Hello guys,
I've respecced to 2hand 2-3 weeks ago and i keep struggling in strategus battles. I'm going to describe my problems with positioning and i want to discuss pros/cons of being a 2hander, and how can i improve my game.
First of all, in strat battles i noticed that armies are always formed in a similar scheme. Shielders are on the front to absorb random damage and pikers are right behind them to stab enemies. We can visualize it with this.
At first, I have tried atacking in front of them, but i failed because before my swings reached the enemy their pikes could hit me and even if i moved forward while i was making a down-block, their shielders just could hit me with an upper swing. I died most of the time without getting a kill.
Later i decided to atack them from their behind just when two armies were so close to each other. I have waited until i saw a breaking point, then i moved their behind so i could backstab them. With this tactic i made more kills per death, but it was risky since i got backstabbed a lot.
Eventually i found another useful tactic for me. I wasnt participating the main fight but i was trying to pull some enemies to kill with the help of my teammates. We usually stayed together on the flanks and tried to pull enemies from the main fight. Once we pulled them we killed them easily because we outnumbered them. But this tactic didnt work on some battles because enemy had a dominant cavalry power.
In conclusion, i wanted to describe what kind of difficulties i encountered when i was trying to fight as a 2hand in strat battles and which tactics were useful for me. I believe that i've improved but i want your opinions and thoughts on how i can improve my game.
