Live Battle with Debug Cam - Eye in the Sky (Online Battle #82)

Hey what's up guys this is Oakley and I decided I was going to do a live commentary and you'll notice first and foremost I have debug camera on so I just released a video before this one that shows you how to get that and I haven't really ever used it for multiplayer so I decided I was going to go ahead and just see how it helps in multiplayer perspective you can see how it can help you a lot if you want to command you know a lot of units all at once stuff stuff like that so we'll see if it gives me a greater edge and a little bit more maneuverability but in any case let's start getting this uh underway it's going to be myself and my ally who is going to be playing as the Arvasi and they actually have some really good units as of the latest patch the uh Lusitani nobles have some pretty ridiculous stats uh and wow look at my calories speaking of ridiculous stats the speed on these light cav I know a Tarantin cav well still they're pretty speedy is they're going to be moving up let's uh let's just push everything and now we can kind of see what's going on from a tactical's perspective so our opponents are mostly here going to go take the woods my ally has a good calorie force so I'll let him take this position and I myself am mostly going to just scoot on over here I believe and these scout cavalry are just going to go ahead and flush them out of the woods yep I can I can tango with his calumet cav and all that stuff he won't be able to uh to catch me looks like his archers are a bit too far back anyways however they do have elephants that's something I'm gonna have to be mindful of anyways let's get this army a little bit more organized so three of my archers are going to be on the attack here I'm going to send one on this position to help cover this approach then let's send two of these sorak swordsmen in the middle to use their um the equivalent of their pilla mercenaries in the back let's send this heavy mercenary guy up here and looks like he's engaging up front so I'm gonna have to send in a lot of guys and uh actually these archers are super exposed so we're getting the best of this engagement which is excellent for us and we do have some more supporting cover that can help us out looks like they're gonna slip away and turn my archers around it looks like they're not really watching are you trying to skirmish with those guys so we're gonna actually have the advantage at this point and just absolutely unleash on this guy so we go some volleys coming in and this is just going to shred their forces as they start to skirmish we're going to close come in on them and I'm just going to flood the field with my arrows and it looks like on this front I'm just going to fall back and yep looks like I had the right thought of getting all these guys into the mix let's guard our flanks here pull these archers back and I guess we can just uh enjoy this but but keep in mind there are elephants in the background coming in this yeah our boss here doing pretty well their problem is they have I mean pretty good attack stats and all that but they have really poor armor so it's going to take my archers to try even in this fight let's move them up I don't want them giving our team too much friendly fire we can watch some of this engagement my own archer is kind of picking these guys off Ptolemaic have point blank range that's excellent that's exactly what we need to do against these heavy troops looks like they're going to start breaking too and we have a whole mix of our units here so this is just going to be picking off the scouting forces and we're taking minimal losses for this so our opponents are mostly just pushing up very slowly however oh ---- looks like we're gonna have to brace ourselves and let's get these archers yep they're going to go ahead and start shooting so this is going to be a whole mess of an engagement up in these woods uh while that's going on let's see if we can't scoot um let's see how do you do this alt I think I know it's a shift no shift huh I have to look up that uh technique how to do that later you are able to give your guys move commands uh sort of um multiple move commands I guess our opponents seem to be throwing a little bit too much at us um and just staring us down so they're attacking too piecemeal they do have some thoreau spears so let's go ahead and position ourselves in the back have these guys to start engaging with their uh javelins these archers are giving some covering fire it's mostly in the woods let's go ahead and reform this position and have these guys ready for a flank attack actually one of them is going to push up the center these two forces are going to go help with that gap and looks like we've cleaned up the woods excellent those thorax horsemen didn't even have to get any kills on that we may be able to get out of this battle with the almost negligible losses let's see yep so far I've only taken one kill so let's or one loss let's see if we can get away with that I think mostly it's going to be impossible considering I have one more group of guys running around the back and it looks like he's going to try and uh yep attack me so I'm going to tell my ally that's going on so he should come and intercept excellent so my ally seems to be performing well let's see if we can't get these guys in the woods these guys oh his archers are going to come out and play let's secure the forest here and that's where we're going to want our archers and then these two troops are going to go ahead and help on the right flank pull that back okay let's pull the center back like I always say don't take unnecessary losses so I could take this fight and keep my archers there there's no point doing that I mean I just pull back on all my other flanks and allow my own guys on the side to get my uh the shots that I need in there you go that's how you take minimal losses so he's exposing his flank just to chase after my guys and I'm going to try and get some early volleys in follow this up at the charge all up the front this here and then move an archer unit back here to support because I know his elephants are going to be coming in so there you go some initial fire damage let's see if we can't scare these guys away one of the nice things about playing with debug camera is you can get these nice cinematic shots from just really up close and you can even see what this uh type of battle might look like from underground it's a little cooler