So, I end up loading into a fight after reading the Auto Resolve where it says that the battle location takes place in the "Plains" as well as looking visually at where im located on the map with not a single tree in sight around me, and then i get a marsh surrounded by trees. Begs another question, if I would have auto resolved, would it have auto'd on that map I loaded into or would it have auto'd with a Plains modifier to cavalry/horse archer troops? submitted by /u/tjburke93123 [link] [comments]
Everyone's favourite foreworks. What are your stories, experiences, tips on this often neglected piece of artillery?
Personally, I think its potential is not truly recognised and that if properly used it can be highly effective. My quick guide for using rockets in commander battles:
Rockets can't be used like a cannon; they're only effevtive up close, so you have to stay with the infantry. Make sure there is an infantry regiment diagonally in front of you to draw enemy fire away from you. Stay mobile: Be ready to pack up and reposition as soon as the tide of battle sways either way. Use the high rate of fire to your advantage. Try to find cover: Is there a rock or tree to set up shop behind? Perfect! For some reason, you only get a handful of rocketeers, no idea why cannons and howitzers get a whole bunch of guys with guns, but rockets only a few (albeit impeccably dressed) swordsmen. So, make sure they're well out of the enemy's firing line, if necessary behind an infantry regiment - use those meat shields.
Lastly, rockets aren't a substitute for guns; I only choose rockets in large battles when there already is some artillery. They're also best in prolonged infantry engagements when you get time to manoeuvre.
I would love to see more rockets on the battlefield in commander battles - enjoy the foreworks!
