20 soidiers can't kill a general

[Skeletor]

This game is too realistic for me.

[JuX]

Seems realistic to me. You think peasants of that time were like martial artists? Besides it's all about game balance, not realism.

Not to mention you have romance mode on?

[Nagaterbang]

generals in heavy armor were hard too kill just like 500 knights in plate could kill 10000 light infantry.if they dont attack all at the same time being with a 1 : 20 ratio has no real
advantage

[iicycube]

Its just gameplay, in history time 1 arrow can cost your life.. Yes general is well trained but those troops is not just 1 men army which you can defeat with just bare hand..
After-all its just game.

You don't actually believe this right

Turn off the fairy tale mode and see your general and his pals perish to unit of unbreakable yellow turbans with 5 pointy sticks left......

Yeah. I was playing in the romance mode. It looked kinda weird for me. I'm a newbie total war player. At the first sight, the game looked like a solid war sim for me but I didn't like this and the soldiers were running like chickens in every game. In real life, it might be true but it isn't fun. So, I requested refund and I have started to wait a new Age of Empires game. LOL

It is a solid war sim. You just gotta enable the Records mode before starting the campaign. It's set to Romance mode by default, which makes generals strong, army smiting individuals...

Lu Bu is my pal <3 who likes some cacao

[ZWarrior]

Dude you play TABS that is nothing like a war sim

Battle of Cerami few hundred badass normans defeated 50,000 muslims. The power of the mind, advancements in weaponry, trained to fight and be talented at fighting vs not, these things can decide the outcome of battle. You put 1988 Mike Tyson in the ring vs 5 of us middle aged normies one of us probably gonna be eating through a straw. Knowing how to fight is everything in a battle when faced between life and death.

If you don't like romance mode, turn it off before starting a new campaign. Your generals will be typical generals that die easy and have bodyguards.

How do you enter realistic mode?

I did siege the enemy town, they attacked me, I did win and defeated their generals, which easily rape hundred(s) of soldiers. I had my army worn out, and they had fresh new generals. That is s-t. They replenish their army by being killed. And you do not have to bother about tactics, strategy and whatever. Generals just rape anything besides another generals. Somehow I did not feel it to be THAT bad in Warhammer...

Some tip: do not kill enemy generals if that battle will not disintegrate their army absolutely. Or you will have some fresh new army against you.

[楊玄。杨玄。LangrisserWWE]

Yeah. That is why, my tactics in game is, firstly; don't duel. Secondly; Gang Bang the AI hero one at a time first. This tactics always work. even when my army is fully exhausted, I can still win then battle with my heros against leaderless fairly healthier enemy soldiers. Its stupid but it works.

Heavily armored martial artists at that. That said sheer numbers should be able to stick you like a pig from weight alone.
