These are the best moments when it comes to bringing artillery in Total War: Arena
Let's go 5-4-3.
Yeah, 5-4-3, that works.
5-4-3?
Yeah.
It's not a really good place for my artillery.
I'm gonna put myself at 2 just so I'm closer to the action.
Okay.
Good luck, have fun.
He's booby trapping our entire base.
How do you booby trap your base?
You need to have deployables that comes with artillery.
Oh.
Yeah, I wrecked one of my own units last night on our own stakes.
Yeah, dude, stakes are tricky.
If you're not looking, even infantry can run over them and you lose a whole infantry unit.
It's crazy.
Is this Thermopylae?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, you can zoom out a bit.
Not a lot, but you can zoom out.
Are we going to the hot gates?
No, I wouldn't.
I guess just maybe have someone protect behind us, make sure they don't come up behind us.
I'm going to have artillery position up here.
I finally figured out how to have manual targeting, and boy, is that effective.
We actually need to spread out a bit because they're going to have artillery probably in the center
and then we're just going to get pooped on if they hit us.
Hey, you want to see me blind shot?
What's blind shot?
It's just where you can target the ground.
Yellow.
There we go.
I'm just kind of guessing where they're at.
All right, let's see if this hits anything.
Come on, come on.
Nope.
That's a good idea.
Nope.
Oh, they were barely there.
Are you in range?
Holy ----, this is going to be monstrous.
All right, I'm equipping fire.
Jesus Christ.
I don't really want to be in the center now anymore.
No, no, no, no, don't go in the center.
It's a ******* shooting gallery.
Let's go in the forest, Andy.
Oh!
Oh, your artillery is so strong.
All right, yeah, I'll go to the right.
Dude, this is ******* disgusting.
Oh, that was not the best shot your artillery has ever done.
Is that forest?
Yeah, I'm going to blind shot into the forest.
Yeah, you know where they are.
Pretty much.
We'll see.
Oh, they hit the cliff.
God, this is just a ******* absolute massacre.
Jesus Christ.
If they push the hot gates, we're going to be in trouble.
We got a couple guys scouting the hot gates.
Radness is so useless right now.
He's just getting rekt.
All right.
No, they're pushing in the center.
Oh, that guy is Toxotai.
I don't think I can deal with those guys.
I'm about to hit this big guy.
Yeah, push around, push around, and then we can maybe do something.
I hope he doesn't move.
I want to hit him with a big...
Oh my...
Jesus Christ.
Oh my God.
He was so grouped up.
So bad.
That guy is dead.
I need to start using artillery.
Dude, you need to tech up to artillery.
Christ.
Oh, crap.
Oh, Jesus.
That archer guy is getting rekt.
The artillery.
Oh, they're doing a big push on this side.
I'm not going to be able to hold them back for too long.
They're coming ******* straight for my artillery.
My alarm went off.
Holy crap.
Oh.
I ain't coming back.
All right, Indy.
Step up to the plate.
Are they going to shoot anytime soon or...
Nope.
It's not.
Heavy stones.
Shit.
Yeah.
I moved up to use flaming shot and then...
Oh, that's why.
Fire.
How are they still hitting me?
Look at how far away they are.
Oh, dude.
I kind of feel bad for these guys.
How am I still getting shot?
I have no idea what's shooting me.
The archer is in the middle?
All right, Indy.
I've weakened these guys enough that you should be able to take them on.
Yeah, shoot the archer.
Shoot the archer, Blob.
That's more important.
What am I doing?
You're going down.
Oh, Indy.
Indy.
What?
I'm shooting.
What?
They're going to charge me.
They're going to try to kill the slinger.
****, dude.
They're getting my artillery.
Damn.
Come on.
One last.
Yes.
We had nothing back in our base to get these guys.
Well, I have archers coming.
I just need to kill this unit first.
I think I may have done all the damage I can do.
Oh, they do have traps.
Yeah, we have stakes all over the place.
Italian swordsmen.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, thank you, Indy.
I'm coming to save you.
Run.
I'm going to shoot them with my slinger.
I've been chasing this guy.
Oh, come on, archers.
What are you doing?
Run, Indy.
Run.
Just keep kiting him.
Oh, God.
They're coming back.
They're coming back over here.
Who's coming back?
There's another group of guys over here.
I don't think I've lost one man.
Here, Duke.
Duke, you've got to save me.
Oh, good.
Incoming.
Try and shoot them point-blank.
This will be fun.
We're winning.
Thank you.
Indy, no friendly fire.
Okay, sweet.
That's not me.
That's Duke.
Oh, right.
Excellent.
Picked up all my artillery pieces.
This is awesome.
We survived that.
No one went to the hotkits.
