scots guards are there because of the "auld alliance" (franco scottish alliance).

Whatever you do - don't capture Ajacco on Corsica. This freaking place is like a tourist hotspot, I swear. Each freaking Mediterranean faction will visit it and try to take it from you. Even goddamn Moors. Even freaking Pope stationed some armies there, I don't know why. This poor region will add you more headache than actual help and will drag you into war with lots of factions for no reason. Ignore it.

Please keep making these. They help me a lot during campaign. For example I’m currently playing as Spain and I didn’t now were to start. Now I own all of Iberia and some of france in the 37th turn

my favorite faction. hilarious accents, good color scheme, good starting position to expand into britain, some of the best foot archers in the game, some of the most elite knights in the game, wide selection of heavy infantry and polearms, actuall good units coming from your cities (other than the italian factions, French city units are probably some of the strongest).

Great faction guide/unit breakdown! Thanks! I usually just disband all peasant units at the start of a campaign to build money faster.

1:48 The Reason why Town Militia have 7 Defense is because of 1 Melee Defense Skill, and 6 Shield Pike Militia only have 1 Melee Defense too 4:12 Spear Sergeant have 9 Defense because they have 3 Melee Defense Skill, and 6 Shield Armored Sergeant have 14 because of 5 Armor(Light Mail), 3 Melee Defense, and 6 Shield

Yes scots guards for french king is historically accurate

I noticed that economic wise, the French are the easiest faction, never had financial problems throughout the campaign, however the only faction I haven't went to war is with Spanish, mostly I fought against HRE and Milan, so I mostly went for Milan to take aways their good settlements and focused on middle east.

Arquebusiers is pronounced "ark-wah-boos-ears," although I have also heard some use "ark-way-boos-ears". ;)

when i played them..i had united the French territories...took out egypt and reclaimed jerusalem in a crusade only ment for Cairo..made many alliances and trade deals..and at one point was top in EVERY CATEGORY...but than i had a econonmic collapse, and was attacked on 2 fronts..and afew alliances where broken..but i recovered from the collapse..and luckily as the units i disbanded to recover where my crusade units..it means france itself never lost any units..meaning im fully set to launch a counteroffensive! and all of this in the over 40 turns

Always play france on this game, frankish Knights are the Best, also they were the chief army of the crusades

Oh amd can you do my favorite faction the Byzantines. Make the Roman Empire Great Again

France and scotland was allied

I think the Scots guards resulted in needing the French to have an elite archery unit, as their archers suck, and also recognition of the French and Scottish friendly relationship because both countries hated England. As for the Longbow, it was the Welsh that provided Longbows, so it should be a Welsh guard. I'm not sure to what extent the Scots did. Scottish are better known for pike formations and shock infantry, not archery, let alone Longbow

Let's be honest the best overall faction

You should make a faction guide for medieval total war kingdoms

You were correct aventurier does mean adventurer

I took French in middle school so I know how it is pronounced. Dijon (D jon) Bordeaux (Bore a ox) Rennes (Rans) Toulouse (Too loose) Rheims (Ree ms). You are welcome.

I would say 100% go for HRE. The faction has the most provinces in game and they get OP pretty fast. Also the AI HRE tends to leave many units in cities+the additonal stacks roaming around that make conquest hard later on. The British usually are not an issue even late game. They tend to keep peace treaty for a long time. Milan is an easy target too. Spain is indeed a no no.

Do you understand anything about basic warfare tactics? the reason why horseman carry both spears and swords is because spears are for charge and swords for melee, every cavalrymen in this game does that

Can raising my generals command skill counter the “may charge without orders” trait on a lot of the French knights?

two-handed infantry in medieval 2 are quite suck, so best infantry of france is dismounted feudal knight ( and dismounted chivalric knight in custom battle )

Arquebusiers=Ark-kay-boo-see-ayys

Thanks

Luv your vids bro

An interesting faction, whose AI is totally tarnished, though. I mean, it's just a classic to see them do trash campaigns and often disappear completely after the first 80 turns or so...

"Here you surrender" "No, u"

Isn't that ironic that France doesn't have Musketeers in their roster? I mean, what the actual fuck CA?

Imagine saying, that Lancers wont die.

Bro you are amazing but can you tell me how to stop battle lag on this game it's amazing game but only in battle I have lag can anyone help me and make more often videos !!

They are pronounced ar-qu-bu-sears

I think You should do guide for stainless steel factions

peasants are unless... expect in russia

cavalry is king in med 2

Lastima q no le entiendo un carajo....no se porque los youtuber de idioma.español no se les ocurre hacer algo como esto🙄
