the us probably could of won if it weren't for the trolls. It would be cool to see a similar set up but with medieval units charging the bridges and a smaller individual force to guard each bridge
The trolls carried the zombies to victory, without them the US still would have lost due to the shear number of zombies, but it would have been way closer of a battle.
Having a part of the defending army on attack mode was super fun. It keeps the fight way more dynamic. And also having the trolls as some kind of hero-zombie was very nice. It gives some personality to the faceless swarm.
Maybe it's more fun, but when they attacked they scattered and at this point it was clear they would lose. An army with defensive units-only would win. Even if it would only be garanteed without trolls imho.
Those shotgunners on the other bridge nearly lost it to the trolls but pushed them back and reclaimed the bridge, then held onto it until everyone else lost their positions. Bravo to them. And just an eyeballing of them it seemed once they retook it, they lost little to none defending until they were flanked.
The damage on the thompsons and shotguns needs to be raised to at least the level of a roman with a sword, the fire rate needs to double, and the shermans need their machineguns, at least two if not all three of them. also the shermans need to have twice the fire rate that they have, one shot every 4 seconds.
That would make the entire WW2 faction untouchable which would render them unusable in battles. The shotgun and kar98 do need a damage buff, and thompson could have a slightly better RoF and dmg. Not sure about the shermans changes though, I think it would need direct dev intervention because it changes up a lot of mechanics (no unit has 2 weapons so far) and given how much they're working on (they want to double the units and maps currently in game), they wouldn't spend time to change a single unit, and I don't want them to. Daley has a lot of other more accurate WW2 sim videos, you should check them out if you want more realism :)
Dynamic fun battle. One thing I would suggest is I think a timelapse of defenses slowly getting overrun would be more interesting than some of the ones you chose. Focusing on the static rooftop fighters when the other flank was being overrun and missing that collapse entirely was an odd choice.
The downfall of the battle for the US was when the right wing got too overstreched and eventually died, making trolls and zombies pour in and destroy the scattered defenses. Also when the main bridge defense got so many kills that the body pile created a bridge over the river for the zombies to cross.
I think it wasn’t over-stretching that got the right flank but at the bridge thanks to the buildings American fire was separated leading to their defeat the Ai should have been less greedy on their approach or noted the problem and pushed forth. “That zombie bridge” also wrecked the Americans because now the zombies could take cover from Sherman and extra definitely not all but extra Thompson fire.
In the future, you need to emphasize the static flanks more, and perhaps have a final reserve in the rear. With so many zombies and body piles negating fixed defensive emplacements (and blocking ranged weapons). I think you need to separate your forces in two; the meat shields and the final redoubt in the hills.
Might've gone better if you'd had one Sherman on the bridge, two providing support fire from higher elevation, and maybe have a Sherman on each flank attacking with the shotgunners. It was really the trolls and then the body pile(s) hindering line of fire that brought the U.S. down. "We killed so many we couldn't see the rest of them!"
My favorite battle thus far! The stations and chokepoints made the terrain interesting, and the attacking shotgunners made the whole thing more dynamic and surprising. I doubt the military would have survived nearly that far if they hadn't pushed through to the side bridges like that!
The piles helped the zombies a little, but it the flank which completely destroyed the US. If the main bridge would be set to assualt, they would eventually push out (unlike the left flank, which couldn't because they had less support) and get surrounded after overextending, like the right flank.
The assault is obviously the main reason they lost. Firepower is everything in this game, since they're no friendly fire. A static concentrated mass is just 100x more powerful. That's actually why the first assault team on that second bridge did so well: they (mostly) stopped moving, overall I mean. And concentrated their fire, by some miracle.
Loved this video! Absolutely LOVED IT! The surprise entrance of the Trolls was a thrill! You having the units of shotgunners working as counter-offensive really helped out! I think a mix of mobile defenders and a mystery attacker is going to make these battles MUCH more dynamic and memorable 😊
I had a feeling the body piles were going to be the ultimate undoing for the US. With so many zombies, they'd make their own bridges and the tactical advantage of the defenders would be gone.
I would really like to see, if you do this again, a main force on each bridge! If it's supposed to be a bridge defense then each bridge should be defended. So the zombies have to work for the flank. They were spread to thin over all the bridges on this map to give a accurate fight. Great video as always! Love your content!
