Thank you to all Patrons who support this channel.
Chavs were a notorious menace in ancient Greece.
Pretty bad in the north east of England as well.
@@vladdrakul7851 ey m8, 'ow could I be raciss if I been on 'oliday in spain?
@@Ian-yf7uf Jimmy was so romantic that holiday he was. Took me out all proppa to a MickyD near the shore. He even wore his fancy shorts.
Im old enough to remember when chavs were trendies. Dressed up in their rebook classics and their Burberry lol. Used to beat the shit out of me because i had long hair. Anyone else remember those days?
I'm glad you're making this video for a "new to total war audience", I hope it helps getting people to the series :)
They had 1mil downloads in an hour apparently so yep! Lots of new faces it would seem.
@@Zerkovich Here I am. Isn't this the new title game: Total War: Noob :-0
Yes! This Free 24 hour thing is really good to bring in new players to the total war genre! :D
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo a
And Alexander wept, for there were no more chavs left to conquer
Alexander was king of the chavs
the return of the chavalry, this time on chariots
The chavs found the keys to mum's chariot
Don't forget to turn off fire-at-will with those javelins until you're ready to reveal yourself. Don't want them to fire prematurely.
"Just spam chariots, lmao" - Odysseus on his grand strategy
how can i draw those green and red lines?
@@mishashagidze2452 bottom right there are 3 colored buttons and then you just drag on the map
Pretty sure I read that in high school lit class.
This is my first ever Total War game, thank you so much for making this video.
Enjoy the game! Total War is one of the best series.
Wil there be a roster guide for each of the Total war troy factions? They helped a lot for total war warhammer for understanding the factions and units!
Possibly!
My battles never go that smoothly lmao, after the first two minutes its utter shambles and i get ruined all the time. Hoping this guide will help😂
Check out the movement guide as well. The alt + left mouse drag changed eveything for me as well as using locked group to send your frontline together towards enemies front line
Lol Achilles at 10:34 ... totally thought he had like antlers.. "oh that's cool... wait a tree is behind him"
Total war Troy is free for 24 hours only today August 13 on Epic Games.
Thank you kind sir
I wouldn’t get it from Epic even if they paid me.
@@johnrelax3563 I'm sure somebody somewhere cares
@@johnrelax3563 I'm assuming that's because of some dislike of Fortnite or something? Apparently the company themselves are really decent though, and do a lot to help disadvantaged people.
@@johnrelax3563 Who cares?
not the chavs!
Ah, thanks a lot! I just picked up the game and it's my first total war title, so I felt a bit ovverwhelmed. This helped me a lot understanding the mechanics.
You be welcome lad!
I wish multiplayer was already released so i could play a Coop campaign to help you
@@MarcelSoares777 Can you play COOP campaign?
@@MILMrIceluver In other TW games you can. In this one multiplayer will come around November.
I play these games casually jumping in when a new one comes along and having vids like this to refresh the knowledge of the games helps to not put me off when I jump back in. Many thanks sir
Glad to see the AI is still as dumb as it was 20 years ago /s.
Rubz no it’s not, try veteran
@@JayJay-gz4li The AI just gets cheats on higher difficulties in Total War games. Has always been this way.
@@rubz1390 Ye on higher dificulty ai just smashes their units into mine with no strategic mind but my units break like nothing anyways before i could send my aegean runners to flank around.
Welp as total war player , the ai has been improved but more or less simillar to previous total war the ai now can anticipate flank
I'm an experienced (though not particularly good) TW player, and thoroughly enjoy your vids, partly for the humour, and partly as I still pick up new things from them. I couldn't concentrate for the second 5 mins of this. as was laughing so much about the chavs slip that then got stuck in your head - love it!
Mr
Zerkovich, having spent 5 hours playing saga, I can completely agree with one of your previous videos that saga, is plain and very one dimensional. Lovely graphics on the campaign map but that is all it has going for it. I am already bored and returning to a combination of Warhammer and Empire. Love your videos, your efforts are very appreciated.
While I agree with you for the most part. Empire is probably the most boring total war man. I’d much rather play thrones than empire. Troy has potential though
im not even new to total war but i dont mind hearing you explaining the basics.
is that good feedback? : )
dude watching your videos are making me a much better player love you my dude.
