I think the Spartan hoplites also inspire nearby units 🤔 making chain routing harder. Definitely right tactic to take them out 1st. Not sure in RR if units still take more damage from their unshielded side or not ?
@WidzelliАй бұрын
Im pretty sure they do take more damage from their unshielded side, I should have been more careful with using my ammo against their unshielded side. Luckily I had enough anyways and it worked out. I can’t find anything to confirm that they also inspire nearby units but that would make a lot of sense. Thanks for the comment!

It's funny, but this is one of my favorite factions :) Yes, it is very difficult. They have almost no normal units. Legionnaires are available late, and they are not particularly strong. The fight with Reformed Rome is very difficult, and Egypt with its chariots is generally suicide :D I used to capture everything through Spain too. Sometimes it turned out to capture Carthage. The mercenaries helped a lot :) I also tried to capture as many small islands as possible (Sardinia, Crete, Rhodes, etc.), hoping to get more income. Money, it seems to me, is very important for Numidia. Great video! Good luck and success :)

I’m glad to see there are some Numidia enjoyers out there. I can see the appeal with its difficulty for sure. Getting those small islands to boost the economy is an interesting idea, I want to test that out a bit. I agree, the hardest part about Numidia is getting reliable money.

Looks like a great campaign! Difficulty level? Legend of Total War has an old campaign of them up from years ago where even he spent most of it bitching about how terrible they were, lol. Ever try Spain? Another great challenge, but at least they have some solid units around which armies can be built (BULL WARRIORS). I would suggest you try Barbarian Invasion Berbers campaign - Numidia part 2, but a little bit better choice of units IMO. Little bit better...
@Widzelli3 ай бұрын
Very Hard difficulty for both campaign and battle, I have played the game for too long for the lower difficulties to be challenging/fun. I'll have to go find that campaign of his, he's a great KZfaqr for Total War. He's also totally right here , they feel like a faction with no upside sometimes for sure. I have tried Spain and I think their roster with the bull warriors makes them that much better than Numidia, although they're still pretty trash. I think another thing about them that gets overlooked a lot is that Spain is really defensible because the ai is pretty unlikely to navally invade with a lot of units until later in the campaign, so you basically just focus on the mountain passes into the Gaul region once you consolidate all of Spain. Berbers sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@WidzelliYes...Spain is a nightmare for the AI to invade if controlled by a human. Saw one guy do the Berber thing a couple of years back, but he played on average difficulty, kept save scumming a LOT, and was kinda weird, lol. A good Berber stream would be worth watching... Keep up the good work.

