tachi around since the Koto Jidae roughly 900ad. when the bigger heftier No dachi came to be is unclear some time around in the Kamakura period 1185－1330's roughly.
Generally not too big a fan. Portuguese Tercos are good, and so are most of the units that use other types of guns, such as the Shimazu Heavy Gunners and Otomo Donderbuss Cavalry. Generally I think Matchlock units aren't too amazing though, especially with the Fire by Rank ability not working properly.
Sure, they've got their uses, but generally for me it's not worth investing the time it takes to meet their recruitment requirements. I usually finish the campaign before I'd even get close to unlocking any kind of gun units since they're fairly far down my list of priorities. I'd only ever really get them to spice things up, but only if it's with a faction in which it fits the theme, otherwise I care even less.
Besides the fact that they're one of the worst units in the game, they aren't powerful at all. They don't destroy a unit in a charge or even with a throw of their fire bombs. That was what this video was about, the only thing that mattered is how quick a unit can kill.
"Since I don't have access to nukes I have to make do with Total War games" suggesting that, if he had access to nukes, he'd use them to watch hundreds of men die in a matter of seconds.
Nah, but I took a break from Shogun 2 for a while, and I don't want to continue a campaign that's over a year old, I'll have no idea what's actually going on in the campaign, and it'd be weird to restart a campaign on my channel after so long. So I'll just redo the entire thing.
Does it bug anyone else that after fire weapons hit in total war games, like Quicklime in ETW and NTW, or the fire weapons in STW, that soldiers walk right through fire with no effect?
Could you please make a video with bows/trumpet sound fix, no thread that i found seems to fix the issue and it iso frustrating to be unable to play favourite total war after all these years
I would've put loan swords on this list. Cheap to recruit, don't require special buildings, wait time: 1 turn. Flood the fields with these human bullet ants and the map is yours.
that's a whole 'nother matter, then. a no-dachi contingent is worth 3 loan-swords-- and you know how fast 3 loan swords will take down an enemy contingent, making them a tactical unit with few peers. but in terms of individual contingents flexing their muscles, there are much stronger choices.
Indeed, I'm not disputing the loan-swords power, but for the purpose of this list they had no place on it. I rated them relatively high on the Top 15 Unique Units though.
Portuguese Tercos. They are the only foreign unit in the game and also are the best matchlock units in the game in my opinion. Just like with the Donderbuss Cavalry only the Otomo clan can recruit them.
Multiplayer is a different beast though, my experience is based almost solely on singleplayer experience, and that's what I'm basing all these Top 5 videos videos on.
Sub Earned,because I play shimazu with Rockets and Heavy Gunners. (I used some mod that makes the Rockets available at near last building level,if you're confused now I can train Rockets at the gunsmith,instead of Arsenal)
I am, but I'm not trying to conceal my accent, this is just how I talk. I could put on a British accent in all my videos, that would be trying to conceal my real accent, but what you hear is just how I talk.
Please don't sir, I love that Dutch accent! I'm also a big fan of your vids hence why I was prying like a brute and being ridiculously curious about your background. Forgive my rudeness. Thank you for the amazing work!
It's not really about what you or I prefer in this video though. It's about which units deal the most damage in the shortest amount of time. And it doesn't matter how strong 40 men are, they just don't deal damage faster than 80 or 160 men. They'll do better man for man over a longer period, but that's not the point of the video.
I think you misunderstood the meaning of this video, I explained it quite clearly at the start. This isn't the best units in Shogun 2, it's the units that kill the fastest.
I don't think you get the premise of the video. I thought I explained it pretty well in the video, but I guess I will do so again here. If you watched my Top 5 Best Units video I placed Yari Ashigaru at #1, because they are the best overall unit in the game. This video showcases the top 5 most Powerful Units. Meaning units that can deal an insane amount of damage in a short amount of time. Yari Ashigaru are not that type of unit, they are very strong in many aspects, but they don't kill hundreds of enemy men in a matter of seconds. I hope this explains it.
First of all, the top 5 worst units is an older video where I made a mistake placing them, as I rectified a week later by making a follow up video and making a pinned comment in all caps on the original video that leads to the video talking about how I made a mistake. Secondly, this video isn’t “best” units. It’s “most powerful”, as I clearly described at the start of the video. I have a “best units” video as well that goes over the 5 best units overall. This list goes over which units kill the fastest which again, you would’ve known had you not skipped the intro.
Excuse me what the hell? where are the Yari samurai? i'll have you know they STOMP whatever is thrown their way they are cheap too making them an excellent fighting unit I am giving this video a dislike as I feel you did not give the Yari Samurai the place they deserved
4:21 "In the right hands, they will kill hundreds of men in a few single volleys"
"Since I don't have access to nukes."
Dismounted donderbus cavalry on a siege defence is glorious
Oh man, forgot about that, indeed they are.
glorious
I havn't tried that yet. good idea
Once I was playing with the Otomo, with an army full of Portuguese thirds and that cavalry, accompanied by some samurai with katana and naginata, I faced at least two complete stacks of the Oda in a castle without improving, send all thirds to the walls and accompany them with that dismantled cavalry and it was an absolute massacre. The Oda troops trying to climb my walls looked like US troops trying to take Omaha beach.
Yes Caesar...
If only you had those units with you during your campaign in Gaul.

