00:30Defensive Siege Scenario
00:31You can see here that I'm defending a rather large sprawling castle
00:34This castle is built on a mountaintop
00:36It has a sheer drop at the back
00:38Of course however there is a single small route
00:41Around the back of the castle
00:42Using this bridge right here
00:43And this waterfall
00:44Which we're bouncing over very deftly
00:47The castles in Shogun 2 can of course be upgraded
00:49Giving you more and more
00:51Different areas to defend
00:52And indeed different defensive structures
00:54And I've got a very high level one to defend today
00:56Now the AI will be approaching me
00:58From any number of angles
01:00About 180 degrees in front of the castle
01:01So Ingemar at this stage of the battle
01:03What's the AI going to be looking to do?
01:06Well there are a number of options though
01:08Mostly it's going to try and surprise you
01:09And kind of take advantage of your weak flanks
01:12Or conservate all its forces
01:14Weak flanks! I have no weak flanks Mr Ingemar!
01:17Well there's one on your left right there
01:20But it might not go for that
01:21It might come full force head on
01:25It's different
01:25Just enjoy it
01:26Well what I'm doing at the moment
01:28Is I'm pulling all my melee infantry
01:30Into a single
01:30What I'd like to call
01:31A powerful block unit formation
01:34Or which others may call a blob
01:36And I'm going to go ahead
01:37And defend the outfield as it were
01:39Or the very outer perimeter
01:40Of my castle with archers
01:41And keep all the melee units together
01:43So that wherever the AI comes
01:45I will hopefully be able to defend
01:48Let's hope so
01:48Let's hope so
01:49Well first off don't you doubt my abilities
01:52I'm very adept at this kind of warfare
01:55Right so I'm just manoeuvring my troops now
01:57Obviously I can't see the AI
01:58And the AI can't see how I'm deploying either
02:00So we should hopefully be able to surprise one another
02:02And again I'm just bringing all my melee troops
02:04Into a single area
02:05And I'm going to back those up with my general of course
02:07Who will give a morale bonus
02:09And various other ability bonuses
02:11To all those troops within his sphere
02:12So you think putting your troops in the front
02:14Is a good idea then?
02:15Yeah basically what I'm looking to do here
02:17Is I'm trying to have a situation whereby
02:19Wherever they come at me in the perimeter
02:21I've got like a kind of a big core of shock troops
02:24To maybe deal with them
02:25So we'll see how well my tactic works
02:29Okay so immediately I can see the AI is deployed
02:31In two different places
02:32Now are we going to see a lot of different
02:34Kind of deployment choices from the AI this time around?
02:36Yeah we'll try to do something different every time
02:38And it'll try and you know keep it fresh
02:40Okay well in honour of the crisp fresh snow
02:44We can see that we have a large contingent of
02:46Looks like melee infantry
02:47With a couple of units of bows
02:48Coming up on the right hand side as I see it
02:51And then on the left hand side
02:52We have a smaller number of units
02:55Again long range by the look of it
02:56And also some tepo units here if that's correct
02:58Maybe it's worth to mention that
03:00We don't know what's going to happen now
03:01Yeah we have no idea
03:02So what goes on next is a giant cluster of joy
03:07Okay so here we go
03:09Right now pretty soon
03:10They should be coming in range of my arrows
03:12So I'm going to bring the air archers
03:13A little further forward
03:14And I can see where they're going to
03:15Probably concentrate their attack now
03:16The archers are set to fire at will
03:19You don't want to take up the kind of positions
03:21Underneath the walls at all
03:23No and why do you say that with such a note of
03:25Are you sure you want to do this gear?
03:28As if like I'm going to bugger it up
03:30Right okay so
03:32Right now the guys are here
03:33And we are just waiting on them now
03:35To start firing on the enemy as soon as they come into range
03:39And hopefully this will just scare them off a little bit
03:40What I want to do is hold them off at range
03:43Oh it looks like they're thinking a little bit
03:45I'm going to give a bit of thought to what's happening next
03:47Yeah
03:48Okay
03:48Interesting
03:49Look at this because they're like
03:50Aha
03:50You'll actually get into my range if you come any further chaps
03:53So you're going to have to come up with a strategy here
03:54Yeah
03:55Being cautious
03:56Now on the left hand side
03:57On the left hand side however they're still moving up
03:59Which is slightly more worrying
04:00Uh oh
04:01Oh shoot
04:02And over here at the back
04:04We can see that there's a number of melee infantry
04:07Yeah the back attack
04:08Supported by the back attack
04:09Is that the official term in AI programming lingo?
