Medieval II Total War Turkish Chronicles 34



(Small reminder here, for those who would have missed my comment a couple days ago. My 3D card is dead, so my future video will probably lag, until I replace my 3D card.)

Since my "new" sieging army was in position, it was important to keep any potential fight out of the open field. The Mongols have an army that came on the right, to make sure this army (all of unit had 3 silver level of experience) would not attack my sieging army in the back I sent my army from the episode 32 to hold the bridge.

As you can see it worked well and all enemies were kill, and it secured the siege of Kiev.

I think what is interesting in this battle is the fact that the enemies had rocket launchers and the psychological aspect of that. It seems to kill a lot of your men, but in that case, it worth holding the position under fire.

yeah sure was, since my good 3D card is dead, I have to play with my old card, so if videos lag those days you can blame my old card.

(by the way you should choose "other" identy, you will be able to use a real nickname =)

Are you able to use rocket launchers?

Despite the lag, I think that was probably one of your best medieval vids. I do have one question; why do you never record your own music for the medieval vids? You did that every now and then for Rome, and it was pretty good stuff.

2 Rocket launcher- units like outshot you in the beginning of the battle!?
They really look like the best artillery against enemy troops. Which do you think is better against "soft targets" monster ribaults or rocket launchers?

I tried 2 of those monster ribaults in custom battle against byzantium, they ripped through his cataphracts and d-latinkon like knife through butter.

And I only had like 2 units of them, imagine what 6 monster ribault units might have done?! :D

Or alternatively 6 rocket laucher units.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nPlaj4XFf0. There is a really good vid at that adress. It is of imperial glory. The gameplay itself isn't really that good, but the music is just awesome. Note that the last character on that adress is a zero, not a capital o.

Yes you can use rocket launchers as mercenary units. I don't know if any faction produce them.

Rocket launcher is good against large or packed enemy formation and walls. If you can use rocket launcher, do it.

"why do you never record your own music for the medieval vids?"

Well It's mostly because of copy right. I try to make my video so that I own all right to them. Since video games are of Public domain, you can do what you want with them. Not related music that is Copyrighted music would make my videos "not legitimate" and youtube, google video, and other would have reason to retire them because of "copyright violation"

So for exemple some of my early video could be ask to be retired of youtube because of questionable copyright stuff.

Copyright are a pain in the ***. But there is good reason why they exist so that people can live from what they created and can control the way they are use.

Nice Battle, Those bridge battles are always hard for me because I don't really have any strategies for them. Do you have any good ones?

Also, do you know what I should build in my cites so that I can make money and still keep the people happy?


Thanks

Attila said...

well the best strategy is the one in this video, have 2 catapult unit, some spearman, and hold the line like that, the enemies will panic.

as for your city, build road, farm, port, market. that should do the job. =)

Attila,do you think Fraps will work recording games played on a Mac?

Attila said...

Depend what you mean by "mac", fraps is "exclusively" for "windows". So you won't be able to use it on MacOS X.

But if you use a Mac pro, that can run windows, it's should work fine since fraps is like any other software

There is also the fact that fraps use a specific codex for the video, so if you want to edit it with IMovie, you will need to convert the original video in an other codex before IMovie can run it in the MacOS X

So if you use a mac pro with the windows "emulator" it should work. But I would recommend you try the demo first to make sure.
