Prince of Macedon
A popular (on youtube) RTW player, and was the host of many popular RTW online tournaments. Under the patronage of Hader.
Prince of Macedon
Prince of Macedon often plays as Macedon at low money games this keeps the game fair and archers are still effektive unlike high money games.
His troops selection:
Royal pikemen:a hoplite unit that has the same number of troops as falangites 240 men. Royal pikemen are better protected than Silver shields or Bronze shields and Pharaos Guard. A very soldid anvil.
Companion cavalry: Elite horsemen with good armour and a very good charge. These men exell at flank and rear attacks!
with proper flanking companions and not all cav unit selected at 1 enemy unit head on these men can kill anything.
Archers:very cheap they may lack the punch of cretans but they leave more rom for upgrades after all it is the melee that decides the battle.
Great distraction that keeps enemy archers busy while attacking with melee troops.
Attack is best defence
You can see that Prince of Macedon is an aggressive player and this has several advantages:
He can force you to respond to him and not the other way around.
He can attack when he is ready.
The enemy player is more likely to isolate his own cavalry making it easier for Prince of Macedons companions to crash in the enemy cavalry from all sides making them rout and massacre the enemy cav.
Counter messure
How do you counter this exellent tactic?
Maybe you should have more upgrades on your own cavalry and keeping them close to your infantry I suggest attack and experience upgrades.
While only upgrading gold defence for the infantry.
But it really depends on what factions to bring every faction in rome total war has diffrent strengths.
Dont have the infantry units deployed side by side sence that benifits fhalanx units not cohorts.
Launch your own offenssive and if your roman trow pila and then fomr testudo in guard mode and then march rigt tru those spears.
Then the swordfigting skills of the roman infantry can be desisive as long as the cohorts isnt deployed side by side!.
The cav figt is most important use some cohort support and dont forget to micro manage your cav.