Numidia has definetely an interesting set up of unit roaster, with javelinman being trained at default melee-barracks (T1!) meaning they are cheap javelin throwers in place of town guard. I remember using them with huge number advantage as semi-hastati, with bigger range, more ammo and fast moving at the cost being considerably worse at melee. The only difficult part about that tactic was that training them was easy and fast but they upkeep was quite high. IIRC numidia shared medicore temples with Carthage - Baal (+law), Milquart (+trade) and Tanit (+farming), with the last one being surprisingly good, giving you mix of population growth and moneymaking, and IIRC it had really good retuine members to join you from their temples - Agriculturalist (+1 farming) and Priest of Tanit (+1 farming) meant you could end up with +7 farming or more at T3. Because numidian javelinmen are at barracks, they have their long range missle unit (slingers) put down on lower tier (T1 archery building, needing T2 city) meaning you also get earlier access to actually long range units. The Numidian infantry is even worse than it looks, since all spear units (the ones that always use spears, not hoplites of falanxmen) have +8 when fighting cavalery and -4 when not, meaning they are worse than their already underwhelming stats show on infantry-v-infantry fights.
@Widzelli3 ай бұрын
I can see why you did the javelinman spam, but I personally think the Numidian cavalry are better because of the mobility it allows you. You can lose a battle without losing many men and dish out a ton of damage because of it. But yeah, the Numidian roster is pretty pathetic. I can see the argument for Spain having a worse roster, but at least they have bull warriors. The Numidian Legionnaires are just not good at all in comparison. Makes the campaign that much more difficult (and interesting)
@MajkaSrajka3 ай бұрын
@@Widzelli Barbarian factions because they only have three tiers of the cities instead five, they often have really great units for their tier - barbarian warbands are better than towns guard and their top end warriors are better than same tier principes. They often have pretty great temples. Spain does not only have Bull Warriors, but Scuttari are pretty decent, round shield cavalery is something like +2attack +2defence over roman equivelent, and +1 +2 +3 experience temple can supercharge them too. If I remember properly warcry temporarily increases attack power by 10 which can close a lot of powerlevel gaps - they may not be as good as Urban Cohort, but can mop the floor with pre-reform romans when used correctly. No way spain has worse unit roaster, IIRC they actually have same round shield and long shield cavalery as carthage (and numidia), that combined with them having better infantry and better campaing map situation (better combat temples, better starting location). I have been thinking about how to make any campaing more challanging, and instead of doing things like changing difficulty that turns the combat balance upside down (battle map difficulty gives static buffs and debuffs on all units in battle - -4 for all your units and +8 to all enemy unit attack on very hard) or making mechanics like economy upside down (very hard campaing gives you something like 25% money making penalty and gives enemy +100% money generating, making many enemies effectively infinitely rich), I've been thinking about just skipping the number of first turns (20? 30? 50?) maybe with the exception of being allowed to build buildings and defend your cities if they are attacked).
@Widzelli3 ай бұрын
That’s an awesome idea for a campaign! Although I still enjoy the harder difficulties because I think it’s easy to snowball into a juggernaut early on and make the rest of the campaign boring. Putting the turn handicap would be very interesting though. Thanks for the comments and for watching!
@MajkaSrajka3 ай бұрын
@li If you like longer campaing and don't like the fact that factions like numidia or parthia are wedged into the corner of the map you should try Mundus Magnus campaing map that doesn't change anything except add bigger and denser map with more room to breathe and to conquest. Downloaded it ages ago and now each time I see a regular campaing map I get confused about how tiny it is haha Edit: IIRC remastered/steam version has messy compatibility with old mods (even on regular graphics) so you may have troubles unless you switch into old pre-remaster install of the game.

Playing a Numidian campaign right now! Personally I'd suggest the quickest way to shore up your finances if you start this again is to rush taking Carthage and Lilybaeum. If you are successful and quick then it leaves you with much better finances and it's the best time to attack the Roman factions when they are still full of relatively garbage units. Fighting off the Egyptians at Siwa is always going to be a pain, depends how long they take to look at you if you feel like hanging on to it. Good effort on the campaign to get the result still!
@Widzelli3 ай бұрын
I think you're completely right, it's definitely possible to take out Carthage and use the wealth of those cities to fuel your campaign. I was too worried about the Romans at such an early stage, but you're right, I could have beaten them early and not had to deal with the Marian reforms. The defense of Siwa is really a struggle, although I think with the right amount of skill and luck it is definitely possible. The problem is sometimes it doesn't feel like it's worth it because it's so far away from your capital, so corruption hurts public order and revenue from the cities. Thanks for the feedback and for watching!

Since you dont have siege equipment or other means of breaking the walls, the game thinks you cant break in. The bot meanwhile doesnt do shit, while it is attacking.

You have the choice windows. Do you take the draw or do you want to continue the battle. If you continue they will usually sally out, if you wait long enough and dont habe anything capable of breaking walls. Only one thing can stop them from doing that, especially on gigher unit scales: the shitty path finding. If even one entity starts to get stuck the unit will not sally out.

I think it's easier at the higher difficulty because it makes circumventing the boss's cheats a little easier, but you can do it at any of the 4 tiers of difficulty. But make sure you're at the highest possible level for you tier. For example, tier 4 is for lvl 110-170 wizards, so it makes sense to be as close to level 170 as possible when you're doing it because that will make it much easier
