They are pretty similar but some are more situational then other.

Spartan Pikemen seems fit in this but their stats are worse than these 3, the only thing it has better than those 3 is 70 health compare to 60 health, and it is from tier 3 barrack.

I think it is better to compare Spartan Pikemen to Thorax Pikemen, Bronze Shield Pikemen and African Pikemen

Even though Bronze Shield Pikemen is tier 4, it is way worse than the trio so I don't include them in here

Everyone seem to love the last post so I continue with the spearmen

There are like 17 elite spearmen so I have to separate them

Also there are 3 units with javelin so I put them in a different picture

Triarii despite is not a tier 4 infantry but its stats are busted, similar to all the elite, that is why I add them in

I already did one in RomeTotalWar sub so I decide to do it in here as well.

If you guys remember the best unit series that I did a while ago, I think that I should do a comparison so everyone can check the stat easier.

I plan to use honga.net but it doesn't go smoothly as Rome 2 so I just screenshot, turn all the stats into a table and all done.

I want to add unit icon but it doesn't feel good so I keep the stats only.

If everyone like it, I will do the rest

I use honga.net, they have the tools to compare all units, then I screenshot, a bit of editing and all done.

Red means the worst stat while green means the best stat

If everyone like it, I will do the rest of all types of units

I don't add Thracian Nobles because they might be worse than the rest and I kind of forget about them.

I find out about Tsardom 3.0 by a random recommended Youtube video, then I decide to try it for like 50 turns as Rome

The map and UI is very good, the variety of units is a plus as well

Title mechanic is a fun one and garrison default in city is good

But cavalry is slow to move when being commanded, especially in siege and cavalry vs cavalry battle

AI got a lot of buffs so they field a lot of armies with only 2,3 settlements, the Ottomans has only 3 settlements and they have 4 full stacks roaming around and they recruit like 6,7 units in one turn

It is only my first campaign in this mod but overall this mod is very good, it is a 8.5/10 for me

If you like the timeline 14-16th century in the Balkans, Italy and Central Europe, this mod is for you

Macedon is a pretty hard faction if you don't know what to do, I have a small guide for you guys

Turn 1: get 3 bodyguards, recruit 2 pikemen, get all the mercs you can

Turn 2: Attack Larissa, they will like 90% sallying out to fight you on open field

You have cavalry superiority and pikemen so it will be a easy win

Here is my replay for the battle of Larissa

After taking Larissa, keep recruiting Pikemen

There are two situations right now: for the next few turns either Athens and Sparta will declare on you, or they won't

If they won't, march on Apollonia and take it quickly so you can focus on southern Greece

I will post another post on how to fight Athens and Sparta early on and control all of Greece by turn 7

My replay of that battle:

If you win this battle, Athens will be yours

Athens has everything better than you, more missile troops, more cavalry, except that they don't have pikes but they have more numbers so being outflank is possible

You have no missile troops so form a pike box is not good and you are the attacker not the defender so you have to try something to make them attack you

OGN summer 2014 opening

Good music, and the video looks cool, some of the legends are coaches or still playing now (the one with dark magic in his hand)

Maybe because I don’t play a lot of barbarian factions so I always focus on agriculture and culture wealth, what about you guys ?

The pictures below are one of my example provinces

I play tons of other total war games but only try 3K for like 60 hours, I tried a "historical" Liu Bei campaign, migrate to Jingzhou region, conquer it then march on Yi and Hanzhong provinces, declare myself emperor

Sun Quan and Cao Cao became alliance so I stuck defending Jing regions for like 30 turns before going to Yi provinces, only when I declare myself emperor that their alliance broke down

My plan is following historical route, conquer Nanman lands, then swing north to Chang'an/ Louyang then move to Cao Cao

Is my tech tree good as Liu Bei ? I focus on red for campaign movement range, replenishment rate and cataphract for Zhang Fei, and a bit on blue and yellow for reduce salary

I spent prestige points on army first, then admin then assignment last, is it a good move ?

I abuse the ambush stance a lot against Sun - Cao, it works perfectly but is this a good tactic ?

You can do the transaction from a nomad state with horse archers to an empire with discipline infantry and heavy cavalry, and playing both style has their own fun.

The nomad one is for fighting European, while the Ottomans one is for the muslim in the east
