TWA Spartan Rage

Finally its time to fight in the shade and hold the line in Total War: Arena together with my shield brother Hive account@mugsy7. We start our first battle on Rubicon a very wide map full of flanking opportunities and dominated usually by Cavalry regiments roaming looking for the kill, luckily I'm using spears this should be interesting.

Total War: Arena is a 10v10 battlefield where everyone picks 1 commander from 1 of 3 nations Greek, Romans, and Barbarians and they take 3 regiments into battle with them. You then proceed to fight it out to gain dominance and win or lose you gain silver and experience for your troops and commander and level them up.

So that's the basics of the game itself of course the details are in the fine print. Every unit has its counter in this game and its all about knowing when to fight, where to fight and how to fight. If you know these 3 details you more then likely to come out on top every time. You actually see a few instances of this in the game I was playing, right at the start you see enemy archers get charged by some of our cavalry, archers are weak to cav cause of their low mobility and survivability.

Luckily there is lots of cav in the game for me, as I am a spear i get bonus damage when in combat against them. So i get relatively left alone in this game letting me manoeuvre easily in this game. This lets us outflank the enemy early crush a flank and then get back to the base in time to defend and counter push, which in the end lets us win the game because of a higher body count on our side.

So this is TW:A, I left this untouched as much as possible just so you can see the context of the video better and what led to me making some decisions in the battle itself and show off more of the game and what it's about. If i figure out a better way of showing the content, I'll switch it up.

Ok guys enjoy the Spartan Rage!