when you're in uh naval battles because you can see all the ships from under underwater and especially see them as they're sinking and going down to the bottom of the ocean uh but this does still give us some pretty cool uh cool shots wow I'm still full health so we may actually be able to take this low kill uh victory oh god so I was able to uh do decently against those guys let's turn around finish them off Tarantino took negligible losses those guys are bullet sponges continue put on the fire and now let's pull back before he gets his troops in so now now we have a chance to uh to pull this guy into a sort of can I ask trap so he's going to stand here to get their uh pillow volleys off these guys are going to chase them off and you in the back are going to be able to throw your javelin excellent he's going to be chased off while still getting some archer fire he's going to accept that battle pretty foolish I would say and let's switch targets on all fronts and bring these guys back around to strike at the rear of our opponents we do have two guys here I'm going to send them back to uh to help reinforce that and retarget that unit there move this in here get some reinforcements we are absolutely obliterating his guys in here you can see all the supporting shots I'm getting in is going to be excellent for me and this is just going to absolutely decimate his royal thorax horseman see if we can't get these guys to brace so okay my kill count is going to start uh I'm not going to be able to stand up to this with full health but I think we're going to be very cost efficient here you can see I was able to bait him into this charge into the spear wall let's go ahead and break formation just pull into that and then our own archers are actually taking a pretty heavy beating let's pull them out see if we can't see any cool animations and I'm I'm surprised they're keeping their elephants disengaged for this long I think they're going to wait till we're all tied up but that's not really going to work they do keep disengaging and here we go now we're going to be able to strike at the rear of those archers this is so far a pretty easy breeze of a battle I would say but that's fine we're just going to test out the uh the unit debug cam show you guys a bit of that and then just play a bit more of Rome 2 and hopefully I can bring some more intense battles to you in the future but this is going to be mostly for cinematics all right let's pull this in here we go and you're going to charge actually right into this blob and then we're going to go ahead and just watch this charge straight to the spear wall so the Tarantin cav actually have some pretty good stats and it's like we're going to be able to start turning this against our opponents especially with more of these allied guys just coming in and you can see in the distance I think the elephants are just starting to lumber over nope they're still just standing still so we're going to be able to oh my god actually that's a lot more egyptian troops than I thought so let's go ahead and just pull these guys up here see if we can't reinforce and oh ---- they might actually break my ally okay you have to pull everything forward this could actually be a problem I'm not super worried but mostly it's going to be an issue of uh these elephants coming in here so I'm going to try and get uh some flaming strikes off and let's see if we can land some lucky shots on his archers run those amok inside of that infantry block whoo all right here we go ha excellent looks like it works yep here we go sweet so we took out a an entire enemy unit excellent now let's switch all of our archers onto standard shot finish off those elephants yep perfect so they waited too long with these elephants and now they're going to be stuck through full of spears and even these tarentine cav are going to be able to take them out caught between two lines of infantry and he can go ahead and charge straight into this force if he wants the elephants may not even make it to the four let's see if they do oh they barely come crashing in here actually um but with all these javelins coming in they're not going to get much further than this archers point blank come on wow perfect now let's finish this off get these guys up here what i'm going to do i think is go for a cinematic finish and what we're going to do is just line up all my archers not have them fire just yet and then we're going to do concentrated volleys on individual units and then we're just going to have these guys sitting nice and pretty ready for that engagement and let's see if i didn't leave anyone out of the fight just two of these guys back here who are engaged that's fine pop that ability pop that ability now we have our archers who should we select let's throw a nice big volley into uh these royal peltas there we go pretty effective against these really heavy heavily armored guys so they they're turned against us so they're going to be doing you know holding up relatively well let's see if we can't get something better of a target actually that's going to be the best target that that's it absolutely demolished and routed so good game to my opponents uh it wasn't too much of a threat but it was a fun battle nonetheless just showing off the debug camera and i hope to bring you guys some more of these uh competitive type games and recommend what types of factions you guys would like to see this game here was just medium funds for not not super epic type stuff here but hopefully i can get you guys more of those sieges i do hear a couple votes for a siege of athens i think that would be really cool the city itself on large scale has a lot of plazas that you can play for some truly epic battles if we were to go ahead and look at my losses yeah just 93 losses not much uh and in return 402 kills so definitely a fun battle and you can see how just how well the lucetani actually performed even these veteran shield warriors did well but it's mostly the lucetine nobles who will be kicking ass in the latest patch and the egyptians are okay i mean it's mostly world peltas who always uh end up sort of covering for the army they're very strong units but i think uh they were just way too stationary with the deployment of their army i mean their archers were destroyed cretin archers those should not be going down with zero kills a piece and the elephants themselves were just a big pretty big waste of money anyways thanks so much for my opponents see you guys next time
