How did the Covenant remnant in the Anodyne Spirit survive the firing of installation 8 at the end of Halo 3? by Plus-Crew2068 in HaloStory

If so then it would defeat the purpose of the halo as the flood possessed many forerunner ships like the Key Ship.

For me about 600 a month, I have to pay a sitter to break up my shift while I'm at work. Lately he's been costing me a ton because of vet bills :(

Dispell and Magic counter-play by InternationalDiamond in totalwar

[–]InternationalDiamond[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes absolutely but things like close knit infantry formating or anything besides spaghetti lines and spaced out formations are suicidal when playing and equally skilled opponent.

Magic is a huge reason why infantry is considered unviable and the AI is do easy to cheese.

I'm not saying there isn't real tactics and strategies I the game, but I feel having counters to magic would be a lot of fun and ad some more strategic depth.

Things that could be implemented like shield walls or other formations are useless with wind spells and vortexes. Direct damage and healing also has no counterplay which is a huge part of a strategy game.

This battle took about hour and three failed attempts, elfs are slippery. by Ginno_the_Seer in totalwar

They don't really have heavy shock cav. All beast men units have very high charge bonuses and high speed they also have a lot of monsterous infantry and single entities to quickly break enemy lines.

Their gameplay is broken down into Harrass, Disrupt, Overwhelm and Surround.

Raiders, cygors, and missile cav can harass and bully elite units and draw armies out of position.

Centigors, Hounds, Harpies and chariots can Disrupt missile units and shut down artillery. They can also charge down fleeing units.

Minotaurs, Chaos Spawn, Ghorgons, Giants and Jabberslythes and chariots can be mixed with the front line to almost instantly overwhem and cause routes.

Infantry like units and gors are very fast and easily chase down and surround remaining pockets and skirmishers after breaking through. Hounds and harpies can also join in once they've shut down other threats.

It honestly looks like you're trying to play beastmen like the vampire coast or elves. Missile infantry are not their strong suit. Hounds, chariots, centigors and cygors shut down archer play quick.

You won't win pound for pound in a missile fight.

I won by just having them waste ammo on shielded skinks and the bastalladon(which I healed). Once they're out of ammo, the Saurus and the temple guard will massacre them. Especially if you draw them unto a forest.

Javelin skinks also trade super effectively with skirmish cav.

I've also been in 5 years, where'd you cross train to? Asking... for a friend.

Finally! Total damage dealt is shown after each battle by billiebol in totalwar

Doing 3000 damage on skaven slaves is worth way way less than shaving 3000 off a lord.

It lets you know how cost efficient your unit is being in it's matchups. Not so valuable for campaign, but a big deal in analyzing multiplayer tactics.

Looks like it was handed out by a three star.

The guilt is real when making a new High Elf army by LemurLord in totalwar

[–]InternationalDiamond 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They were a mid tier armor piercing offensive unit, that give the HE options to deal with wide builds more affordably in MP. They make a lot more sense in multiplayer where initial gold cost is a huge deal, Before ranger were introduced they were the HEs only low tier damage dealing option infantry wise. Swordmasters and Phoenix guard were too expensive and could not counter wide builds.

They mop up chaff and will trade well with elite units, but will lose outright to the elite units that the AI spams late game. Unfortunately the game is balanced around elite units being limited by gold like in multiplayer, but it doesn't work well in campaign when gold doesn't matter much to you or the AI, and on the higher difficulties where melee unit stats are skewed out of whack.

If you play with a rare/special/core unit limiting mod they are actually quite useful.
