    Icon10 Noobing online

    Hey Everyone,

    When you play online do you ever come across total noobs? I fought my first one the other day and just had to make a video about it, it was so hilarious.

    Post your most noob-worth battles and let's share a laugh.

    Hmm seems like I should give mp another try
    In the chaos of battle, when the ground beneath your feet is a slurry of blood, puke, piss and the entrails of friends and enemies alike, it's easy to turn to the gods for salvation. But it's soldiers who do the fighting, and soldiers who do the dying, and the gods never get their feet wet.

    I played a battle against Hobbes and Baerke Hin Gautzki, Hobbes and I were killing eachother and after I'd defeated him I ran the few men I had left into Baerke's pike and shot formation.

    That was a good deployment you got going there, his Lancers were finished, no doubt he didnt play singleplayer at all.

    That is way too generic a question to have a single answer. It depends on the faction you are using, the faction our opponent is using, the terrain you are fighting over and the resource level before you even start in on individual play style.

    As for the video I agree that he is clearly inexperienced but I am not sure mocking him is quite the way to go although it is irritating when people boast about how badly they are going to beat you.

    For the record he did walk his cav through the stakes (which surprisingly he got right for being such a new player). It works in single player- I do it all the time. Not sure why it didn't work in mp.

    A mixed army most of the time and play to the faction's strengths. If it's England, don't be afraid to use their superb archers. Byznantine, make sure to have some missile cav. Scotland, pikes and noble swordsmen.

    He did run his cav. through the stakes, but TWL had slowed down the speed to a crawl so that we could see the Frenchies fly off their horses in slow-motion.

    Yeah, he charged full bolt into the stakes. I had it slowed to 0.4. It might be hard to see that if not watching HD. If you walk through the stakes you don't get hurt.

    Yeah after I took a second glance he is charging. I had to look at the horse legs to tell any difference. Usually that close to targets, the lances are brought forward for impact but he apparently didn't even select which units to charge into.