You should do free for all: god archer, German sniper,god tank,super spartan, Tesla guy I forgot his name (Tesla guy) ,chunk Norris ,German light machine gun?,and any unit of your choice
I really think that the Army could’ve won if there were no trolls mixed in. And maybe if more troops were added to the right side attacking force. They did not have enough troops to defend all of those bridges to the right, where as the left all focused on one bridge and probably could’ve kept them at bay if they weren’t surrounded at the end.
Unfortunately, the zombie's numbers were just too big. Trolls helped to soften the U.S. forces, but ultimately I don't think they really mattered. Once the body piles began to form secondary and tertiary bridges where the U.S. forces were weaker, it was over. It certainly didn't help that a huge portion of the U.S. shotgunners went and suicided themselves by taking additional bridges. The first group, sure, they did good. However, the second push on the "right" side shouldn't have happened. Once the first push were routed that plan should've been aborted and shotgunners should've stayed put and ran interference for the SMG gunners. Even then, the zombies numbers still would've overwhelmed them eventually, but it might've delayed the end a bit longer.
@@pierrecurie The first bridge and the second, sure. When they went for the third though they opened themselves up for flanking on the fourth which was very close by. Could've worked if they'd taken both at the same time, but failing and trying again cost them most of their shotgunners. I agree, crossing the bridges and fighting on the other side was dumb, but it didn't cost as many lives as failing to take the third bridge twice.
@@LifesGuardian Someone in the comments said they used 2,000 USA troops vs 5 million zombies. They said they put shotgunners on hold with the rifleman behind them. Supposedly the USA won.
So I think a lot of these things miss one thing. Tanks can probably crush more zombies under their tracks than they would ever have ammunition to shoot.
I didn't believe it was possible as soon as I saw the shootgunners running towards the zombies. No chance to win at at all, despite the ones on bridge2 doing surprisingly well (because they stopped moving, actually), it was kind of a miracle honestly. No troll + static units would probably be a win. If the units are well placed.
I would like to see the same setup with only zombies (5 million) and then the same setup with only 2,000 trolls. I am curious (with the way the body piles were) if it would end up being closer, but still a US loss with only the zombies.
Hey man I made a custom coax Sherman that’s pretty balanced on battle like these if want the stats lemme know. Good for flank defense. A little tired of plain Sherman’s without using the coax gun
8:00 - идея с троллями издалека - оч крутая))) солдаты закрепились) а те пришли их разносить)) норм 20:00 всё было круто) но солдат было мало и зря ты их послал в разные стороны + не показал как сдали левый мост ( было бы интересно глянуть)
This looks familiar. Same map, I had the US Army hold with just 2,000 against 5 million zombies. You put shotgunners defending on the bridge itself, with riflemen overlooking them on the shore, and then tanks on either side of them along the river bank. Result I got was not one casualty among the US forces.
@@KirbyZhang The zombies were killed on the far side of the bridges when I did it. The piles were tall, but the piles also didn't extend far onto the bridges. I haven't tried it with the most recent updates though, my version was before nukes got introduced.
Suggestion.. same/similar bridge defense.. add some snipers (not to uber, but like 800 range-ish, + more damage per shot).. BUT make ALL the attackers TROLLS, plus some MEGA TROLLS (25,000 health, and buffed stats like attack speed). Maybe 20-30 tanks in defense.. and a mix of attack w/shotgunners like you did, plus guard with some, and hold with most.
Thank you for another great video. I wanted to compliment you on your narration of the battles. They are both informative and entertaining. I would love to see a few training videos or tutorials if that’s possible. Thank you so much again for a lot of good entertainment.
I actually think it's good they glitch themselves up, otherwise it's unfair as there aren't any genuine ways to get up, so if they patch it then they also need to make it so troops can't stand up in those spots, as they aren't going to edit maps to add stairs at this point.
I like to imagine these million plus zombie hordes are coming from cities and army units are trying to take out as many as they can before the horde takes over more towns.
I have seen a few bridge battles and when there are millions of zombies as they die they are able to form body bridges. To limit it you set up the forces to kill not front line, but in the rear of the zombies.
