Yeah just finished TW and it was godawful for me at least cause some of the fights were impossible to do anything and it kept freaking discord out on top of acting like it was gonna crash, especially during the last fight of the night.
Oh I've straight up quit the game as of today, thanks to it acting like it did, that was the last straw and last of my patience with the game cause lowering the graphics would've done absolutely nothing to help. I don't even do anything all that much anymore cause I don't play sieges due to getting teammates that would rather troll the team by bringing nothing but blues, greens and greys or a bunch of ranged that are of no help when pushing the point on attack or are too chicken to use their units to defend when on defense or would rather waste their time chasing kills which causes them to get killed, losing their units in the process and the rest of the team just gets run over by 50 million cav. Or they'd rather just have a staring contest with the enemy team while I try and push alone only to get dogpiled by the entire enemy team while the rest of the team just watches. I'm also getting burnt out on it even though I've only played for a little over a year, not mention nearly destroying my desk as well. Game was fun when I first started playing but then it just got worse and worse to the point a few months ago I got into an argument with my mom and even walked out of the house that next morning cause of how mad I was at her and irritated with the game giving me sorry excuses for teammates.
I was not happy with Varangians at the beggining, mostly due to lack of defensive stats, but my oh my, once you get use to this unit, it's skills and gameplay, they are becoming devastators on the battlefield. The amount of damage they deal is sick. They also tank quite well with Iron Sides doctrine, 5% DMG reduction doctrine and upper def tree. 1st skill with shields also give them 30% dmg reduction and they can heal every time they use skill with axes. This in combination with my long sword healing is working perfectly.
Aw yis. I hated them when they were released as well, they have evolved though and I think they are pretty balanced now. There will always be the ppl who feed them and complain though :)
Great video, forties are one of my fav units! Can't wait to lvl up to play in high rank/lvl lobbies (currently round lvl 215 and climbing) Also challenge idea, do only charge infantry (myrmilloes, prefecture pikes, palace guards etc.)
Charge bois eh? Sounds like a good one :) Fortes are just utterly nuts right now, the minimum range reduction alone was incredible, the rotation makes them god tier anticav!
You like forties now, should of been there in their glory days aka thier release day. Oh boy I tell you block formation anything step in there delete even without the stun doc. I'm still super salty over the nerf.
Oh i was there back then, they shredded, i stopped playing after 2 weeks tho since i didnt have anyone to play with. Came back then for the tyrany season (w the outriders), then i left again (same problem) and came back last season now (finally found some great ppl to play with 🙂)
yep that connection lost thingy only happen in this game for me, i've tried creating a support ticket about it and they said my internet suck ps: connection lost 5 times in a match and it count as 5 deaths, i call it bullshit
Hey I know this question is not related to the video whatsoever but it’s just been on my mind lately. I’ve seen a lot of ppl change iron reapers to middle path after the buff. So no more top line now? Thanks
Yeah I would agree with that move. Full bottom is not super either so mid/bottom mix feels to be right. Swords cannot keep up with other meta units anymore
New to the game here, I just started playing & I'm not sure how long each season goes for 1? And 2, if any one could help & answer is, after each season what is reset? I'm grinding season challaneges to get troops, but man all of these challenges/quests take a lot of grinding
12 weeks for seasons. Only seasonal progress, battlepass and runes are reset - you retain pretty much everything. Yeah the grind is real, but worth it :)
@@KnightStalker Thanks for the speedy response, I've been grinding this game like crazy. Seems boring at times, but I think that's because there's still lots to learn. Thanks again friend!!
Also I've been seeing lots of different maps in the videos I've been watching, yet I only have the same 4 or so maps for sieges everytime. Is that dependent on the region you're in? Like could I travel to a different region, start a match and get different maps or...? I'm still playing against AI if that makes any difference(I'm lvl 70ish). Thanks for any reply!
There are server clusters and each has a different map rotation. Not all maps are available at any given time. Also under level 100 you are not yet in open matchmaking and you will have a restricted map pool. Hope that helps :)
Finally had a good game with the imperial gunners got 111 kill lucky the enemy were not Daring to dive on them and a good team. Had them till the end the they were finally shot down so I had to take revenge and liao the archers down and their hero lol
If this was an European/ NA server no one would protect your guns. I have had shields back off randomly and let my set up jannissaries get rekt. The only time anyone will protect range units is in TW but there the only ranged is shenji and falconetti.
I have limited experience at this point but they seem to trade with varangians as long as you dont use the tight formation and get king hit by them. Shieldmaidens they seem to crush because of the cover commander tight ball - BUT - I am saying this off the back of like 5 games with the new format reapers so it's totally open to change. In general I think I would still prefer the V and SM but the reapers are fun again now
The tighter formation is also good for a Longsword as that allows said Longsword to heal all the models and not miss one or two of them that are likely in the red.
As much as I like your intro clip the new, Fortes just destroyed the Rock-paper-scissor balance because of their braindead foolproveness. It is IMPOSSIBLE to play any other cav besides Liaos, because Fortes kill them because of their 360 brace now. No skill involved, no map awareness just place fortes somewhere no matter the facing of their brace. I got charged in the back by some monastics because I didn't look at the map, but didn't matter auto-aim-fortes killed the Cav anyway. I felt super bad for the cav player... saw and seized the right opportunity but still lost. I also lost 2/3 of my fortes but still definitly not fair. Tactics+R-P-S-balance just got thrown ot of the window because the AI just handles everything on its own. A 135 degree brace would hav been enough to get rid of the fortes micro positioning or sliping by besides them. But the devs went totaly overkill
Can't help but wonder how much better and more epic the match would have been without those two little problems!
At this point CB being unstable/unbalanced/unoptimized is just a part of it

