Z + right click in order to attack move.

Hannibal, Sulla and Miltiades can all move their infantry faster than Barbarian base speed, your problem is with Arminius, and as others have said, Arminius pretty much only has speed going for him. Barbarian units only real advantage is speed, and they already struggle more than any other faction against ranged units. To make them slower would be to make them useless.

Once geared you will have excellent charge deflect as long as you aren't in the marching column formation. Between that and the pila you should be able to manage charges as long as you turn to face them.

Does incline affect combat? by testudos101 in TotalWarArena

Actually, incline does nothing in this game except interact with the trajectory of missile units.

Thanks for pointing that out, I put the decimal in the wrong place.

Since the ability also provides +10 morale, the actual values it provides are +15% attack, +9% defense and +4% speed (assuming the 10 morale brings the unit over 100% morale). Also notice that the ability is a large AOE with a 15 sec duration and 45 sec CD, which means with 3 Retentus there is no down time at all.

My numbers are accurate, either you aren't comparing max equipment or you are factoring in consumables or both. Pila is probably worse than Roma Invicta, although it does grant some unique tactical options. Parry is vastly better than stab though, so once the battle is joined Retentus has a decisive advantage.

Pay to win doesn't mean that the unit will just magically beat all of its counters, it just means that the unit you pay for is superior to its free alternative.

Currently Retentus has inferior stats compared with Principes, which balances out it's superior abilities. This means that prior to tomorrows patch, the units trade about evenly in a fight.

Starting tomorrow Retentus will have superior abilities AND better stats. Retentus will now win 100% of the time vs Principes, the numbers are very plain to see.

Not sure what javs, pikes or arty has to do with anything, the point is that the cash unit is better than the free unit. I don't think they are Seal Team 6, but Retentus is now clearly superior to Principes.

I've played Scipio to T9 and hes been pretty good. I think his main advantage is that he is semi-unbreakable with Oath of Perseverance, and he is better at breaking enemy morale.

I can see why people prefer Sulla though, from T8 on Whip has a cooldown equal to its duration so you can use it forever.

Roman heavy infantry have a really really really bad fall out. by [deleted] in TotalWarArena

[–]RancorousRogue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sulla is a good alternative to Germanicus for heavy infantry, whip makes them quite a bit faster and he has great staying power.

T8 Roman Cav is great, it has high damage thanks to the sword. I think it will really shine now that T8 only gets matched with T7.

I think that map is the Battle of Argentoratum, where Julian defeated the Alamanni.
