Very nice guide, reading this kinda reminds you that there are people who dont take all that for granted.

Also from an archers point of view:

I am playing DTV for a long time now and can tell that almost all of the times a team loses, it is because melees pick fights they cant handle.

Most of the times when a team loses it looks like this:

All the bots are stuck under a roof, they have no ranged and pose no threat if approached carefully. Logic would tell us that ranged would simply headshot them all and so clearing the wave with 0.00% risk taken. What usually happens though is that one or a few melees dont know to do anything better than charging the whole blob, die in a matter of seconds and thus lure them all to virgin at once.

So please, if you see a blob, dont mindlessly run into it. Approach very slowly until one of the bots turns towards you and then get some distance again immediately. This way you will be fighting one or maybe two at a time and not the whole blob of 10 or 20.
___

Pro Tip: Archers don't fking shoot towards teammates and explain ''i tried to help''.

Dont take this comment too seriously fellow archers, BUT make sure to only shoot into melee if you can assure not to hit a teammate, as in, if there is a train, aim at the bots that are farthest away from your mate and not the one clostest. If there is a 1 v 1 between a bot and a teammate, better dont shoot at all. Even bad players can handle a single bot and shooting in there holds a significant chance to get your teammate killed, as hitboxes are super buggy in DTV. If your mate dies in a 1 v 1, well then he most likely wasnt worth it anyway.

Thanks, will quote you in Archers, Crossbowmen category :D
Also should I copy-paste/move this to Guides? Because when I first posted this thread I didn't noticed the Guides subcategory.

Bump for the good guide. You may contact with a moderator/admin to make it move to the guides section. This thread belongs to there.

By the way, today we formad a nice shieldwall in istiniar with some people. It worked up to TINCANS! Though tincans broke it through, fairly quickly with their morningstars. I even think it would be still viable, if we could have formed a good phalanx formation (shielwall in front, leaving small gaps for polearms/twohandeds to attack). I myself used a 3 dif shield with 4 shield skill, sexies and vitezi were doable. I just had to change shields from time to time.

Hah, nice to hear this tactic still being used  :lol: last time I saw this was long time ago... And I know its mostly because very few maps are suitable for shieldwalls, but still. Nostalgic.

True, it is mostly a map-based tactic. There also need to be enough shielders to block 80% of the corridor. 5-6 shielders are enough to block the istiniar corridors, so I think it's definitely viable there. Not to mention, the wave comes at the shieldwall is weakened because of the pullers in side cabins.

By the way, great seeing this is moved to guides section. Now it doesn't need bumps to be reachable to everyone.

Finally beat the game mode the other night with a four man squad. 3 Hoplites and an Archer, was rad. Basically just pinched in on individual bots with 3 simultaneous spears, backed the train up, and turtled when it was needed. No cheesing (getting bots stuck/trapped) needed when it's low pop like that.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

True, low population allows even single players to win if they're carefull. Still, most dangerous waves then are Nomads and Rohirric due to horses and horse archers being unpredictable.
