Hi all, I've been challenged by a friend to beat the agressive Japanese brother using only my armies and siege machines, no creature, no miracles except water, no wonders. I'm pretty good at being Evil :devil but damn it's gonna be hard work! So any help will be appreciated, also I think he upped the difficulty by messing with the Defcon levels in the /balance files. Seeing as I watched him square off against 300 japanese in one battle :shocked
 
That sounds ilike a fun challenge. :D

Is this the last japanesse land, I've just started it again a while ago.
 
i beat that level before my massing them with huge armies like 400 soldiers maybe more and i did use my creature to break down the gate but u can use siege weapons but im not really a good strategist so all i did was just mass them constantly till they were all DEAD!!!!!!!!!! Mu ha ha ha ha :devil
 
A pair of siege weapons is much faster than using your creature against a wall anyways.

There's couple of things I've learnt which might you might of discovered your self.

Link a platoon of infantry to a platoon of archers, not the other way around. The archers have greater range and the infantry will respond when the archers sense the enemy and attack them sooner. Then to protect the archers against any which get past the infatry platoon. I keep a small unlinked infatry platoon near the archers.

When attacking a city use your siege weapons or creature to damage the opponents armouries. This way he can't make new troops.
 
I got pwnt :( really really badly, I had myself a village made up mostly of hovels with some high skyscrapers, leading all the way from my wall to the back of the island where that one Japanese village is, I had 8 storehouses to store all the food I had and 4 granaries, one for every pair of storehouses, so I figured I had enough or an infastructure to crush the Japanese,  :no I was VERY WRONG, my army of oh, one platoon of 500 swordsmen and one of 400 archers, with 4 siege engines got slaughtered by 4, count it 4 waves of approx. 550 swordsmen and 600 or so archers, plus the platoons he has on patrol duty all the time. I'm positive now that he messed with the Defcon levels or something in the /balance files. Mostly because of how in every guide I've read they stated that the AI doesn't go in for the kill, WRONG, those 4 waves I mentioned? Two were killed off by my armies, mostly because of the superior terrain they were on and my catapults, but the last two waves charges straight at my wall, busted it open with thw catapults, then swarmed in and RAPED my creature and my village.

whew, end of rant
 
He must of changed some numbers somewhere because that's over 2000 troops and I don't remember the Japanese having near that many on any of the lands. ???
 
i wish i knew how to change the numbers to make the enemy have larger armies that would be fun because i get a little bored of the enemy having weak armies.
 
HAHAHA Victory is mine :D

sorta, I made his computer crash from all the armies and such on the screen, I just set it to a panoramic view and watched the battle, boom black screen. :laugh2

it got him to change the /balance files back, seeing as they got corrupted.
