On the suggestion of x-Danger in another thread here is a thread to give us a report of a particular battle you fought on multiplayer. Doesn't need a strict format just be sure to tell us the rules and the factions participating, if you want screenshots would be excellent.
Here is one of mine.
Factions
Alemanni & Western Roman Empire Rebels Vs Huns & Western Roman Empire
Rules
- Five max of each unit
- No elephants
I have a few bezerkers, achers and golden band giving me a solid infantry core. Now I was up against the Huns, so I armed myself with five mounted noble cavalry units.
The game starts off and me and my ally have a nice hill, so we play the waiting game and set up camp. Then however my ally 'has to go', so I'm stuck with the damn AI, up against two human counterparts. The AI goes charging down the hill, taking loads of onagers blasts in the process. I snuck nicely down the edge of the hill while the enemy easily took out the ais infantry, lookily however the AI Cataphracts managed to wreak a little hoavoc around the line. Then however they where about the turn on my inf, so I sent my cavalry to back up my allies cav, taking out the onagers and archers, avoiding the infantry, I didn't want a slog fest I couldn't win.
So anyway, then after a while I send my infantry and beserkers in, they tore through the WRE lines, however then the Huns, who I would have usally expected my ally to take care of, charged time after time with cavalry. I kept taking them down, but not without losing many of my own men. Then thney gathered all their troops together and sent in all the WRE/Huns had left. I lost, but it turned out only a few soldiers where left. The enemy called me 'amazing' lol, now that a huge overstatment and I'd still get slaughtered by a many, but still. Considering I was with the AI, I think I did quite well :D
