in rome 2 best infantry units for frontline are phalanx or shieldwall formation units, best for flanking are shock infantry , best overall melee units are with javelins like thureos, karian axes, celtis warriors, hastati etc, spearmen without javelins or formations are worst infantry in game as shock cav will delete them like peasants Elephants and chariots can be stopped by any unit with phalanx or shieldwall units, if you have javelin inf behind shieldwall, they will delete elephants and chariots like flies against flamethrower fun fact, units in diciplined formation will perform worse than units with no diciplined formation, you can test this easily by using hoplites, one in diciplined formation will always loose, because non dicipline units will slowly flank the others and cause more dmg missle units = archers best in settlements, slingers best against cavalry, javelin/peltast units are usually useless if you can recruit thureos units
This is some pretty good advice!! I have never knew about the fun fact, I usually just like the disciplined ones just to have them catch cavalry or flanking units until I can get another unit to flank from behind!!
it is called "formation attack" , you want to turn it off on your sword and hoplite units pretty much always at the start of any online land batte. never put your swords in shield wall formation , it is useless and they get surrounded also . always put your hoplites in hoplite phalanx when they are in a prolonged melee .
@@darkglobe406 shieldwall formation is pretty good in online siege, your units will deal less dmg but they can hold ground far longer and against stronger enemies, which is specially important if you are defending a tower or a key street, also it blocks frontal charge of chariots and elephants
@@karl5175 im speaking of land battles not sieges ... sieges were considered dull back in the day . i see now they are popular , but OGs don´t play them too much . for siege you indeed need to use different tactics and also different army compositions , position your archers so that they shoot only at the non shielded side of your enemies troops etc. but sieges are boring and too long . also fast micro is pretty much not needed and that is the core skill of the best players . in land battles you can be great at tactics and army compositions but if your micro is slow or not on point you will lose ...
