Total war rome 2 best ranged faction3/31/2024 ![]() I generally take the walls from a corner rather than the gatehouse (attack the weak point, not the strong point). ![]() Even the more heavily armoured rebel units like Hoplites can't run away, because when they turn their backs you can kill even more of them.Īll skirmishers are excellent on walls though. Just kep firin from range to decimate the enemy, draw them out and hit them from behind. ![]() I also have a few Militia Hoplites, but they just stand there and do absolutely nothing. I generally use them a lot when taking towns and have recently been using one unit each of Cretan Archers, Rhodian Slingers and Mercenary Peltasts with a general to take poorly garrissoned towns with zero losses. This means that the enemy are advancing through a hail of arrows and stones, taking losses all the way. The range and power of their missiles can decimate all but the most heavily armoured infantry before they get close. In RTW, three units each of Cretan Archers and Rhodian Slingers are worth their weight in gold. Horse archers/skirmishers are supposed to be for hit and run attacks? when should i use cavalry archers and how should i use them? How should i avoid this? when should i send my skirmishers forward? Skirmishers are for thining out the Ranks by running forward and peppering the enemy, a few of the Heavier skirmishers are Armour piercing so quite good at this and taking down elephants.if only they had time to fire at anything other then the enemies skirmishers if they were not all ready running away from enemy cavalry/infantry. This seems to work fine but why should i waste 2-3 slots on these when i could just add some more cavalry or light infantry? or anything for that matter, unless facing horse archers. they are also good against elephants and still cavalry. G'day i have another basic question, how do you use Ranged Units?įrom what i have gathered Archers/slingers are for firing at the enemy from a long distance and thining out enemy soldiers so that your forces may be victorious in the line battle. For a start i am refering to RTR but comments on RTW are fine.
