RTW online gameplay

[LeonidasOfSparta]

Hello all!

I made this thread for all who plays online.



Here you can share your tricks, tips.... discuss online gameplay...wahtever you want that is related to online...


You can write your online name here too....mine is {SoA}[succesor]-Leonidas

I will start with a few of my tips:

1) small square banners on units are number of their upgrades

example: these Spartans here have 9 upgrades.




2) when you upgrade expereince instead of attack and defence it is better cause experience makes units formation tidyer and increases their will to fight along with attack and defence

Thats all from me for now.....

Hi leo, that last tip of yours is up for discussion. Common sense dictates you are right, but for some reason, most people that have played for a while seem to prefer jsut upgrading attack or defence. In games i play, i never upgrade experience because...it just doesnt seem to work as well.

ie. one experience up should equal + 1 def + one attack and be cheaper than singly upping one of each, but it does not seem to quite work like that.

Im doing a poor job of explaining this, but in practice it works better to only up defence or attack singulary. Maybe someone else can give a better explanation than i have ?

BTW, my tip is, never, ever forget to use alt attack with horses aftter the initial charge. Very important and can completely change outcome of mellee battle. Even more important with Cataphracts, as they pull out a hefty mace with 25 attack. This mace loves to kill armoured units, due to also being armour peircing. Cata with mace eats urbans and the like.

Hello Oman...

I havent seen you online LONG time ..

anyway...2nd tip.

Hmm common sense is on my side lol but i think im right cause it increases disipline level of units...wich means they fight more hardly and tidyer formations but as u say no proff....i will try to find one lol

and your tips

i agree lol since u told me that seems like i win cav batttls MORE easly...thx

Oman is right, armour and weapons are much better then exp. I've seen numidian legionarries stand to fire from cata archers with out loseing one man. And tubbz I believe it was told me to go armour and weapon upgrades so I did and it worked much better then if I had experiance, specially since I was against alot slingers.

Tip: win the archer war, the amount of times I don't take more then 5 archers I've been beaten to a bloody pulp becasue of this, who ever seems to win this battle usually wins, but winning the cavalry battle is usually just as important.

Tip: If your opponet has taken onagars use trees if their or any as the shots hit them. Whilst we are at it, onagars are to dam expensive so don't buy them in 10k games.

Tip: Not one to really help in battles, but don't use the box as people will dislike you.

HI leo, yes ive missed playing you mate. I tried to install BI patch for that god damn BI tourney last week and it screwed up my RTW. Uninstalled and tried ot re- install, but my disc is damaged. Im semi retired for a while and trying out MTW2 to see if i like it. Good time to do it as i cant play RTW even if i wanted to (disk) so will give mtw a good chance.

Adding experience increases attack, morale, and defense skill, which is only used in hand-to-hand combat. If you upgrade armour instead, it provides more resistance to missiles as well, so regarding cost and effectiveness, upgrades is probably better than chevrons.