They tried.
Oh, no.
You're right.
They didn't.
That would have been a dirty flank on us, actually.
I'm going to start pushing artillery.
I don't think we'll be able to crack their base with what we have right now.
I'm going to leave.
Do we have anything?
Yeah, I need to leave something at home.
I'll just leave this archer behind.
And I'm going to move through the forest because I think they have something hiding there.
Or I wouldn't be surprised.
Do you want me to scout the outline?
Okay, they still have 811 guys.
They have an army somewhere.
I know.
Yeah, this is actually close.
We're not winning by that much.
You're right.
We do have their base all freaked out.
Yeah, Indy, just hold the sides, I guess.
Maybe it's what they have left up on top.
I don't know.
No, there's nothing left up top that I can see.
There's just the hoplites that Vash is shooting.
There are archers in the center, in their base.
Ah, yeah, I see.
We do have some guys in their base, though.
Oh, I just ran through stakes. Great, sweet.
Nice.
I don't think they're in the forest.
I'm going to rig those javelins, man.
Yeah, they're just defending their base at this point.
Shooting me.
Flanking death.
Okay, well, RetroChicken didn't do us a service, but he just gave them a bunch of kills.
Okay, this is bad.
We're actually about to start losing.
Oh, there we go, now I can see his artillery.
Do you have artillery?
Yeah, I'm moving up.
I'm going to try and target him.
We're getting wrecked right now.
We're actually losing because of this attack.
No, hold back, hold back.
Once we can neutralize his artillery, we'll be fine.
I tried to shoot it.
It should die easily.
Am I shooting?
Yes.
Oh, alright.
Wow, nice shot there.
Did it hit? I wasn't watching.
Yeah, it was hit.
Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, here comes another volley. This is going to be beautiful.
Hey-o!
Hello!
I'm like, juicing all his artillery.
Did someone get that artillery piece from Cabbage?
Yep.
Right behind the cliff.
Where?
Can you ping it?
I don't know how to ping.
Bottom right, the little arrow with the epicenter.
It's right there.
Oh, okay, yeah, there's shots coming in for that.
Oh, ----.
Oh, come on, they all missed.
Right?
I don't remember where it is.
Alright, shots coming in.
I think this should hit him.
I believe. Come on!
Yeah, that's where it was.
Alright, sweet.
Dude, did you just run into their base by yourself?
Yeah.
I wanted to capture the tower.
I love artillery!
I love it!
Uh, there's a huge blob.
Right there.
If you can keep hitting that, that'd be awesome.
Okay.
They're a little out of range, but I should be able to hit it.
Come on.
Come on, artillery.
There we go.
Firing.
Please don't move.
Hold right there.
Yeah, you guys gotta get artillery, then we can roll.
Nine artillery deep.
Alright.
None of them have their watchtowers, so I don't know who to shoot at.
He is still shooting me.
What is up with that range?
That's why I tried to capture the tower.
I think that, yeah.
Oh, we got rid of all their artillery, honestly.
So, oh, okay.
Sweet.
They're in by this tower, and let's give them a little surprise.
Oh, there are archers above me.
Okay.
I'm gonna shoot right at this tower, because I know they're there.
Oh, they're repositioning.
Oh, well.
Do you guys know where they're at in their base?
Yeah, there's something up here.
They're not all in their base.
Okay, there we go.
Oh, I see them.
No, don't shoot me.
Oh, hello.
Oh, nice.
We're gonna have so many kills this game.
I know.
Ah, thank you for the vision.
Yeah, hopefully you have 3,500 points.
Now it goes to 4,200 somehow.
I don't know how.
He's been cleaning up.
Yeah, they're just like, I've done nothing.
Because I'm actually useless at this game.
Just slingers, man.
No question.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry, Puff.
Give them a volley.
God, artillery is brutal if you keep it to the late game.
Like, honestly.
Alright, where is this unit?
Here comes another volley.
Hello.
Why do I feel like we're gonna lose again?
I hope they don't sneak something into our base, honestly.
Like, if they're doing a long con, I don't hate them so much.
Yeah, you're right.
Oh, 10 seconds?
I'm gonna shoot just right into this mess.
Nah, it's over.
Dang it.
Not bad.
Sweet.
That was awesome.
Wait, which part of the...
Oh, no, never mind.
Well, what kind of artillery are you using right now?
Just the small one.
The Lithobolos?
They're like the first one you unlock.
Yeah.
What do I have?
484 kills.
What the hell?
Where's the points at?
Oh, yeah.
Duke, doing work.
Yeah.
------- slingers, man.
Crazy.
That was awesome.
I did it.
I had...
How many kills?
150 core kills.
Again, pretty useless.
GG, well played.
