Monster ribault

[Oklop]

Me and my colleague just installed MTW2 in our office at work and we are starting to bash each other when there is nothing to do. Now we installed the vanilla version and I am kind of starting to like Milan but I have one question.

Is monster ribault any good? And how do you use it? We like to play "movie" battles with lots of infantry and nice bombardments from artillery without much fast charges from hordes of cavalry but this piece of artilery puzzles me. It has short range (relatively) and it seems that you can fire only one full volley before you have to retreat. I mean rocket launcher thingies are more, well...deadly.

Any uses for monster ribault?

It's good against infantry, it does alot of damage also but dosen't have a very long range and the ammo get's low fast. IMO the best artillery would be Basilik but I don't think Milan can have it.

If you see the rocket launcher as more deadly, use it instead.
What an awesome Job you have. Playing M2tw when theres nothing to do.

Zorboz, yup, I got promoted to manager and as I work in a travel agency, now there is not much work and what there is can be solved by the agents. So I told the ticketing manager guy about the game and as he is Turkish he got hooked on the green machine and voila! But soon the new year bookings will start and we will have to forget the game for a while.

But there is still 2 - 3 weeks for fight.

If hes Turkish he will like the Janissaries
Counter them with Arrows, they have about no cover against them.
I hope your question was solved?

[Oklop]

Yes he likes everything about the turks. This is his first TW game so I am kind of training him.

Anyway thanks for the answers guys, but my work time is about over so see ya tomorrow.

Well I think only the Mongels and Timurids get rocket launchers so Monster Ribaults are just the next best thing.

Only the Timurids get's the Roctek Launchers and they also get the Elephant Rocketeers

Yes, I started Milan campaign (I hate them when I play as another faction) but checking the artillery section they seem to be a bit under represented.

The rest is good, and you can train most of the best units in cities.

Can Templar/Hospitaler chapter house be built in cities?

[Saint_jimmyz]

Group the monster ribaults together and unlease one or two death barrages on the foe. Then get out of the way fast!

I yes, as far as I am aware they can (correct me if im wrong!), but you msut be approached by them first like any othr guild.

Thanks Saint_jimmyz, I asked because so far I have only been offered the chapter houses in castles.

Ok, almost end of the work time.
Thanks guys.

I think also that you can only choose one of the religious orders. For example, you can't have the Templar Knights and the Hospitaller Knights to set up a guild in your faction, but you can have one or the other.

Ah thank you, my mistake.

No problem Rep please

[Lysimachus]

Please tell me you're joking. I beg you aren't being serious.

Not so, Ive had a Swordsmith in Constantinople, a Horsebreeder in Jerusalem and a Knights Hospitilar in Zargreb. All cities. If you look in EDB the lack of reference to either city or castle in the guilds opening line, means it can be built in either.

And Monster ribaults are best used to plug a gap in your settlement wall, one good volley as the enemy close the distance then drop back and replace with infantry...

[Old_Scratch]

Back to monster ribaults, make sure to set them to fire all barrels. I usually put them on my flank and fire diagonally at their center in order to fire through a greater number of soldiers. The shots go through a lot of targets so if positioned right they can cause a lot of damage in one volley.

So who gets rep?
