I started thinking about the same thing sometime between the 1/2 and 2/3 mark, once it became clear the humans were going to win. The final margin would give the impression that the battle wasn’t all that close, but I’m really curious how it would have played out with just those 5 fire archers removed. I mean, this is only a rough estimate but it looked like a single shot from one of them could take out 100, maybe even 200+ zombies - obviously there were quite a few shots that didn’t appear to hit any at all, but still, those 5 units definitely did a lot of the heavy lifting.

Epic. Protecting the flanks so the archers and catapults could do their work.

A highly accurate representation of this historical event. I remember being impressed how Cleopatra managed to avoid friendly fire with her fireballs.

4:12-4:20 That Transition from the Fireworks sweeping through the them closing in on the front line Was Fuxkin SICC 😂😂

Without fire archers and the jedi this battle would have been lost.

I think that it would be interesting to do some battle that focus more to the fortress defence rather than on a large ground battle. I mean more archers staying on the walls and less blocking units in front of walls, blocking rather gates than staying in open terrain. The fortress has several lines of defence, it would be intriguing to see if they can hold back the enemy.

@CB-lw7ty

5 ай бұрын

It'd be heavily more 1 sided in favour of the defenders unless you can program wall scaling like World War Z does, otherwise you're funnelling millions of units into gates where it's 5v5 and all that matters in that situation is who's got the better troops almost regardless of numbers. Its a skill used in alot of total war games that if an enemy has a large army that will cause you huge losses, retreat to the nearest fort or bridge, stack up behind the gate or 1 side of the bridge and you can beat back armies 8x your size just by removing the numbers advantage if you can funnel them into 1 channel.

So we now know that probably a tenth of humanities forces could have stomped the zombies if they just used their castle defenses properly. Probably would have had practically no losses if this force had even a basic idea of defensive tactics

Ce courage à toute épreuve est parfaitement mis en lumières grâce aux plans large, aux perspectives et à la musique. Merci pour ce moment qui nous montre des batailles dandesque avec différentes références, à la fois historique et imaginaires, que nous nous sommes tous imaginés. Bisou

The fire archers hald in the game shot a lot volley's in there own rangks ... humans would have been overrunned if the jedi knights wouldend had comme to there aid. The jedi knight have maded a big difference. The moment humans where overrunned , the jedi knights came to cover both flanks, so the catapulds and archers could continiuosly killing from a distance and not had to fight in close combat. Annyway Awsomme vid thanks for sharing and posting !!!

I like that I can see the countdown of all the remaining and dead soldiers/zombies clearly.

I think it would have been much more interesting to see a human army defend a castle against an overwhelming zombie hoard then to have basically a battle in an open field with a castle as background scenery. That was a pretty funny role reversal in the end of the video though when it was zombies defending a castle against invading humans!

I've read some reviews on Steam that say the game lacks a lot of polish in some areas, and unit creation is buggy, but for only $20, I think I may have to buy this game anyway.

I understand that the presence of units with area-of-effect damage can somewhat trivialize the battle. However, in a map with narrow entrances like this, units like the Super Archers are necessary. Without such units, both sides would be trapped behind the narrow gate, piling up bodies and slowly dying for hours on end. Your suggestion regarding friendly fire from ranged attacks is a good one. Additionally, it would be great to have certain units with the ability to climb walls or overcome steep terrain. Thank you for watching my video, and I appreciate your suggestions. I hope to have an opportunity in the future to compile these ideas and convey them to the game developers.

Zombies shouldn't be near indestructible either. 98% HP? Zombies are walking dead, that means SOME zombies have been decaying while others (Many) have had horrific deaths. No way should the entire Zombie masses be this high for damage. Some zombies would fall apart into pieces of gory/ rotting flesh, as they walk/run but all the zombies have all their arms and legs. So, OPing the humans with weapons seems fair to me.

Imagine fighting chest deep in blood, glorious!

Great battle!

These videos are fascinating

For a show of force , I was surprised that the archers and catapults didn’t get in on the last castle and the 5000 zombies that were trickling out ….🤣👍🏽

If as many catapults as possible had been moved from the outside of the castle to the inside, and as many archers as possible had been moved to the top of the castle walls, and all forces had been moved closer to the castle walls, and roman soldiers had blocked all the entrances... I think the defenders could have handled an enemy force twice as big.

Хорошее видео спасибо

Positives: Useful depictions of the importance of flanking and outflanking, and the immobility problem of vulnerable artillery. Also, as several battles of Adrianople would suggest, of the issue of drowning, even in blood. Finally, the issue of timeous moving of reserve forces who seemed to be hampered by narrow gates. By the way, the fort or forts seemed in dire need of repair and improvement. Must be 2023 USA then? Negatives: The main thing about zombies is once bitten, your own soldiers turn. Both the numbers and the scenes failed to prove these are real zombies. Secondly, the disconcerting realization that humanity would be toast because, without a sudden and improbable army of Jedi Knights, our right flank would have been overrun within 3 minutes. Our center would therefore have been surrounded and cut off within 15 minutes. And we all know Anakin killed The Order. Finally, even pseudo-zombies do not need courage because they are hungry (yet seemed not to feed?!?) but humans would never have such courage as several regiments who marched into obvious death there. No, the myths about us are not true. In every battle lost (even won) we ran against our better knowledge. Sidenote: The 20,000 generals (?!?!) need to consult with the ghost of King Harold of Hastings because the locked shield wall discipline seemed lacking and he can tell you all about that. Or read some Bernard Cornwell, the shields physically stay locked and pushing, with fighting limited to stabbing, no wide slashing, otherwise the shield wall, which was a precursor to the peace-time invention of rugby scrummage, is ineffective and useless.
