KA-BOOOOOOOOM!!!

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Sometimes I make custom battles, with me as the defender, with an army composed completely of high valour artillery pieces. I then proceed to give the opposition a bunch of peasants, and then LAUGH MANIACALLY AS THEY FALL UNDER MY GUNS MWAHAHAHAHA

Um...

Does anyone else do this?

I have done that many times. I also like getting one or 2 units of heavy infantry all beefed up going against abunch of peasents. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I love to spend 99999 florins on pavis arbs and only give the enemy 1 unit of pavis arbs with not valour, weapons or armour

Then I advance my pavs in double-line formation untill there all in range then I let rip. 1 volly gets em all http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-wall.gif

Personally, one crack unit of heavy knights - lancers or whatever... against as many peasants as my computer can take... lets see, 16x...7? is 112... 112x100? is... 11200 peasants for my 40 horseriding nutters

Fun.

Except that they all run away. And my computer has the equivilent of a heart attack.

And I lost three men. That was bad.

I like the full artillery idea. Napoleonic lawn bowling . . .

Yep, it's best with NTW. 16 batteries of 5 12 pounder guns=veritable CLOUD of cannonballs...Try it with rockets as well...that's also a good laugh.

The best butchery game I have made in Custom battle just for fun was peasants battle.
I was defender - and I had 11x pees and 5 high valour organs against 16 x v4 pees.
Organ's damage was fantstic:) One salvo and 40 peasants dead. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif

I have not yet tried that with Gunpowder (or in Custom battles anyway).

But I have faced off against Peasant Hordes during a couple of Early Byzantine Campaigns... Those Egyptians really never learn

Suddenly my Ultra-Byz Heir Generals had lots of Skilled Last Stand and Skilled Risky Attacks appearing in their V&V Lists.

LOOOOOOOOL

[PseRamesses]

It doesn´t take a customized game to experince the rush of slaughter. I once butchered over 18.000 mongols with my Russian Hal´s hidden in the scattered woods of Khazar. Or the time when that loonish sultan of Egypt send over 4.000 peasants and some 600 other troops to try and take Syria from me. My 16 companies of cavalry formed a single line and just charged en masse. 4.200 slaughtered and runned down foes and zero casualities.
With pain I remember one of my first games the Turks whipped me, on the other hand, with the same kind of cav-rush. I had no defence for that at the time and was completely destroyed. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-stunned.gif

Max enemy units is:

16(units) * 7(armies) * 200(men) = 22400 men

I've tried it. Very slow.

In fact, here is a link to a report I made on this battle:

Most frustating defeat... (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=15;t=14500;hl=most+&39and&39+frustating+&39and&39+defeat)

I tried that some time ago. Using organ guns on enemy organisms is fun really. Especially when you set it to follow the projectiles. LOL http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I just tried the whole multi-cannon experience. On a bridge map for the extra carnage involved. The peasants had to wade through bodies to get to the bridge, which was piled high with more bodies. Once they got there, they finally got a close look at my artillery. Before getting blown back from whence they came. Average number of kills per unit was ~600.

Nasty stuff

I have not only done that, but i have done a seige with 4 groups of billmen and the rest arty. I tore down the entire highest level castle, the keep, the towers, the walls...everything. Whenever they attacked they got torn to shreds by the arty before by billmen could do squat.

Many times during that custom battle i knocked over a tower when a unit was below. It would have been cool if that worked, cause by the looks of it i would have killed 30 or 40 of the unit hehe.
