Otherwise, your archers will shoot at enemies whenever they can, which means a lot of friendly fire. I strongly advise turning the Auto-Attack option off in the controls menu. She excels in speed, hunting units and just raining hell on the enemy in huge bursts. Not enough to be a serious threat though.Ĭynane, half-sister of legendary Alexander the Great, is Total War: Arena's resident archer specialist. The rest is pretty much the same as with archers, albeit they seem a bit tougher in melee. Archers are your main food, followed by javelins. That means you should always keep to nice flat hunting grounds. Slingers: They're archers without the arch - insane range but can't shoot over obstacles.
Watch out for cavalry - if caught, your round is over. Hunt javelins and archers, switch to pikes and phalanx otherwise. Great at range on everyone except the heaviest of infantry. Watch out for pikes and don't stay in one place. Cavalry: Hit and run, steer clear of sustained combat.Whenever you see friendly cavalry, provide an Anvil. Try and prevent the enemy from reaching ranged friendlies if possible. Should stay close to allies, in case javelins appear. Infantry: Can kill anyone they catch but are vulnerable from the sides and rear.Having said that, here are some individual tips. Back up instead and wait for your chance to do serious damage. To put it simple - if your odds of winning a battle are low, don't rush into it. If he's stronger, don't face him.ĭon't be afraid to disengage and seek a better fight and always insist on playing to your strength, whatever it may be at that moment. If not, find a place where you can't be surrounded. Total War Arena lets you do the same but with Replays. They even feigned running, only to spring a trap, like Hannibal. They surrounded the enemy, despite numerical disadvantage, like Alexander. Legendary generals won but more importantly, they won with minimum casualties. Instead of killing the enemy, kill their morale and go home with your force intact. However, routing the enemy does the same with less casualties. In fact, most were considered won by the time enemy troops were being routed, a term commonly used for scattering the enemy.īrute forcing your way through enemy infantry is certainly an option in Total War, as it is in real life. Contrary to popular belief, there are very few examples of every last enemy soldier being slaughtered in a battle. Think about ancient warfare for a moment. Much more than reflexes, Total War Arena rewards clever thinking, patience and planning, not necessarily in that order. Total War is a franchise that simulates ancient warfare, the kind fought with swords and arrows.
