I second that notion

I started watching pixie nearly a decade ago solely for tw ...I stopped watching for a while when he stopped doing that much tw stuff

Map name ??

Anyone know map name???

Gotta branch out though or he'll become stagnant. Apollo's got it down.

He my last fight of the group stage. GO URSAS!

Its Arevaci, but yeah noble fighters are a heavy hitting unit. Here's the thing when you are playing a 2v2 competitive match on large funds - you rarely have enough to spend on 2 elites(one being your general) and still have more than 18 slots filled in your army. With arevaci it becomes a choice: do you want to have a second elite unit that really doesnt have enough armor compared to the other elites, or do you wanna spend the funds on another mid tier sword unit and a better ranged unit instead. Noble fighters cost 1380 and for that amount you can get a painted one(decent mid tier sword unit with scare and frenzy abilities) plus another balearic slinger and still have some funds leftover. Thats way more killing potential and way less risk involved not to get your money's worth. If you watched the first game and generally most Arevaci games in this tournament you would see how much damage the balearics actually do, its stupid

@@HyenA806 Yeah ik it's Arevaci, but from the number of times, he said Lucitani my brain was washed into typing it. yes you indeed have a great point and I fully know and understand everything you said, but as you saw they brought a good amount of ranged units. I think I saw 2 cav units that are not generals which they could use for a more infantry-based army, anyway I really don't know if they know what armies they are going against or if they wouldn't know until the battle starts because if they did know I think they would've done a bit better. anyway, this battle is fun and I hope you enjoyed it as I did

I get a little weird about that because sometimes the unit pushes through the enemy unit. I don't want to acidently do a push through.

@@PixelatedApollo1what I do is put them in hoplite phalanx FIRST and then charge them in so they don’t do the push through glitch. You always want to give an attack order to your unit or else they’ll just stand there me get killed. You’ll do so much better by giving more attack orders

@@PixelatedApollo1 I think if you click one attack order you will be fine but sometimes hoplites do weird stuff

@@PixelatedApollo1 So with hoplites its so much more complicated than with the regular sword infantry, because you want to charge and get the bonus but you wanna go hoplite wall and get that bonus vs infantry as well. Most people either dont charge at all and lose on the charge bonus or like you dont bother with the hoplite wall since its janky and beyond buggy... If you charge your hoplites and then have another one of your units charge the same enemy unit your hoplite is fighting, that extra unit will serve as a ''battle buddy''. The point of a battle buddy is to make your hoplites safer against pila and jankiness of the hoplite wall mechanic. Once you have your hoplite and the battle buddy unit both fighting the enemy unit, thats when u hit that hoplite wall button. You hoplite wont get surrounded and pila'd to shit because of the battle buddy and you just used both the charge bonus and the hoplite wall bonus. This is why you see many people clump up their spartans or Illyrian hoplites when they engage in combat, you could see me doing the same thing in that practice match we did on this map as well. The hoplite wall push through bug can also be negated simply by reforming your unit once u press the hoplite wall button, its safe to disengage now because of your battle buddy. So charge, battle buddy engage, hoplite wall, reform, engage again 👌

Everyone in the group plays the same siège map for the week and then it switched next week to a new map

Winning against Gorilla bois? Is that even possible? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I believe they are like -5 as they are the best faction

You good dude?

@@PixelatedApollo1 do you think a 4070 can run rome 2 on max settings?

@@barkbarkboi7195 100%, Rome 2's performance isn't great regardless, but that GPU will have it as good as you're gonna get. It's 10 years old. Your CPU is more important for games like Rome 2 because of the thousands of models rendered though.

@hamez2192 well I have a intel i-9 so I should be fine then thanks for the info :)
