![]() ![]() Gaul is super S tier in campaign when played by a competent player.I will always stand by what I’ve always said: Medieval II is still the best Total War game ever made. for their purpouse as archers, forresters are unmatched in this game and literally MELT everything in this game outside mass catas, but you will mever see that from AI even on max dificulty. only pharoh's bowmen are comparable, but they cost a lot more and their advantage is in armor, while forrster's advantage is in ranged damage. you shit on romans early on, and before anyone realizes, you have all the Italic peninsula, basically eliminated the only factions that can pose a challenge lategame and just spam masses of forresters (the best archers in the game in SP) supported by chosen swordsmen, all very upgraded out of the gate.Īnd no, cretans are not better, forresters shit on cretans in direct trades, not to mention nobody ever will be able to have cretans in the numbers and upgrades you get your forresters with. Gaul is the only faction in the game that can take Rome in like 5 turns. Your point is that Gaul suck in campaign, then that their archers are expensive in MP. Worst cavalry in the game, worst archers in the game (Foresters are way too overpriced for multiplayer), bad infantry, Gauls lose hard to everybody. ![]() They also get trashed by everyone else above them in the tier list.ĭ Tier are all the barbarians, all have weak cavalry which allows them to be rolled over by stronger factions, but they are pretty competitive with each other. They are strong vs Britain, Pontus, and Scythia, and can win vs Egypt, but can lose vs Numidia and Spain. Scythia has excellent archers and head hunting maidens are amazing, but they are the most fragile faction in the entire game and have no reliable way to deal with chariots. Armenia has good cav and missiles but bad infantry, they're basically a more balanced Parthia but again, infantry is less valuable. Sadly for them infantry is the least valuable unit type in 15k cwb. Rome, Carthage, Mace all have excellent infantry, decent cavalry and decent missiles. ![]() ![]() Parthia and Seleucids are the two best cavalry factions in the game, but Parthia has a critical infantry weakness and Seleucids a critical archer weakness which limits each. Personally, while they are undeniably an A-tier faction, this holds them back from achieving S-tier.Įgypt has advantage over everyone because of decent infantry, excellent cavalry and the best archers in the game.īrits and Pontus have advantage over almost everyone because of chariots, decent archers (regular+chariot archers) and solid infantry (head hurlers and chosen swords both for brits have uses). The Parthians have a gaping weakness in that respect for all that they're invincible in field battles. It's just that this is inordinate effort for totally unremarkable garrisons that you can mop up in a one-turn assault with most other factions. You can get the gates open with the help of a spy against an enemy with equally poor infantry and have your cataphracts just mow through anyone that tries to hold the gate. You can suck a relief army into attacking your army and annihilate the garrison to a man when it sallies out. You can grind the garrison down by starting a battle, have your horse archers use all their ammunition, withdraw, then repeat. You can just wait ten turns until they die of starvation. Stone walled cities become a headache when Eastern Spearmen and Hillmen, your only native recruitable infantry, can't even wheel a siege tower up to a wall without melting if it happens to be manned by halfway decent archers.