Here's some info for if you want to try and create more close/more even battles, the following units are ranked in this order (based on a round robin tournament i did of 1mil of each of the units: 1. Spartan (5/5 Wins/Battles) 2. Roman (4/5 Wins/Battles) 3. Egyptian Spearmen (3/5 Wins/Battles) 4. Egyptian Warrior (2/5 Wins/Battles) 5. Footman (1/5 Wins/Battles) 6. Persian (0/5 Wins/Battles)
I don't even know how I didn't know of the existence of these simulators, but you have made me be completely glued to the screen for the last 4 hours. For this battle I knew it was doomed pretty early on, the rate of losses for US was already proportionally higher and then the trolls appeared... RIP. lol love these good job bro
I just discovered these battle simulations. Thanks! They're so fun. If possible I think spreading out 4 Sherman tanks (2 on the main bridge and one to advance on each flank) might help. Also, it looks like 2.5 millions zombies was the tipping point. The US forces collapsed after that. So maybe 30,000 US troops are needed, or maybe 20,000 but positioned differently. Anyway, thanks again.
First did you see Markiplier posted an Epic battle simulator 2 vid and also some ideas (sorry if you have done them) 1. in the total war games there are historical battles you could do a playthrough and talk tactics and possible historical context. 2. Using total wars custom battle set up do some difficult seiges either attacking or defending. 3. Show some of the more funny warriors in Epic battle simulator 2 . Like do a massive battle between all the animals. 4. Set up some ranged hero units on top of towers and ro the body pile one the rower rather than the wall.
It seems like there are two possible strategies to maximize the effectiveness of the US troops. 1) Bunch up the troops as tightly together as possible in order to minimize the cross-sectional perimeter that the zombies can attack from. 2) Send more assault troops in the beginning to take the flanking bridges asap. Having the units in the back is a waste of firepower because they were too far away to shoot at zombies. They should have been sent to the flanks with the assault team.
It would be cool to reenact the British square, no troopers shooting through each other. First line fires, reloads the kneeler’s fire and so on. Maybe have the cavalry charge through the Zombies taking off heads. Great video’s loads of fun! 👍
I think the main issue was that flank, needed some dedicated defenders protecting that bridge, maybe a couple Shermans. Would be nice to see the dead piles be the deciding factor
Maybe have some sniper positions to overlook the long distances and a back rank that storms forward after the line of contact is established. Also smaller outpost squads for time for space type defense
Been enjoying your videos! I had high hopes for your US army, until i saw the trolls. Overkill man. Maybe 500, but 2000?! Nah man. I was hoping you'd blocaded the other bridges but sadly. I'd like to see you try smaller groups at each bridge and see what happens. Defence shotgun/smg/sniper/tank combo... if thats even possible. 100 shotguns, 250 smg, 4 snipers 2 tanks at each bridge, againt 5million zombos? Could be a cool try. Hell, one chuck norris vs as many zombos as you can spawn. Id be interested to see how big the mountain grows. None the less i'm loving your videos bud. Keep it up.
6:09 Yes sir, we DID have one lone shotgunner decide to rush the zombie line. Well, that's Sergeant Moronski, sir. We're all kind of worried about him.
Next time try this, Germans on the shoreline, Shotgunners defending the bridges, Assault troops set on the attack, and then three units of Shermans/catapults at each bridge for fire support/artillery, and one free fire unit. Also, strengthen the flanking lines.
Idea? The box in a box(or pentagon) formation with melee units on the inside who assault zombies only when the outside missile units become overwhelmed.
I would love to see this exact battle again, but with the addition of smaller defence and attack forces spread out alongside the river. So the exact set up as you have now, but add multiple defence and attack groups spread out along the river on bridges and chokepoints. I would also sprinkle in some tanks or other hardware in with these smaller groups.
16:37 you can see that the zombie bodies pilled up so much they made a bridge with there corpses 18:44 you cant even tell theirs a bridge there anymore
this game is insane, how you can run so many dead corps and give them all a physic and not even lag, when the game support millions of units and bullets at the same time.
The left flank was losing to trolls at first, but as they drove deeper the full mass of soliders were able to fire on them. I feel like one sherman per bridge could have increased kill count
Given that the US has range weapons, all they need to do is slowly retreat as zombies approach? The tanks provide covering fire. And target the trolls. Send the frontline as far forward as possible to meet the zombies. (I’d also blow the bridges, but that makes it less interesting. Or you use them as choke points, ignoring the zombies on the shoreline until they begin to walk on water.)