1. Armstrong Guns
2. Armstrong Guns
3. A third Armstrong Gun
4. Sharpshooters
5. You forgot your Armstrong Guns
Top 5 underrated unit, I would put bow Cav on mine. I think they are almost hands down beater than Yari Cav. The reason I say almost is because they are quite weak to other Cav.

I miss the Shogun 2 multiplayer even more than I miss the pre-balancing OP units.

Top 5 clans: Takes a, Oda, Shimazu, Chosokabe and Tokugawa?
*Takeda
It's hard to judge the top 5 best clans. What do you base them on?
MrSmartDonkeyLP Takeda because Horses, and the early game bonus of op Light Cavalry. PDA because ashigaru. Shimazu because of location (the corner of the island, also sword bonus. Chosokabe because farm bonus and bow bonus, Tokugawa because ninja.
MrSmartDonkeyLP I don't count DLC since that would be unfair to non DLC players. otherwise Promo would replace Tokugawa.
Both Tokugawa and Hattori Ninja's are actually worse than standard ninja's due to an error on CA's side.
the donderbuss clip was absolutely Priceless.
I'm glad these edited video's work out for you and your channel
Thanks man, so am I. The response is what makes me actually want to put in the effort.
Great information again, having just recently got the game I find these videos very helpful
Appreciate it, glad to be of help. :)
It's a fantastic game. Shame you didn't get to try the multiplayer while people played.
I just started this game as my first total war, i have 11 hours on it and now want to replay shimazu now I have the dlc for the heavy gunners
I like the fact you acknowledged your mistake in the rocketeers. Onwards for more videos!
Kisho Ninjas are one of the best defense units. I don't know how many times a handful of them have saved my ass in a castle defense.
Not nearly as good as gunners when it comes to sieges : P

What's your opinion on matchlock units in general, MrSD?
Generally not too big a fan. Portuguese Tercos are good, and so are most of the units that use other types of guns, such as the Shimazu Heavy Gunners and Otomo Donderbuss Cavalry. Generally I think Matchlock units aren't too amazing though, especially with the Fire by Rank ability not working properly.
They are fantastic to put a dent on the enemy front line though, sometimes its enough to put some of those frontline troops wavering!

I usually finish the campaign before I'd even get close to unlocking any kind of gun units since they're fairly far down my list of priorities.

Hey Donkey I noticed you havent done a Uesugi campaign, I think you should as I think its probably the hardest faction
They are indeed, which is why I will do them last, after I've finished the Tokugawa and have redone the Mori.

Nah, but I took a break from Shogun 2 for a while, and I don't want to continue a campaign that's over a year old, I'll have no idea what's actually going on in the campaign, and it'd be weird to restart a campaign on my channel after so long. So I'll just redo the entire thing.
And then after the battle all of your donderbuss units committed seppuku for killing their lord.
Hey, in the "Rise of the Samurai" dlc, it's only a new campain or it adds new clans to custom battles too ?
If you haven´t found out yet, it provides new clans and units. You can also use them in MP
The fire rockets are amazing for defense
Does it bug anyone else that after fire weapons hit in total war games, like Quicklime in ETW and NTW, or the fire weapons in STW, that soldiers walk right through fire with no effect?
i love the date no-dachi
Could you please make a video with bows/trumpet sound fix, no thread that i found seems to fix the issue and it iso frustrating to be unable to play favourite total war after all these years
I don't have the problem, so I've never had to use the fix. There's loads of mods that fix it though.
I think that the Tokugawa mounted gunners are better than the dinderbuss cavalry as you can move and shoot
Love the outro music
The fire rockets are so fun.
Maybe the dunderbuss cavalry have personal problem with the daimyo

We don't have nukes but we do have off shore bombardment. At least in Fall of the Samurai.

Excuse me what the hell? where are the Yari samurai? i'll have you know they STOMP whatever is thrown their way they are cheap too making them an excellent fighting unit I am giving this video a dislike as I feel you did not give the Yari Samurai the place they deserved
