I have had lots of fun battles, many involving bridges and organ guns.
After writing what i written below in "What faction pisses you of the most" i figure i create a favorite battle thread.
I was playing this grand game as HRE. I dominate middle europe and the italian boot except for one prov where i let the pope reside in peace also the entire holy land is taken and converted. Then England and Spain attacks me and these guys are strong. But all the sudden the pope excommincates me for figthing this defensive war. On top of thing the hungarians jump on me as well. However in a grand battle i obliterated them. They attacked a hilly prov where i massed by forces in a box formation. The defence held and my counter-attack devestated their forces. I managed to kill their king and all of his heirs who also was in that battle. A hard battle indeed but one of the most fun to play.
I also had one as England battle the Almohads. I had huge parts of Europe. The Novogrods and Almhohads where making life hard for me. Now thoues two where also the ones with more victory points than me so they needed to be put down or at least i needed to conquer alot. Anyways to the battle.
I had very little defence in the attacked province and i was heavily outnumbered. It was a two bridged hilly map. I group the few troops i have around the bridges and keep the very few cavalry in reserve for counterattacks. On a hill i place my catapult and my general. As i start and see the enemy line-upp my reaction was like: :help: :end: As the battle begin i order my catapult to open fire on the enemy general (their king too). First shoot a miss and on the second the stone craches into the kings group killing him and 4 of his soldiers. HURRAY! The enemy began to break upp so i charged and won the battle. :charge:
Looking foreward to hearing you stories.
