Introduction of the western generals in Blood of Steel
Blood of Steel is a game based on the alternative world. The famous kings and generals of the cold weapon era around the world in different period gather together in the game. Player plays the general and leads their troops to win the battle.
Today, let's see the settings of those familiar generals in the Blood of Steel.
[h2][King of Holy City - Baldwin IV][/h2]
Baldwin IV is a cavalry general of crusaders. His lance will be hold in a high speed and deals significant damage on the first enemy unit to be struck. His skill cooldown time is very short and this makes him able to hit many times in a short period of time. In combination with the conical formation and the lance abilities, the cavalry can charge back and forth against enemies and quickly destroy the formation.
King's Bodyguards, leading by Baldwin IV, composed of chosen elite knight, who fought in the battle of Mongiza and destroyed Saladin's army at one stroke. King' Bodyguards are all armed with heavy plate armour, sophisticated with lance and extremely good at charge back and forth.
Advantage: high damage of lance, ability to break the formation.
Weakness: slow attack speed, weak melee ability
[h2][Uncrowned King - Caesar]
[/h2]
Before the war, each of the ancient Roman legions would carry a spear and throw a round when they were still some distance away from the enemy, causing huge consumption. Then they would charge to start close combat. The damage caused by the spear could often give them an advantage in numbers and lead to the victory.
Similarly in the game, Caesar's spear does not strike at the same distance as a bow and arrow, but a heavy spear does more damage at a medium distance.
Another great strength of Caesar's is his "Turtle shell".
The outermost soldiers raise the shield and the central soldiers raise the shield above the head. It can defend from attack from the every side.
After approaching the enemy with a very low loss with the "Turtle shell", soldiers hide behind the shield, stab the dagger from the gap as far as possible to attack the enemy's vital points, losing a very small amount of blood in exchange for enemy serious injury or even death.
Advantage: high defense and high HP, spear can cause damage in the close range
Disadvantages: slow moving speed, low single attack
[h2][The King of Conquest - Alexander][/h2]
Alexander was a famous strategist and statesman in the ancient history of the world, as well as the first of the four greatest military commanders in the history of Europe.
He unified Greece, swept through the Middle East, conquered Egypt, captured the Persian empire, expanded the border to the Indus valley and occupied three of the four ancient civilizations in the world.
Alexander's Macedonian army is a powerful fighting force.
Formed into a phalanx, Macedonian phalanx soldiers will use the pike to attack and push away the enemy in front, which is very suitable for the defense of key terrain. Reasonable use of the phalanx to advance and adjusting the formation is able to nibble away at the opponent's army.
Advantage: after opening the pike phalanx, the frontal combat ability is very strong
Weaknesses: Macedonian Phalanx is difficult to deal with the attack from the side and the back
