The most difficult battle in Total War history?

Ойындар

An insane battle, the result of equally ludicrous circumstances. Possibly the hardest ever encountered in the history of Total War.

    If you can do a 41 unit campaign, there's a mod in the steam workshop for the ui to be adjusted somewhat to 41. Then you can change the save files using either editsf or save parser to change the game to what you want. I recommend editsf and looking up tutorials to get ya started. Love the video man.

    It may be extremely difficult but I think this is possible without the pause exploit. Utilizing unit grouping might help overcome some of the more tedious micro during the initial ambush. Once the generals are killed and units start breaking, as long as you've preserved most of your unit strength, it's pretty much a cakewalk as even the enemy samurai will break without much fight.

    While I do agree on the Editing side (He could do some extra editing work for HIS OWN campaign or quick battle Let's Plays, such as putting a simple cinematic intro for example). You also need to consider that MOST of his videos are community/user-submitted ones. Most players submit their campaigns/battles requests to him in either the AUTOSAVE or HARD SAVE format where the events are either JUST ABOUT TO HAPPEN or HAS HAPPENED (but recovered by reverting to the old save JUST BEFORE the event). Editing HIS OWN campaign/battle videos is one thing, but editing a user-submitted campaigns/battles is another.

    Thing is, even with ambush, it would be a defensive battle due to balance of power. And turtling up against 6.000 soldier army with 20+ missile units wouldn't work anyway. If his thinking worked (no ambush), he would effectively buy himself a turn this way and not lose anything, even if he lost, which he didnt so it works out to be about the same.

    @Stas sats I have saw those videos before, the mindset is more for pvp, and the design is fair for pvp, but no way in the campaign. Tell me, how are you gonna win AI's spamming bow samurais with buff that gives them accuracy and reload rate hiding behind the data? The thing I want to say is that they could simply just add another projectile data for campaign's unit, and it's so easy that I can make it myself in 3 mins. But treating campaign like pvp isn't really sound fun, nor does it look. They basically didn't separate Campaign and MP too much, which is why I can't really accept that pathetic 100 range for a matchlock, if matchlock can't win the bow or at least comparable with the bow, why even Japanese at that time adopt them? Either in game design or historical reference, it's unacceptable for me

Use your own archers in loose formation preferably with forest cover, and\or ram enemy archers with cav. Matchlocks should stand behind your melee infantry(preferably on the hill) and shoot through gaps in the line or over your troops(matchlocks can shoot enemy cav over your troops even on flat ground). Takeda katana cav will lose 1v1 against yari ashigaru without even yari wall - this doesn't mean cav is useless or bad.

    The fact that you can see what units are ambushing you and think about your strategy before the ambush actually starts is cheating, as well as the Shift-Tab exploit. I wonder if the entire plan was conceived on the fly without actually sitting there staring at all the intel for an hour. Also I think that in real life this ambush would 100% end with total annihilation of the defending force, unless of course the attackers were dogshit at their job and got wrecked with rudimentary tactics employed by the opposing side (in real life complex maneuvering like in Total War is virtually impossible even with contemporary technology; any and every tactical move more complex than ‘cavalry go right flank’ or ‘archers retreat’ would be rehearsed a million times beforehand and executed independently by the units themselves rather than transferred to the units mid-battle).