CA: A company that created the terrifying and amazing AI of the Alien in Alien: Isolation
Also CA: A company that created the artificial... intelligence(?) of Total War
I think it's more of a case that TW AI is limited by the engine which is still essentially the same one from the older games just updated so there's legacy issues that cause the silly AI, then CA being unable to create a decent AI for TW games due to lack of skill.
I love the music, so calming and relaxing whilst playing! Thanks for the video mate, what's next on the list?
nice timing, I just started downloading
This is a fantastic refresher even for veteran TW fans. Cheers!
Nice! I learned so much already. Been playing for a couple hours and was only using what I knew from other TW games but guess lots are different in this game.
Why did it take me so long to find this vid? It has everything I needed too. Liked the vid.
Yo mate thanks for the vid, totally forgot this game came out today.
Was just in time for the free snatch.
@BIG HEAD gotta grab it while it's still hot ( free )
17:42 love the face of the right archer at the corner XD.
Archer-trickster type lords are insanely op
this game feels like playing warhammer with just empire spearman
Upgrade your army? Dumb dumb
I find it hilarious the Spartan king has a bunch of ax units unique to him.
I just bought this game on steam yesterday and this video really helped!!! Thanks!
20:45 Where the AI's theme song officially became 'Yakety Sax'
12:42 how do you rotate the army like that?
Team PB hold Alt and Control and move your mouse
I am actually really pleasantly surprised by Troy!
How did u make that red lines to order attack ? Those red blue lines ....
Damn you're quick. Not complaining though. Hope we'll be seeing faction guides like you did with Warhammer. Cheers!
Great video, Zerkovich. I've learned quite a bit.
I wish you had covered single entity or grouped tanky myth units like the cyclops, minotaur or giants and how to use them or deal with them if your enemy has them.
Thanks for the tutorial.This helps me not to auto resolve all the time.BTW can we get a tutorial for sieges aswell TY
Very possibly!
Still making boss videos I see. Your content is among the best!
It's worth noting that for Sparta; if you're playing the campaign, they have a faction ability called 'Call to Arms' which acts as a global recruitment feature similar to other Total War games. This mechanic also gives Sparta the ability to recruit troops not native to their faction so long as they are allied to a faction which has access to those troops. For example (as mentioned in the video) Sparta doesn't have access to good (or any?) javelin throwing units but are able to get them so long as they are allied to another faction who can recruit them. If you're new to a Total War game or just Troy and want an easier start/game, then I'd suggest playing a Menelaus (Sparta) campaign to get you used to it before trying harder factions.
Thank you for this because I haven't played a total war game in six years at the last game I played was total war medieval
Thanks for the video.. so much changed since I played Rome Total War 1, I could not even distinguish the units, it was a disaster ahaah
I am an old man and I miss the old way total war games played. I like heroes and new stuff but always have to mod the game to make it less arcade. This game screams arcade.
It's not like people played the old TW games without mods though. Medieval 2 is also unplayable without mods.
@@shadearca thats true.
@@shadearca gonna have to disagree with you there I've played med 2 and every campaign got like 500 hrs on med and I've never used a mod
Oi! Mate! You got a liscense for that front line??
Can't wait to jump into multiplayer with all this new knowledge... oh wait
It will be out in three months, apparently.
@@bubbasbigblast8563 enough time to learn the game
Tried it. So... back to Warhammer now.
It's not that bad just need some rebalancing
Rome 2>
It's not as good
@@duross101 I know the UI isnt everything but I legit love the UI overall
@@denisnatera3633 for me what made me go straight back to warhammer was the trees not fucking off so I can see all my troops. If I want to look at trees I'll go outside lol
How can I get the brush you are using on the battlefield?
Lots of chavs... I sprayed my drink everywhere 🤣 thanks Zerk
Still one of my Favorite Games of all Time 😍 i have so much Love for that Time Period and maybe it's not the Best Total war Game, but it's the best Troy Game and i love it soo much for that 😁🙌
Rome 2 its battle mechanics looked and felt better,, ever since they started using that new engine everything feels dumbed down
This game performance and mechanic is way better , i played rome at least 600 hours so i know what im talking about, better blob , better hiding mechanic , better map , better everything except variety
@@euricoaw1535 game performance increased tremendous ever since warhammer but the old engine just felt more alive and cinematic imo.
