Anyone fully cleared all these battles on both sides while being F2P, using the least amount of turns and achieved more than 150k points?
Always being outnumbered, lacking in resources and troops while enemy hordes just keep coming and spawning isn't enjoyable.

As a f2p player the only battle that I have cleared both sides was the battle of Poitiers. And was like 200k points for the franks and 290k points for the Umayyads. |

As f2p I managed to do 3 of the first 4. I remember one was very very close though, I almost lost.
The one remaining now is the huns. I did better the last time I tried so I guess if I tried it another 10 times I might do it, either with luck or slight improvements in tactics. But it takes so much time I cannot be bothered. Maybe some day.

There's stil the never ending supply of war drums that can be regained by redownloading. Which completely kills all the fun with both epic battles and campaigns.

Which completely kills all the fun with both epic battles and campaigns. there is no fun in hundred years war 1(every f2p worst nightmare, barely i finished it(in normal)) ex:battles of crecy and poiters, siege of calais, new expedition, great ride. its not fun grinding in epic battles. enemy spam. i only doing daily quest and territory. |

Always being outnumbered, lacking in resources and troops while enemy hordes just keep coming and spawning isn't enjoyable. Yes, I made this my top priority because of the valuable rewards we get on a non-grinding and daily basis. The 4 new battles are difficult, especially if we don't have a lot of medium tier mercenary units unlocked and at a decent level.
I found battle of Hastings (William more difficult) to be easier than Talas (Tang more difficult).
Scottish long spear men and vikings were key for the 4th epic battle and camel riders and archers for the third as well as ~15 war drums for each and several attempts to figure out a strategy involving unit movement, carefully choosing generals and their equipment specifically for the scenarios and learning about the events that will happen and how they are triggered.
My special guest was Timur with IBC, Mamluk, Woad raider with lv3 Rhino (and a gem of whipping among mostly lv3 yellow gems besides the woad raider +10% combo) for all 4 of them and I spent some souls to get his units to lv12 (from lv11) because I thought it's better to force these battles now and the unlocked daily rewards are worth the investment. Other generals used were the usual suspects of Alfred, Nevsky, Subutai, Narses, Cid, Bruce, Basil, Cnut, Hardrada, Justin, Theodora iirc.

203k points for Battle of Poiters as the Umayyad Caliphate is probably the easiest, given that the artifical difficulty of troop spam and a massive disparity in starting forces is the smallest here. Events in this battle:
- Winter arrives around Turn 13-14, leading to a faction-wide morale drop.
- A massive army will appear at Paris (NE of Orleans) once Toulouse falls or something related to Odo the Great happens.
I think a rapid weakening of Toulouse's walls will lead Odo to flee as well, but I don't know if this sets off a countdown for Charles Martel's arrival.
- Capturing Tours may or may not lead to the spawning of enemy troops right into the field. I found myself fighting a bitter battle against Aquitanian troops layered along the northern boundary of the map and a swarm of Frankish troops from Orleans.
- Attacking Bordeaux, Narbonne and the nearby troops will draw the attention of other garrisons. Not sure if this is scripted or triggered. This leads to a dispersal of the troops at the remaining cities.
Basically, we have to storm Narbonne and Bordeaux first. At the same time, we can position our forces to hit Tours and Autun next. Following this, we can develop a direct encirclement of Toulouse and send troops for the capture of Orleans. Saving Toulouse for last will deny Charles any chance at intervening. To capture the city quickly, I recommend making use of Justinian and Nur Din's Siege Master, Theodora's Calmness on Alfred and Alfred's Tunneling, then finish the garrison off. It's recommended to defeat Odo to allow for an easy encirclement. I also advise the use of our naval assets to deal a slightly stronger blow to enemy ground troops. Nur Din on the best caravel unit dealt serious dmg. Plus, the western fleet should consider Tours as its true target while assisting in the defence of Bordeaux as a secondary objective.
Gens used:
Alfred, Alexios I, Belisarius, El Cid, Narses, Nur Din, Justinian, Theodora and Nevsky.
Spawn in: Timur with Noble Cav, Woad Raider and Camel Archers.
Alfred, Rahman, Alexios, Timur and Theodora moved to Bordeaux while Nur Din headed for Tours.
Justinian, Belisarius, Nevsky and El Cid headed for Narbonne.
Alexios, Rahman and Theodora attacked Odo from the nearby northern tiles.
Finished at Turn 17 with no drums used. |

Okay, so I just noticed something about epic battles... I finally managed to complete Battle of Talas as Abbasid Caliphate, and only when the victory screen popped up, I noticed I failed the secondary quest. No idea what happened, I didn't even notice any targets I should protect other than the two yellow-circled gens and I am pretty sure they were still alive. I made very sure that they stay alive, since I thought the secondary quest gives you the daily reward. But anyway, I still got the 1500gold and 1 pass coin as daily rewards.
So apparently we don't even need to complete the secondary quest, only the main quest, to get daily reward, which is the main reason for most of us to even play these. It's no big deal to lose the branch line reward as long as we beat the whole battle and unlock the daily reward. There is no really a reason to go for secondary if it makes whole thing much harder.

I thought these epic battles were out of reach but it turns out they are actually easily doable… they should be renamed “war drum extravaganza”
On a more serious note, has anyone done them without war drums? Given that we can only spawn one gen, and my regular units are all maxed, it just seems impossible to me, but maybe I am doing it wrong…

Yeah same here... Were actually pretty easy with enough war drums, won he hastings one in 10 rounds as England. Just be well stocked  . Play it once or twice first without drums or reload them back and see the events and such (when and where enemy reinforcements might come, if killing enemy gen causes morale drop etc.), and then do it properly. And archer gens are very good here (especially Subutai), defending against the large troop spams as they do good counterattack damage, or breaking throug by just letting them come to you, as long as you keep them healthy. |
