I have been testing quite a bit Naute vs Legionaries as I want to make a Infantry playthrough with Empire only units and I noticed Legionaries are just ass now. Naute even with worse armor just outperform and that even in battles where they are outnumbered and/or fight mixed armies against t5/t4 with archers and cav. Really was surprised by how good the Naute are compared to Legionaries or other infantry from other factions. submitted by /u/KolkanCova [link] [comments]
So hold on a moment. There is a separate formation for Horse Archers from Calvary. But there isn’t a separate formation for Spearmen and Shock Troops?
Because I would argue that you would want a separate formation for those from the usual infantry. Since Shock Troops don’t have shields it would be much easier to micromanage their approach to improve their survivability. Why can’t I have a shield wall engage the enemy and have my Shock troops follow me behind the shield wall? That would be an amazing tactic.
Then there is the spearmen. Why can’t I have a separate formation for them so I can have them set a spear brace for Calvary approaching? There is not even a command to make them brace in the first place. Which is also frustrating that would be rather useful.
This is the main reason why I will never use these units. Because of the lack of ability to properly manage them separately from other infantry units. I shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to manage a clearly different unit from another.
There should’ve been a Spearmen and Shock troop formation.