Medium units are best at covering flanks or in reserve. Light units fight around the formations. Or in reserve.
A couple of questions for you, Zerk. How much space do units need to charge, and once you route a unit, how do you decide if to continue chasing or disengage?
Not necesarily a lot to charge. If you see them sprinting towards the enemy, they've probably entered charging.
Chasing down units is situational. You'll do extra damage chasing a fleeing unit, so generally a good idea to chase down stronger units, or units with ammo. And of course make sure your unit is faster than the unit you're chasing. Using a heavy unit to chase a light unit is just going to get your heavy unit out of position.
@@Zerkovich thank you very much!!
How won every battle :
1) Buy Chariot
2) Use them
3) Free win
Imagine the chav units. WKD Blue bottle throwing units for missile troops. Heavy troops wearing Burberry armour. Vauxhall Nova's as the cavalry.
Some streamers need to watch your video
I have spent 6 hours playing it. I don't know... It feels meh... Looks pretty but not awesome, combat is average and I think the game lacks personality like 3K or Warhammer. All units look and feel the same. Some faction mechanics look interesting tho.
Yeah I agree the game is well optimized and battle map looks good however it needs a good battle mod that makes the battle last longer!
David Cousineau eh I mean it depends on the battle but elites will take a long time to chew each other down and if ur morale holds normal units do too on the higher difficulty.
Great video. Lots of useful tips, so thanks for that! Just one question though please. How do you drag, move and rotate a selected unit, group or formation like you do at 11:10?
I have a video for such things! :D
ruclips.net/video/62WAQnh3dM8/видео.html
@@Zerkovich Just what I was looking for. A great help, thanks and subbed!
Just registered and downloaded!
May this be our modern Roman 2? Probably not but it's going to be a fun game
Hi so your prob not gonna be able to help me with this but if I play total war Troy I am always nervous for battle bcz of a fear of losing even though I know you can quick save so do you have any tips to increase my confidence for a battle
how to change the thickness of missiles
How do i get this drawing tool option that he is using on the video? Like in 5:53 for example to draw a green line?
Do the archers serve a purpose in this game? From what little I saw in the unit roster is seems that they have less range, ap damage, and fire rate, all while requiring more upkeep and advanced buildings
This whole period of military history is pretty "meh." Like a lot of folks, I've ever really been excited by the Aegean stuff outside of myth. Moreover, I've never been a huge fan of the new/old TW engine either. Sure, it looks prettier than MTWII, but the collision detection/charge still sucks. So, I won't be bothering with the game, and I suspect I am not alone. Nevertheless, once again a fantastic unit breakdown and strategic analysis. Your vids are always top quality.
@@NinoCristianini I do. :) What's wrong, somebody has something critical to say about a game you like so you get defensive about it? lol Sad. He's not wrong. The combat in this game is one of the worst in the series. Bottom tier.
I personally saw that surrounding the enemy makes for an easy victory if you have some chariots to hunt the routing units. Have athena and ares as gods and victory is easy with a bit of micromanaging. Speaking of veteran battle difficulty and early campaig to turn 50
Is there a way i can boost my mens morale like with a priestess or a building or something
I swear to the ruinous powers if they don't add "A giant F#@! You Dragon" as a weightclass when they release Warhammer 3 I'm gonna go all End Times on some poor fool with Vladdy Daddy
8:35 you deployed units in specific formation and then moved them all into the forest in the same formation. How you did that? Looks like a valuable hotkey. I didn't find one in Options.
Hold alt when dragging units and they will stay in there same exact formation
That army would cost an absolute fortune in resources tho. You either have 1 solid army like that, or 2/3 mediocre armies. 1 army isnt enough to defend a lot of land, so you have to go for the mediocre units. Ive played loads of total war games but am struggling to get to grips with this one for some reason. Something isnt clicking.
i feel like troy will be a hammer and anvil focused game
um can you name 1 total war game that isnt all about hammer and anvil?
@@WilderManize warhammer is about archers and archers and artillery and magic
@@CssHDmonster exept that the strongest units jsut happen to be cav units lmao
@@WilderManize the strongest units are single entity mosters literally everyone and their mom are trying to get them nerfed
@@WilderManize Empire/Napoleon and FotS are often more about hammer and bigger hammer than any anvil. Gunlines are fun.