To keep the zombies from building the body bridges you might try loading up with long range hitters like tanks and catapults. Hold them at the bridge, but kill them in the rear.
you should do zombies against the entire DOD. Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force and yes, Coast Guard. Including the entire U.S. arsenal minus nukes. I think that would be very interesting
Hey brother love your content it would be amazing if you can leave the camera at the more strategic parts of the battle. I feel like Im missing pivotal moments. Thanks bro keep up the good work.
i think the main problem wasn't the trolls it was the aiming system. in the first game i usually notice the soldiers would break off from firing far targets and all shoot at the closest target once it got near. but in this it looks like they don't target the closest one but keep attacking the one they originally fired at. which of course allows the other zombies to run up to them
Hey Daley can you please do a huge superfortess site with the 501st 332 212 and some mandolins against a bunch of battle droids and darth maul mandolins
I have a recommendation! What about a few hero units defending the town vs. every other battle unit? BTW I really love these videos! Thank you for taking the time to make these!
they should've added an artillery unit. maybe 3 155mm tow behind guns and maybe 5-10 60mm m2 mortars which were used in ww2. I feel with the artillery this battle may have ended differently. The biggest x factor here was the two bridges in the north. I think it was a bit of an oversight in design due to the zombie made bridges opening up on the main front.
the us probably could of won if it weren't for the trolls. It would be cool to see a similar set up but with medieval units charging the bridges and a smaller individual force to guard each bridge
Spoiler alert!!!! 😡🤪
exactly what i was thinking
The moving shotgun should be on guard mode
The trolls carried the zombies to victory, without them the US still would have lost due to the shear number of zombies, but it would have been way closer of a battle.
Most likely not. The bodypiles at the main bridge would have let more and more zombies connect over time.
Having a part of the defending army on attack mode was super fun. It keeps the fight way more dynamic. And also having the trolls as some kind of hero-zombie was very nice. It gives some personality to the faceless swarm.

@@xenotypos In general I agree with you. But in this case i feel like the offensive units holding the second bridge was very important.
@@xenotypos I generally agree with u my guy
You didn’t account for a lot sleep deprivation starvation zombies don’t have those issues

The shot gunners are useless in ranged vs ranged battles in most battles they just get cut down immediately
What about 1 free roaming super tank
That would make the entire WW2 faction untouchable which would render them unusable in battles. The shotgun and kar98 do need a damage buff, and thompson could have a slightly better RoF and dmg.

Trolls are horribly unbalanced. 2,000 can turn the tide of a battle the US would have otherwise won.

Maybe have some sniper positions to overlook the long distances and a back rank that storms forward after the line of contact is established. Also smaller outpost squads for time for space type defense
How about a before and after pic of certain spots on the map? Those body piles are insane
A good idea I'd like to see is the us and Germans working together and they try to defend a town against the Spartans and Persian and or trolls
I think it would be awesome if the river would eventually turn red from all the bodies falling into it. I have no idea why this is so entertaining!
Been enjoying your videos! I had high hopes for your US army, until i saw the trolls. Overkill man. Maybe 500, but 2000?! Nah man. I was hoping you'd blocaded the other bridges but sadly.
I'd like to see you try smaller groups at each bridge and see what happens. Defence shotgun/smg/sniper/tank combo... if thats even possible. 100 shotguns, 250 smg, 4 snipers 2 tanks at each bridge, againt 5million zombos? Could be a cool try.
Hell, one chuck norris vs as many zombos as you can spawn. Id be interested to see how big the mountain grows.
None the less i'm loving your videos bud. Keep it up.
6:09 Yes sir, we DID have one lone shotgunner decide to rush the zombie line. Well, that's Sergeant Moronski, sir. We're all kind of worried about him.
Yeah if you did Juno beach on the other vid, I don't think there was an option for Brits sipping tea after landing. 🤔
Could you do a battle of Troy type battle with the castle map that you had attacked by romans?
This one was a good one, I liked the trolls, it gives the zombies a strategic possibility.
Maybe less zombies, there where too many left at the end!
