Strange Greek deployment in battle!!

Unsure where to put this, so mods please put this topic in right board, if its misplaced

Im playing as Parthia at the moment, and had just defeated Pontus (strange btw, the only had Bithynia left, and 3 Eastern Infantry and they demanded 5600 denarii for ceasefire). Then I got in war with Greeks (Horse Archers VS Hoplites...slaughter) and this thing happened:

Hoplites staring at stone

Anyone else seen it?

I've seen it.
This little "rock" is actually a forest! ~D
Seriously, rocks like these are evaluated as forest terrain. You can see this when you hover your mouse over it. You can also try to put cavalry there. Won't work in my experience. It may be the german translation, but the point is that terrain pieces like this make deployment difficult.

R'as

lol, that looks like one mighty interesting stone! ~D

I think this has to do with collision detection, you'll get the same sort of effect when maneuvering around trees etc. Seems that this particular rock seems to be mis-calculating it's own size!

*Ringo*

Lovely! Can you send your absolutely/totally mad general there and give them a speech? ~D

I've sometimes seen rocks like that give a hiding in woods bonus.

Seems the Druids influenced the Greeks somehow. Anyways that's a sign to Romanize them

I've seen that too. Even amongst my own troops. Heretics.

It's actually a pile of poo : one of the Hopilites is a bit of a lad and he chose to break off a loaf right there before the battle saying something like "well this is what I think" .
Anyhow , it so turned out to be the mother of all arse biscuits , and the rest of the lads couldn't help but be amazed and deeply impressed . They are merely staring at the leavings in stunned silence in that shot , given they have never seen anyone drop a pile of off brownie even remotely that large in one squating before .

That's how realistic the attention to detail is in RTW , C/A out did its' self there !

Indeed. :bow:

So thats who that body in the corner belongs to...

What are you talking about?

They should have "smell cards" available and we could have a totally new dimension in this game..... ~;)

It was a joke comrade.


Small cards?

Well Mr Frost , I think you have outdone CA in the humor department. You should enter this one in all those funny pics competitions , the ones where you add a comment or two.
