[Chlodwig I.]

I love it,

Its great


I like the smell of greekfire in the morning
it smells like victory.



Killed 169 enemies in a battle with one flamethrower unit

[beezneez]

[HansDuet]

Yes it is... Try to have 20 units of flamethrower versus 20 units of cheap spearmen...

And what do you get? 20 units of Shish Kebabi Specials?

[HansDuet]

Something like that.. Anyway, they are great fun!

[Nathanial]

My favourite unit in the game! altho they really do seem to be Uber! which can make things a little easy! but sure! they rox my sox

[Saibot]

They're so awesome. They're great at defending against sieging armies. Just place them at the side of the gate and watch them own. Or place them on a hill behind your infantry and watch them own too . They're a bit overpowered though, but who cares?

[UniQ]

Well I dont really think they are too good at the battlefield but they are sure fun to watch
A fast cavalry charge brings them down though, great to watch them flame people at sieges at least

[IrAr]

They're not too "uber" in the sense that archers/crossbowmen can take them out quite easily.

Another awesome unit is the mangonel. I have gotten over 400 kills with a single mangonel in several battles.

BURN BABY BURN!!

[HansDuet]

Damn... I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

[Spurius]

Another good reason to be in the back row at all times: for friendly arrows you can slap a shield on your back, but for this? I'd probably press 'C' (spread out) real fast.

[UniQ]

Put an arrow in the tank and it will explode on them!.....wait....

Flamethrowers gave the fourth crusade about the same colour as an espresso.
It's just great.
They're not that easy to use but they're devastating. Really really devastating. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! It's great!


I want the Welsh, Lithuanians, Aztecs and Byzantines joined in one faction.

[HansDuet]

Why those four?

[Francebunkerer]

Why those four?

'cause they're the coolest faction of each campaign.

[HansDuet]

Aah! I see. For me it would be Spanish, Norwegian, Byzantine and Teutons - Ritterbrüders! Damn i love those guys!

[Mr Longbowman]

Anybody tried Flamethrowers on top of a castle wall against a seige tower?

Havent commanded the flamethrowers personnaly yet but oh man its going to be fun
