Artillery destroying cohorts in one volley, scythed chariots making an entire cohort fly

[caissus]

Please. No.

[Sir Sesshaku]

Too late.

[zagy20]

I agree definitly no. Artillery I think should stay how it was in Fall of the Samurai only a weaker as a rock isnt anywhere near as powerful as an explosive ball. Scythed chariots I think should be able to easily destroy stragglers or light units however wont stand a chance against formations of heavy infantry.

[Sebt1890]

decimated those troops, then again I'm sure it'll be similar to the other TW games, a bunch fly up and then 2/3 stand back up and keep fighting.

[Purplzhazy]

F... the elephants, we have the artillery !

[torongill]

You know, the bigger the unit scale, the lesser effect artillery has

[IGdood]

Leves, Velites, Mercenary Elephants......ooooh yeaaaaaah

[Sol Invictus]

Some silly over the top stuff. Still hate the unit cards. Campaign map looks awesome except for the massive cities.

[MrChris]

the battle wasn't that clear tbh, they kept skipping parts of it but meh

to me, when he hit them with the chariots it looked like most of the men weren't killed, they just got knocked quite a distance (looked bigger cos of the hill ha)

but that artillery certainly did seem extremely destructive compared to what I expected

Good lord, who did the unit and battle cards and the whole UI? He needs to be flogged. It's terrible, just terrible.

llook at E3 nile battle demo . romans get hit by catapult and fly 5 meter in aer then the chariot same thing . does world not have realistic physics 2000 years ago ? what you think ca why ...... very disapoint seem like rome will be arcade game ....

[CheesyFreak]

ill copy paste my answer from the same thread from official total war forums.

in my opinion its not so bad, i dislike the capture point happening but the battle was pretty good even if men where sent high, but im more of a gamer that goes with the flow so generally little disappoints me as long as its not too apart of what total war is, wich in my opinion this isnt.

[Cresilia]

You are disappoint?

Tough luck, I am not. I think the battle looked cool, even if the arty was OP.

[sgthunter]

in Rome 1 men flew much higher :p

[Romans]

Agreed the men flying was ridiculous, and artillery certainly seemed OP.

I don't think its that bad and I would not like to be facing 8 charging chariots, they were only foot men and chariots would be very weak against archers.

[caissus]

I hated how powerful arty was in FOTS, seems like they think ancient artillery is as effective as 19th century cannons.

[Furber]

Not at all a fan of the unit cards either, and the artillery seemed too accurate.

[Evelien]

The victory points annoy me more. The units flying in the air... a bit too much (but it somehow felt great to see those units fly)! I actually kind of like the unit cards somehow, they got something special, the unit cards for the boats are not really my taste but they will do. Overall it looked great! Great campaign map and units. Personally I can't wait.
