      Need some advice (Counter for late game Spartans)

      By Sensei54321 · Posted

      Hi Tapothei, thanks for the advice. I tried that as the Seleucids a couple of times, using their champion cavalry melee cataphracts as support, but the Spartiates have x2.5 bonus against any cavalry and they fall like wheat. Ranged cavalry could be one of the options, but it takes a lot of micromanaging. Last time as Germans I tried melee fighters (axemen and clubmen) with their champion healers (who heal and sap enemy hp automatically) and ranged slingers right next to a castle with three times the units and still got crushed. His Spartiates were almost unharmed. It feels like there is no direct counter unit of any sort for them, while they crush cavalry and melee alike...

      I don't have much experience with multiplayers, in my case using horsearchers and just kite them since their slower, just uh... don't stop and stay far away from them. Then again their spartans, maybe use mostly champion/mercenary swordsman with helps of healers and mercenary archers/crossbow with the highest damage per attack? Since they blob, having siege throwers in the back could help soften them a bit. If you want to slow their arrival use stone walls, be ready with champions to destroy any rams, then return back to the walls. Having upgraded towers as support can help too when he's offensive.

      Need some advice (Counter for late game Spartans)

      By Sensei54321 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I recently resumed playing the new version of 0 AD and would love some help. I am playing with a friend, with ceasefire, who loves using Spartans, while I play as the newly added Germans civilization. So, the games end up as one late game battle. His army mostly consists of promoted elite melee champion Spartiates (300 hp each). I tried to counter this countless times, but the battles are always one-sided. What approach would you take against this late game army (regardless of civilization)? Any advice is truly appreciated.

      0ad 0.28 on Fedora Linux / Flatpak / Flathub

      By ShadowOfHassen · Posted

      Yeah I'd love to get it merged ASAP but the patches that were applied to the last version of 0 A.D. are broken and the build won't build. I'm not familiar with the build process so it's up for Stan and others to help when I have time. In the meantime you can use the official app image and we'll get the flatpak up to date as soon as we can.   Yeah, if you can figure out what patches need done that'll be great and I'll make sure it's tested and the information is updated.

      Thanks for mentioning Mainland-Twilight. I tried to get people to use my mod, but most ignored it for convenience.
