Naked Fanatics and Screeching Women,
Hello. I am curious as to whether anyone else has ever attempted to reenact a scene from a movie on a TW game as a custom battle.
I have attempted to reenact the Roman/Germanic battle scene from the beginning of Gladiator. With unit sizes set to huge, you can fit in enough cavalry, infantry, archers, and ballistae on the Roman side to create a pretty decent reproduction. For Germania, I decided not to use any spear warbands as I saw none in the movie, and instead used axemen, peasants, and other infantry types. I have tried playing this from both sides, and as Rome, I won fairly easily. As Germania, it was much more difficult. Germanic peasants simply cannot stand against Roman infantry. My axemen fought hard, though, and I at the end I had around 150 soldiers left while Rome had left the field with close to 200.
A buddy of mine also tried to reenact a battle scene from Troy. I didn't really hear much about it, though.
Anyways, feel free to write. I would love to hear about your personal attempts. Until then,
HOLD THE LINE,
Aaron