04:13The back attack
04:14The back attack
04:15Right okay
04:18I'm of course led by the valiant
04:22Takeda Shinjin
04:23See they might not always come from that direction
04:25They may well not
04:26But now they have
04:27So what I want to do is
04:28I want to serve them some casualties
04:29As they kind of march uphill
04:32And see how the others are doing
04:33Right the others have held position
04:35So they're
04:36Oh no
04:36They're coming forwards
04:37Okay so they're coming forwards on the right
04:39And of course we have their sneaky back attack as well
04:42And it looks like they're moving up the hill
04:44To the left hand side too
04:45But the right is my immediate concern
04:47So I'm going to go ahead and redeploy my archers in position
04:49To do a bit more damage there
04:51I cannot let those melee infantry get to the walls
04:53So you can see what it's doing
04:54You're seeing blades first on the right hand side
04:56It's doing arrows on the left hand side
04:58And then the back attack
04:59The back attack and the blades first manoeuvre
05:02All of these of course ladies and gentlemen
05:04Technical terminology for war
05:06In the 16th century feudal period of Japan
05:08From Sun Tzu himself
05:09Sun Tzu himself said
05:10Do the back attack
05:11Okay which is not a crazy dance as it might sound
05:14Do the back attack
05:14Do do do do do do
05:16Okay right
05:17Alright it looks like I'm going to need some melee troops down there
05:19So I'm now going to send my melee units down into the throng
05:23Because it looks like the AI is probably going to pierce that little show I've got going on there
05:27The next thing for me to do is to try and put the willies into the enemy
05:31Which of course is a British slang term for scaring them
05:34Not anything sexual
05:35And I'm now going to go ahead and hit fire arrows
05:37So hopefully this will do them some morale damage
05:39As well as slowing them down a little bit
05:42Okay so my melee troops are almost there
05:44Which means it's now time for me to pull the archers back here
05:49And get them to leg it
05:51And then commit the melee troops into the combat
05:54That the AI katana troops have just breached
05:58Here we go lads
05:59Oh and they've got another sneaky unit coming around here on the right as well
06:03Okay so the AI has actually moved another unit around onto the right hand side
06:05And is climbing the wall there
06:07Flanking my melee force
06:09But not to worry
06:10Oh you cowardly buggers
06:12Okay so you can see now that both of my archery units
06:14I didn't pull them back fast enough
06:16And now they're getting pounded
06:18Right so how does the AI kind of switch from an initial to a secondary stage strategy
06:22What's it going to be looking to do in its kind of phase 2 attack
06:24Now it's breached the walls
06:25Well obviously the blades come first over the walls
06:28Because they're the best troops to engage with first
06:31In terms of morale and melee combat
06:33Secondly you can see in the middle over there
06:36They're supporting both attacks
06:39In the left and the right with its archers
06:41And then it's coming on from the back attack
06:42And it's already gained control of that area
06:46The back attack has gone horribly wrong for me here
06:48Because the AI has managed to get that area very well
06:50So I'm now going to have to pull my archers here
06:54Up to the top level of the palisade
06:56To try and defend that
06:56And abandon that front position
06:58Oh fire arrows
06:59Fire arrows
07:00Don't you worry about fire arrows
07:01We've got fire
07:02Don't worry about nothing
07:04More importantly however
07:05I want to book these stupid idiots right here in the centre
07:08Right so I'm going to pick the enemy unit that's got the weakest morale
07:11This one here with the red bar
07:12I'm going to hopefully route them by chucking them in
07:16I'm going to also grab my general
07:18If I can find him
07:19Well unfortunately I believe he's been killed
07:23Oh my general's routing
07:24Bugger
07:25And now with my general route
07:26You'll see that the vast majority of my infantry also route
07:29Having seen my general be killed by a stray arrow from the outfield
07:35The powerful magical balloons that they wear on their back
07:38Well no protection against very highly moving projectiles fired from stream bows elsewhere
07:45Apparently those balloons are historical
07:47The balloons are indeed accurate
07:49Although you do think they kind of just say hey I'm a target go for me
07:52Right so when your units route in battle in a siege defensive scenario
07:56They'll route towards the keep that's right
07:57Yeah
07:58And they'll try if they can reassemble they'll reassemble at the keep
08:00Oh this is looking bad for me
08:03We can see now that even my initial rush to get my archers to defend that wall that the AI
08:08is taking via the sneak back attack
08:10Hasn't gone very well
08:12And my archers are now getting very nastily cut to pieces in hand to hand combat
08:17Of course archers and hand to hand combat don't necessarily go together very well
08:20They are archers but they are also samurais
08:22Oh and the enemy is capturing this point
08:25Now what happens if the AI gets a hold of the gates
08:27What does that actually do?