You're not the only one man I play the game on the lowest graphics I can't see trebs but it's what it is...

@@Animeman284 Play more ranked matches my man. It’s more fun there. :)
I still can't believe that the volley fire command is now an actual volley fire
Redcoat skin would be amazing :D
"It doesn't give a flying one of those"- KnightStalker 13 November 2022
Keepin' it clean ;)
The 4 cavs charged into longbowmen mindlessly is gold
The typical gold cav yeet n' pray :)
Fortes can rotate? QOL changes? Huh, CB changed so much after I took a break. Keep up the content KnightStalker!
They are BEAUTIFUL now! :)
Yeah i've noticed a lot more connection losses now and issues with the game launcher itself. Might be something to raise with the devs.
I'm hearing this a lot at the moment - yeah I'll raise a ticket
Kinda funny to hear that V guard is not a noskill unit when you just press the button and they delete ANYTHING
I mean, I demonstrated the timing needed - they aren't high skill cap but they aren't herp derp one button either!
@@KnightStalker I would say you need 1-2 games to catch the timing and you are done, its more about overall game understanding and not the unit
Put a charge doctrine on the fortes, you can instantly kill any hero that tries to CC them from behind with no warning at all
Ooooh! Nasty!
I like that sprint doctrine! Turns those gatling guns into Brownings!
I love the sound of BRRRRT in the morning :)
Friendly reminder to use Sprint while they're shooting ;)

Just wait till you get the new pike doctrine, these lads can shred anything after that (percentage of max hp gone, plus its a bleed), i wish i had it
You like forties now, should of been there in their glory days aka thier release day. Oh boy I tell you block formation anything step in there delete even without the stun doc. I'm still super salty over the nerf.
S3 they were instant melt everytging in their threat zone lol. I think I have some videos from back then!

8:31 Screem of Flying Stalwart
ahahahaha! I didnt notice that before :D
I think the Kriegs would have been better than the Imp Muskets on this map given the proximity of the supply to final cap.
Kriegs are great but they dont put out as muxh damage and dont break block
miss your videos, please more :)
Working on it! :)
so I died when you said Viagra guard, ITS THE PENIS PILL GUARD!!!
Its cos they are rock hard :)
KnightStalker THIS IS GREAT but I need help because I can't spend money on the game ...
Sure, pop into Discord and message me, I'll see if I can help
yep that connection lost thingy only happen in this game for me, i've tried creating a support ticket about it and they said my internet suck
ps: connection lost 5 times in a match and it count as 5 deaths, i call it bullshit
5 in a match would make me rage quit lol - you're stronger than me!
this game needs overtime. jumping around trying to survive in a sea of enemies is hardly a sign of victory.

@@KnightStalker Thanks for the reply. Gosh and I was going full top before as well...
@@KnightStalker Oh one more question if u don’t mind. How do u earn more “Secret Training Missive”, the ones used to reset unit veterancy points.
They tend to come from events and battlepass for me. Easiest way is to pay 50 sovereigns which is something like $0.45c

Might be a good video topic to help newer players understand the game... Cuz it's quite confusing

Just wonndering imperial's out damage Tercio's?
In raw DPS, yes they do
Amazing 🤩👍🙂😁😀
NO YOU ARE
No you 🤗

Noice :D 111 is amazing

Oh that happens for sure, sometimes though you meet beautiful people who understand the assignment! :)
I come here to hear the way you say dps
Deepeeess
I can't use vgs at all
Not my fav unit :/
Whats the ir buff?
Its mostly to their flails, from what I'm understanding from some alliance members and some of my housemates, flails are better than swords now.
^^ tight formation, double hit with flails, and a murder charge
@@KnightStalker So their flail is better now and thier charge is good? Are they worth using over varangians or shiedlmaidens?
