Syracuse played so odd but incredibly effective in forcing the attackers to abandon attacking multiple angles. And with far less troops he held the attackers back.
He did pro move.He made em abandon siege towers, amassed their forces on just one side of walls and used wall towers to pepper em.If other players from defenders joined him they could've won way sooner.Many players just let attackers breach and fight in city streets instead commiting troops at walls.Thumbs up for this guy way of thinking.
I don't care if it's a siege battle or a pitch battle, if it's 20 minutes long or an hour long, if it's very close or if a team wins by a huge margin, as long as it's Rome 2
Somewhere in Asia there was a martial artist who allegedly defeated forty thugs with the help of an assistant. The truth was both men retreated in a narrow alley where only two-three thugs could go at once. The two martial artists earned enough time for the cops to arrive, and the remaining thugs fled the scene. Source: quora. IP man and other films are cool but in reality a one vs many fight is only won by making sure you fight as little people at the same time as possible, and that's until help arrives or you can run to safety.
Responding to your question at 16:07, so I haven’t seen how this all goes. The sally forth might have been a good idea for two reasons 1) slows and confuses the assault, forcing the attackers into restricted avenues of attack and perhaps running out the clock 2) allows for a lot of time fighting beneath the wall where fire from wall top archers, artillery, and towers could be granted the time to rack up enough kills to turn the tide of the battle.

love this, a good infantry sally well handled can paralyze attacking armies just as well as a cav sally, sometimes even better. it takes the attackers off balance and gets them thinking in a defensive mindset, and if they dont snap out of it that'll cost them the battle
I finally have one of my battles being reviewed absolutely stoked I was the selucid player (wilkie.96) cheers for the review u missed my amazing push down the right but I'll let u off happy gaming all
There is an advantage in numbers. I know it was the elite troops that pulled it out in the end, but bringing all those cheap units let the defenders be very aggressive. If that aggression had ever lead to successful attacks on the archers, they'd have won pretty easily, from how I saw the archers change momentum repeatedly. Plus aggressive defense is just more fun to watch.
That defensive win. It looked like the attackers was going to take the win for a moment but the defenders pulled off a great last minute stand. That sally out on the flanks was meant to pincer the attackers the focus the center walls giving the defenders a fighting chance on the flanks. As the end game message reads *The best way to avoid being flanked is to stop the enemy flanking force from arriving.*
For me, it was really the most interesting battle in your Channel. Some nasty strats in the start, great fight in the middle ant the finał result that couldnt be certain to the last second. Really great!
Hey man, great videos. Been watching the channel a while now and been playing total war on and off since shogun. I like how I can still make my game better and learn stuff watching your videos. Keep it up bro
The moment Boii attacked Syracuse, Arverni should have attacked on the other side, the Syracuse player would have not been able to manage troops on two opposite side of the city
Units on walls tend to get shredded by concentrated archer fire. Even if the archers are grounded and outside the city. That’s why you need throw away units holding wall. Lure attacker in, then pepper them when they start overtaking the throw away units defending the wall.
I just love when you are doing these battles and just commenting. Lolol. You Won. Save them. Back to the Cuty. Tara Yada. Lolol. Brilliant. And, WE know it is from your heart.
I think that aggressive play from Syracuse at the start put the attackers on the back foot from the start and they spent the rest of the game trying to cease back the initiative, but just couldn't wrestle it from the defenders
At this point without even finishing the video I don’t care who wins. This battle has been non stop action with units moving left and right it is EPIC.
I think the sally out helped his team out in the end. He was able to get decent kills and with the attackers waiting so long he was able to buy his team quiet a bit of time.
If I had to guess. The defending force probably pushed out to hopefully push the attackers tighter together on the corner so the could hold less choke points.
“And then what you could do is you could kind of have archers at this angle (like kind of pew pew pew pew) like firing into their flank” ~Pixellated Apollo (November, 2020)
In regards to the slingers on the wall. When they're able to hit units in the sides or back, they will get a ton of kills, and I think this is what the defenders were going for.
The first engagement of the sally out went great imo the second went terrible though the second engagement field placement kept the attackers from engaging that entire side of the wall so they wasnt to terrible
@28:00 I'm surprised that statue, like real ones, had his umm twig and figs hanging out in the open. I say this because the naked warrior units have a loin cloth on, but that statue is full on nudity. I guess it being art makes it ok compared to an actual living person with the naked warriors. This is not important in any way at all to anything, I just found it surprising that they would have that in the game.
Defenders killed 6480, while attackers lost 7413. I think Gorms strategy kind of worked because a lot of those 933 kills were probably from towers from beginning.
I’m installing total war rome 2 as we speak and I am so excited I wanted it for so long but I don’t know how complicated it’s going to be can someone tell me if it’s simpler than I think please
Absolute genius move sallying out like he did if you know what your doing, also historically accurate it happened very often in ancient greece as a sign of courage rather thsn hiding behind walls
Syracuse plays realy smart because hold attacker charge in, from multiple angel and force atacker charge only from one side. And cost Syracuse lose at early game 👍👍 GG gorm miolneer👏👏
I don't think he was trying to ambush with those units in the forest courtyard. It does have a use hiding them however and was a good idea. Any time you can keep units hidden, it keeps the enemy player from knowing how much you habe left, as well as where those units are. Its a great way to confuse players and keep them on their toes. If they didn't notice those units you could flank with them later.
@@woodys9841 it's used for statements that don't need it. like he circles a unit we already see and draws pointless arrows to show what we already see. i don't think he needs to stop. it's just a bit silly that's all.
@@starwars910 let me ask you a question. Do you have 800k sub, if not then you dont tell him what to do Also those are in there so when you talk to your friend you could cicle a unit to highlight them and draw a plan to visuallize it, okay?
Syracuse definitely benefited from the sally out and took out half of two different armies and still had some men left. This weakened the over all morale so I think it was worth it

Pretty brilliant defense tbh. Funneled the attackers into a small section of one side of the wall and limited their options.

Hi I’m a long time fan have a great day 😀😀😀
I think Syracuse was trying to protect the walls so that the attackers can’t take the walls down and kill his unites
would be a long-shot but, do they have a game similar to this but modern times? with machine gun units and tanks, etc?
Question how can you make the units keep their javelins in the hands and not throwing them ?? I never understood the skirmish mechanic :))
Guys can I ask some thing
So how to make siege tower I really wanna know how to make siege tower pls answer.
In which game?
In real life?
@@unknowguy9642 quite possibly
I also like to sally forward and fight under the walls, I definitely prefer to have the initiative even in defensive battles.