My first battle i put light infantry on the front and tried to flank with heavy because they have charge bonus. Two units from frontline fleed but somehow I managed to win.
Where is the button to dismount heroes while in a battle?
My big takeaway from this is that you can probably fight the same battle 10 or 20 times, milking it for a different experience each time. Wow....... the replayability of this game boggles the mind. I'm only a day old newb trying to figure out how to get Agamemnon not to trip over his laces, but I already love it.
What that tool your useing on the left of the radar?
finally a game that rewards you for having 80% infantry, unlike other games where you could have like 60% archer spam.
i Start the dowload as well aha
How to have the palette of the 3 colors of green, blue and red as you have ?
Whoa clue me in on that sweet armor for Achilles, what is it? I assume the other lords get cool upgraded armor as well?
Heroes have quests or talents that give them access to weapons and armor upgrades.
@@shadearca are they visual? I'm like 50 turns into my Hector campaign and none of the ancillary items or skills seem to have visual effects :(
how are you able to draw while watching the replay?
Bonus against big units - is blocked by armor?
How do you select units and move them in their original posistion?
Insanely good speaker that just happens to play troy total war xD
Subscribed because of the chav joke
Note to self:
Make more Chav joke content.
ive never heard of total war before. i do not know the chronology of this series of games. looking at steam i saw many games. some like i think its warhammer has a lot of packets. any way how might you selection of the series of games here. which is the best game to start playing with. not ever playing this series i wonder how to start picking the different games. like diablo your first pack followed by others in the series.
How do you call ur allies or other heroes which u have buyed n gave thm a small army
I suspect chavs ave been with us since at least 38,000 BCE...
What does chav mean in British slang?
is a derogatory word for a young hooligan who wears designer clothes and starts fights, usually seen as lower class. LMFAO what!? lool
Designer clothes? xD
How do I get these painting tools?
i missed the free download :( Can u purchase this game now? On steam it says coming 2021 :(
Actually I'm winning battles left and right but I don't know why, just had my first defeat and now I want to know what the difference between the units actually is 😅
Great video. Does bonus vs large apply as straight damage like armor piercing or as normal damage that can be mitigated by armor?
More like a charge bonus. And increase to Melee Attack and Damage while fighting a large unit.
Dunno if Troy is the same as other titles, but it often works based on the units basic damage ratio. So if a unit does 5 AP and 15 normal weapon damage, it's basically 25% AP and 75% normal, so a +10 from charge would do an extra 2.5 AP and 7.5 normal.
Thanks for the video!!! Ive waiting since last night for download, just released
Sorry but how do you move your units together in the same formation?
I have an Army Movement vid for all this kinda jazz:
ruclips.net/video/62WAQnh3dM8/видео.html&lc=UgxGwoc9_JTbSYj00F94AaABAg
Better if you showcase each units strengths and weakness per faction.
How to you remove the tooltip when you cursor over a unit? Not the normal that you see when you cursor over. The one to the right explaining the floating icon over a unit.
I've looked online and tried all the ingame settings. No luck yet.
Hold down spacebar and you should get a list of things you can turn on or off. The one you are looking to turn off is called 'Banner Description'. There is also a hotkey for cinematic mode, which is 'K'. This removes all the ui from the screen so you can do things like watch battles. Also in that menu is an option to 'Hide Foilage', which makes it so you can see through things like trees.
@@LucidDream thanks
dont forget to learn the white lighning skill on your chavs.
I’m new to these total war games and I’m wondering will there be pvp sieges or is it just campaign? Or can anyone give me info about this game
They're releasing Multiplayer in November. So Sieges should be included there.
Zerkovich thanks for the heads up and for the video guide gained one new sub from me,looking forward to seeing some more content from you.😁
Just got it, I actually like it
i hate when you fight for ur settelment and you have 6 point to defened splitting the army :c
Zerkovich, my dude, I tried to enter your name as a creator to support when claiming this game, but couldn't find you.
Thanks man, appreciate it. But I didn't sign up. Rather not encourage people to buy from Epic haha. Get it while it's free!
@@Zerkovich I've heard lots of people talking this way about Epic, and feel like I missed some big news about them, what happened?
@@thesuperginge1348 People are paranoid that Epic will sell their personal data to the Chinese government basically.
thanks for guide...