These are the best vids
Trolls are crazy OP against melee units but weak against ranged, even archers
Next time try this, Germans on the shoreline, Shotgunners defending the bridges, Assault troops set on the attack, and then three units of Shermans/catapults at each bridge for fire support/artillery, and one free fire unit. Also, strengthen the flanking lines.
Idea? The box in a box(or pentagon) formation with melee units on the inside who assault zombies only when the outside missile units become overwhelmed.
I would love to see this exact battle again, but with the addition of smaller defence and attack forces spread out alongside the river. So the exact set up as you have now, but add multiple defence and attack groups spread out along the river on bridges and chokepoints. I would also sprinkle in some tanks or other hardware in with these smaller groups.
16:37 you can see that the zombie bodies pilled up so much they made a bridge with there corpses 18:44 you cant even tell theirs a bridge there anymore
this game is insane, how you can run so many dead corps and give them all a physic and not even lag, when the game support millions of units and bullets at the same time.
The left flank was losing to trolls at first, but as they drove deeper the full mass of soliders were able to fire on them. I feel like one sherman per bridge could have increased kill count
Multiple team free for all with multiple bridges might be fun to watch if not done already. or teams of multiple factions assaulting different bridges
Given that the US has range weapons, all they need to do is slowly retreat as zombies approach? The tanks provide covering fire. And target the trolls.
Send the frontline as far forward as possible to meet the zombies.
(I’d also blow the bridges, but that makes it less interesting. Or you use them as choke points, ignoring the zombies on the shoreline until they begin to walk on water.)
Daley just want to say I’m a huge fan, I’ve been subscribed since 2019
Maybe you should do smaller army bc its obvious from the start that 5 millions is too much. The biggest army is almost always winning
I enjoy the Shear force of firepower. That bridge was basically a meat grinder.
To keep the zombies from building the body bridges you might try loading up with long range hitters like tanks and catapults. Hold them at the bridge, but kill them in the rear.
I thought from the beginning that the US totally didnt have this. And when you said Trolls, I was almost pissed haha.
you should do zombies against the entire DOD. Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force and yes, Coast Guard. Including the entire U.S. arsenal minus nukes. I think that would be very interesting
Hey brother love your content it would be amazing if you can leave the camera at the more strategic parts of the battle. I feel like Im missing pivotal moments. Thanks bro keep up the good work.
Good video only critique would have been nice to have some of the timelapses over where the zombies where actually going to attack the US :)
Thank you dude you cheered me up after this video I calmed down I was pretty mad
i think the main problem wasn't the trolls it was the aiming system. in the first game i usually notice the soldiers would break off from firing far targets and all shoot at the closest target once it got near. but in this it looks like they don't target the closest one but keep attacking the one they originally fired at. which of course allows the other zombies to run up to them
Hey Daley can you please do a huge superfortess site with the 501st 332 212 and some mandolins against a bunch of battle droids and darth maul mandolins
I have a recommendation! What about a few hero units defending the town vs. every other battle unit? BTW I really love these videos! Thank you for taking the time to make these!
man i cant wait to see something like this with clone troopers
Thought they had a chance at least. Oo, maybe have a group of soldiers and some tanks defending the castle map from zombies and trolls?
Daley could you do for men of war commander wolffe attacks a nearby town with resistance fighters against a group of pirates raiding the town
i love how so many zombies died they created a bridge of bodies
I would love more trolls. They’re entertaining. Mixed in with zombies is nice too
Did anyone notice that it was 50 million and not 5 million
love your vids :)
they should've added an artillery unit. maybe 3 155mm tow behind guns and maybe 5-10 60mm m2 mortars which were used in ww2. I feel with the artillery this battle may have ended differently. The biggest x factor here was the two bridges in the north. I think it was a bit of an oversight in design due to the zombie made bridges opening up on the main front.
You can always recommend other videos in your infocart, Daley. Makes it easy for people to watch.
Idea: 5000 of every mortal human unit (Including human-built units, so shermans and catapults count) vs 1 million zombies in a town.
Wait, does that mean there are 5k Shermans, or less? 5k Shermans will completely destroy the zombies with no contest.
@@inquisitorialcandidate-1237 Yeah… maybe 1000 shermans.
love to see if you can hold Olympus stronghold defence with snipers, shermans and mixed soldiers against 1m trolls they are my fav wave defences