08:28It grants them access for cavalry and other stuff like that
08:31So it's quicker to go through gates but it's harder to capture them
08:34Okay
08:34So you can see in the initial attack it went through up as many walls as it could do
08:38Look at these cowards streaming back into the centre
08:40But you still have the towers you know
08:43They do provide a defence
08:44They do provide a defence
08:46The towers provide an automatic defensive position
08:49So that if the AI is able to attack me and gain an area
08:53Then a defensive tower much like let me see if I can get one in view for our lovely people
08:57at home
08:57This one right here which I'm mousing over now
08:59Will automatically fire at any advancing enemy troops
09:02However they only have to capture this area here now highlighted
09:05And the tower will begin to fire on my own men
09:08Being used against the defenders
09:09You can see in the lower area that they are actually capturing the towers before they advance
09:13To gain as much strategic advantage as they can
09:15I'm now moving all of my forces into the centre
09:18In a final ditch scenario to attempt to control the middle
09:23Because this is obviously what the AI is going to go for next
09:26And the troops have as you can see made it to the walls
09:29And are now beginning to scale them
09:31So we are going to have some serious trouble here
09:33Now this is where you mentioned if they capture gates
09:34Then of course they don't need to scale the walls
09:36So they take a lot less casualties coming in
09:38Does the AI prioritise things like attacking and capturing gates
09:41Yes it does
09:41And things like that
09:42Definitely
09:42Okay well we can see now unfortunately that my last ditch attempt from the sneaky back attack
09:48Has indeed failed
09:50So I am now kind of recuperating and reconstructing my forces in the centre
09:55Now I wish I could explain that slightly more tactically
09:58But the truth is it was a dishonourable retreat into the middle
10:01Which I now hope to try and salvage some kind of defence from
10:04Right let's see what we've got going on here
10:06Right so the archers are still kind of on the outside walls here
10:12And the enemy melee infantry have made it up the back walls
10:15Now can the archers themselves actually scale the walls
10:17They can but there shouldn't be reason to do that until the melee troops have gained a foothold there
10:22Okay so it will prioritise getting the melee troops over the wall first
10:25Yeah I mean as a sensible player would do
10:27It looks like I'm taking some seriously big firepower here
10:30Something is literally scorching the earth in front of those guys
10:33And because I was going a nice arc
10:34You don't really have to be in the castle to do damage
10:37Like you see right there
10:38Even though you're in the centre of the keep
10:39They can keep on hurting you
10:41Yeah exactly so the AI is actually getting quite a nice lot of volleys up into the centre of the
10:46keep here
10:46Now their accuracy is not going to be great
10:48Given that they're firing uphill
10:50But still they are doing me some damage
10:51Which does prompt me to perhaps retreat behind the keep itself
10:55Literally
10:56No I'm not a coward
10:57I'm a tactical mastermind
10:59This is not cowardice my friend
11:01This is leadership personified
11:02Dishonourable
11:03Dishonourable my buttock
11:05Right okay
11:06My singular buttock
11:07I don't even give prevalence of two
11:09Okay
11:10So you can see here now we have these chaps coming into the centre
11:14Now I'm literally going to be defending to the last in the middle here
11:18The tattered remnants of my unit's flags
11:21Unfortunately exhibit the fact that I've been butchered
11:24So it's in no hurry at all
11:26It's just grabbing those towers
11:27Grabbing those gates
11:28It doesn't want to take any casualties as it moves I assume
11:30So it's grabbed the towers now
11:32Which means if I come anywhere near it
11:33The towers are going to get destroyed
11:35Oh god
11:37Look at those flashing white banners
11:38This is not a good sign
11:39Okay
11:40Right next thing to do then
11:41Is to valiantly defend
11:43This one side that we have remaining
11:46And you can see there that the AI is sending up some of its troops
11:50And we're going to send in everything we have on that flank
