Theré's a screen shot of the kill screen of my greatest victory. Amp had 75k florins and me only 15k. Despite being overwhelmingly outnumbered, I pulled an Alexander the Great and opened up a gigantic flank in the middle and well....

(Sorry about size, theres a limit on that site)

Lol Amp was playing on 5 computers at once eh? at 15k per army and lost to your 1 x 15k army? is that right or am i reading that wrong..... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/flirt.gif

hmm.. well i remember a recent battle fought on a hilly map. it was a 4v4. I cant rightly remember which map, but there was a nice large hill in the middle of the attackers deployment zone, and a valley in front, where the defenders setup camp on the opposte hill. I set up on the central hill and barked orders at my allies. first we took out thier far right defender in a grand flanking style, this opened up thier right flank (our left) and we too the wodded ridgline. the byzantine army of thier then moved into some woods, while our cavlry supported by swiss halbreds took the plateu behind the eenmy position. The byzantines were flushed out of the woods, and after my army advanced from its hill the remaining enmies were caught in a bad defensive position that was wide and narrow. A simple co-ordinated attack then saw them rout.

ill post the replay of this battle soon

Once long....long..... ago,

In the early days of Shogun there was this player Sharp Kosaka, he would only play on bridges in defense. Needless to say him was winning with ease, climbing up the ladder and into the top 10. He was not well liked as you may have guessed.
So I made good my plans to topple him.
The number 1 at the time was a player called Gitansan Date or something of the like, perhaps a few more i's. I set up another account in the same name missing out one of the i's. Appearing back in the chat rooms I was bombarded with requests for a fight, they all want the chance to beat number 1... or so they all thought. Sharp Koska fell hook line and sinker, I hosted the Bizen map
where you could deploy in hill at the attackers flank. Really it was all over quickly he tried an up hill attack under a shower of arrows and then finaly met a down hill charge. So guess what now beaten by an unranked player he dropped out of the top 100, hurra

Poor Sharp Koska was never again seen online....

Just one little story for ya,
