i love when my magic spears decelerate a charging horse to 0 instantly

wat gaem

horses consume 18000 calories a day
head on charges are actually impossible
there was no army that benefited from having horses

Why don't they just turn around when they see spears

his soul carries all momentum away

wrong and for several reasons
1. back then armys lost only a very small number of soldiers during a battle. 3%, maybe 5%, 10% was a complete rout. as weapons were primitive and it was a huge push-and-shove mostly
however as soon as one side loses, or thinks they are losing, they have to retreat
that is where cavalry comes in, harassing and killing enemy soldiers and taking their supplies during a retreat
it was not uncommon for an army to only lose 5% of its soldiers in battle, but only 20-30% of the army returns home as the remainder died during retreat

2. reconaissance, without satellites, drones, etc. information was extremely poor and cavalry was very good at scouting

3. depending on the type of cavalry they even serve battle purposes, flanking the enemy or shoring up your own positions

napoleon lost in the end because he wasted all of his cavalry in russia and while he was able to recruit new infantry there is no way to just make new cavalry fast

>Theodens charge on Gothmogs army during the siege of Minas Tirith (Colorized)

Overhaul mods when?

Any total war game that is not Total War Attila.

Based illiterate

>what are horse archers on top of steppe ponies that live off the land

Rust

Parthian shots were a good strategy but the result of the battle was more of Crassus incompetence as a military general than anything else though.

Is Bannerlord good yet? I bought and played it on release and it was just worse Warband.

NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST BUILD AN ARMY COMPOSED ONLY OF HORSE ARCHERS AND WIN!

Gothmog is a Sindarin name so I'm still assblasted that the movies made him an orc.

I thought Gothmog was a human.

>no army that benefited from having horses
you might actually be the biggest retard of all time

They've fixed most of the performance issues and memory leaks in the lastest patch. It runs great, but now we're waiting for modding tools and more content like BOATS

lotr bfme 2

So they've only fixed the performance and added nothing of any value? That's not how you develop a game.

In real life this never happened.
Horses will refuse to charge towards spears.

pretty much every total war game
Lindybeige stop fucking posting on Zig Forums

It happened but extremely rarely, horses aren't totally fucking dumb yeah. As a matter of fact elite austrian (or was it Prussian? One of them fucking krauts) cavalry trained and was able to charge pike formations successfully but we're talking like renaissance era tactics when the niggas had guns strapped to their chests

>Horses will refuse to charge towards spears.
Only modern soi-horses who are only trained to be riding horses instad of warhorses

Rome:Total war

How do they not hit their own guys

cav is way too OP in warband of course because t*rks can't fathom anything other than their steppeniggering ways to be good

horses never react to hits and are way too durable
you can wield 2 handed melee weapons on horseback like its nothing
and you can store 2 handed weapons on horseback like its nothing

>cav is way too OP in warband
Just like in real life.

There's still no HEAVY heavy armour in the game isn't there?

>18000 cals a day
Imagine how much grass that is

>there was no army that benefited from having horses
The Wehrmacht disagrees.

They trained hard

the heaviest armor is basically a coat of plates and there is some lamellar variants

not that it does anything pitchforks still btfo you and javelins are like nuclear missiles

Name one (1) thing that he did wrong. Sending off Publius to break off the horse archer harrassement was done in desperation.
What really sealed their fate was the remarkable supply lines the Parthian general set up to never run out of arrows. Limitied ammunition has always been the hard counter to horse archers: weather what you can with you big ass shield until the enemy runs out of projectiles and then just walk up to him or disperse their army. In this particular case, it literally did not stop raining arrows. Then there were things like the local climate, etc.

>Name one (1) thing that he did wrong.
Marching out into the middle of sand people territory to placate his inferiority complex
Trusting a local guide who hated him
Leading his men into an ambush in the middle of the fucking desert
Standing by giving no orders while people got picked off one my one
Being a fucking rich old man miser playing at being a soldier because he was eternally mad Pompei stole his glory in putting down the slave revolts

Well, to be fair, Pompei was a bit of a dick with the whole Spartacus thing.

Oh sure, Pompei was a huge credit stealing dick no doubt. Probably the only good things that can be said about the meat-head is he was a genuinely talented officer and he loved his wife.

But at the end of the day Crassus got a lot of Roman soldiers killed because he wanted his stupid Triumph