11:55Naginata in
11:57Bo Ashigaru in
11:59Now of course Ashigaru in close combat
12:04Is generally a very very poor tactical decision
12:07Yes but as they are in the central keep now
12:10They will fight to the last man because
12:12This is their last stand
12:14There is no way out
12:15Aside from over the side of the mountain and into the waterfall
12:18Or on the top of a katana sword
12:20There is nowhere else indeed yes
12:22Go home on top of a sword
12:25Well listen AI
12:26Strike me down now
12:27I should become more powerful than you can ever imagine
12:30Unfortunately I shan't become more powerful
12:32I'll just lose this region on the campaign map
12:36Okay so
12:37Right let's get the AI
12:39On the back foot a little if I can
12:40By firing at him with some arrows
12:42You can see here we've got the
12:44The arrows going in
12:45And again I'm going to switch to fire arrows
12:47Which of course are a special ability on a cooldown timer
12:49And have those hopefully
12:51There we go
12:51We've started to route the one AI unit coming in on the left
12:53So I can at least score a minor victory there
12:56By a good use of the
12:58Bo Ashigaru
13:00Now let's have them fire on to these chaps here
13:02Who don't yet own the gate
13:04Oh bugger
13:05The first of the melee infantry from the other AI chargers
13:07Made it into the centre
13:09And they're now scaling all of these walls
13:11And here they come
13:12Ready to capture the middle
13:13The time is right
13:14The time is not right
13:15The time is wrong
13:16Okay hang on
13:18The time
13:19According to getting my buttocks kicked
13:22Right
13:23Okay
13:24The AI melee infantry on the left
13:25Is now not much more of a threat
13:27However this large force moving in on the right is
13:30I still need to keep what remains of my army behind the keep
13:33To stop them getting pounded by all those archers out the front
13:35Which are in a very handy position
13:37But there is nothing remaining to do
13:39Aside from
13:42Stick everybody in melee mode
13:43And throw them in
13:44This is what we call the last ditch
13:48Here we go lads
13:50Look at these
13:51How swift thy sword
13:53Peasant
13:56Cut to pieces
13:57My peasant Ashigaru here
13:59Being destroyed by enemy Nodachi samurai
14:03A Nodachi for those who are not in the know
14:05Nodachi no doubt
14:06Is of course a two handed large almost broad sword style weapon
14:10Not a katana
14:12But somewhat similar
14:13And unfortunately of course the samurai outclass my own lowly Ashigaru units
14:17Meaning the likelihood of them winning this close hand to hand engagement
14:21Is very small
14:22So does the AI take much notice of the kind of rock paper scissors relationship
14:26Between units in this kind of encounter
14:27Or does it just use whatever it's got to hand
14:29I mean obviously it tries to
14:31But in a large castle like this
14:33It's got you know
14:35It is the most sensible
14:36All through the neck
14:37Stabby in the face
14:38We will try and prioritize forces into it
14:41And then do the best magic it can
14:44Obviously it wouldn't be a good idea to put the Archer first
14:46No of course
14:48Oh
14:49Beautiful
14:51Terrible stabbing
14:52Oh and now we've got the timer up
14:53This means that the AI are beginning to capture the keep
14:56You can see there the giant warning flag for me
14:58So it's holding you off on one end
14:59It's holding my forces
15:01Pilling them down
15:02And then sending its infantry into the centre
15:04To actually raise its own flag
15:05Down comes my beautiful Takeda banner
15:08And up goes the terrible horrible sight of a Hojo flag in the middle
15:12You're not even going to live to see defeat
15:14Hey excuse me
15:15Okay at least one man will drag his bloodied corpse
15:17To see their flag go up over my castle
15:20Oh god
15:21It's going wrong for me
15:2327 seconds
15:24And the AI's utterly ruined me
15:27I didn't even get to last the 27 seconds
15:29Didn't even need his cavalry
15:30Well there you go ladies and gentlemen
15:32Of course you know
15:33I intentionally showed you a defeat in this instance
15:35Otherwise I would definitely have embarrassed Ingemar
15:38And his good manners and AI techniques
15:40But thank you all for joining us on this Shogun 2 Battle Report
15:44And thank you Ingemar
15:45Thank you
16:03Thank you
