    That elephant charge seemed premature. Still, Hotel Soap did a good job of actually making pikemen useful in a multiplayer battle. The Roman player should have tried to outflank the pikemen more. Also, if Rome had brought some skirmishers themselves, that could have helped them, as long as the Roman player could protect those skirmishers. Interesting battle. Thanks to Heir for sharing it and thanks to the two players for playing it.

      My thoughts too, very bold move. Though it has the flaw of the enemy turning off fire at will on most of your units. Having a few velites would be nice to deal with elephants and the skirmish cavalry.

    I thought this was over as soon as the elephants were yoloed, the Rome player miss played so hard by just charging head long in they could have spread the ranks really wide as the Baktria lacked the infantry to match and the Rome player would have easier collapsed on the flanks.

    Two things, one the Roman general was still alive by the end stats and two. Heir had a previous video showing a hopllite blitz thru a pike wall. Rome shoulve tried to column ormatio. Into those pikes with principes and uses hastati to surround. But obviously both noob players still. Which is okay we all start somewhere

    • @everfree4175
      @everfree4175 Год назад

      Historically, they would use a lot more elephants for a frontal assault, and often in tandem with some light infantry at least for support.
      That single unit of elephants with only archer support (and not a lot of that), would never stand a chance against any army that had range power. Still, he did good work keeping the calvary advantage and realizing that his archers can run circles around that roman army.

      ​@@mdstmouse7 they're far, far smaller with less viewership and participation than there used to be, back in the days of maximus and blade balance. Which is a shame given this game turned out to be pretty decent in the end after dedicated efforts to fix it. Playerbase is small enough that I don't feel like I can describe it as an esport anymore.
