I'd love to post images concerning my tactis, but...
How?
I can draw them on paper, scan them in, but then... I noticed if I click on the images, I'm referred to something called "imageshack".
:help:
In case there's a whole explanation about this is some of your FAQ's or something, I apologize for this post :oops:
do you have a pc? i mean at home... if not maybe you can do it at work.
you use microsoft powerpoint.and draw just the formation, not the tactic. ill type the tactic next to it. in my faq on the bottom you can find linked images. you can use them as example.
You need to host them somewhere. There are several sites where you can do this. The most popular are Imageshack and Photobucket. I haven't used Photobucket, but Imageshack is quite easy to use. Just follow the instructions for uploading and than copy the text for either a thumbnail or a full picture and paste it into your post (I recommend thumbnails when you also want to add text to the post: a full picture will stretch the post box beyond the limits of my monitor). The Org also has got its own hosting facilities, but they are not as easy to use and you have to wait until the staff moves the pictures to the right folder.Quote:

Grumph! *swings his sword, shows his fists* :furious3:
I'm a barbarian warlord, I only crash skulls and shout some commands to my brave warriors! :viking:
Images, drawing?! Humph! Who do you think I am? A bloody artist? You mean I have to leave the field of honor and stop crushing those petty Romanboys with their fancy Armani-uniforms?
Oh well then, I'll get to it.
*shakes his head*
Thnx for the advise guys (and for the warm welcome). :2thumbsup:
when youre a full member drob by in the frontroom. check the talk your own language thread ;)
I already checked it out. It's quite funny.
Can't wait to unleash my sophisticated dutch... Not to mention my french.
Mais bon, évidemment il faut attendre le "full membership"...
yeah...right... Barbarian :no:
Ok, I speak more then one language.
So I'm a smart Barbarian, but nevertheless a barbarian: I have a beard, red hear, I'm dirty, I stink, I have loads of hair on my chest and in my armpit, I have filthy teeth, I don't wash my clothes, at 10 ° Celsius I already start sweating...
Did I mention I stink? And I only bow for those whose smell is at least 5 times worse then mine.
And I don't use toiletpaper!
Convinced, you little clean fake-Batavian barbarian? Bah! Guess you take a shower everyday
*disgusted*
twice a day *proudly adds*
sorry guys. ive been very busy and i havent got any time to work on the Tactics Thread. ill try to get to it as fast as i can.
oh and Andres, your story was very funny :D
you speak french? Please say you're Belgian. ANother dutch is just what we need...sigh. ~;)
btw: was that stroy about aoks don't jump yours?
yeah it was, but enough off topic now. well im off to wathc BLACKBEARD
Yep, I'm Belgian.
We are the bravest of all Gauls, Mister Caesar said so himself (i.t.t. onze Nederlandse vrienden, die veeleer het predicaat "de gierigsten van alle Germanen" verdienen :laugh4: )
And the story about jumping oaks was mine idd. If one's English simply isn't good enough to compete with all those Shakespeareske stories, one is obliged to draw some attention to him with an absurd one...
damn... its destickied... of to ask why?

Ok, first time ever I use imageshack, hopefully, you'll see the picture...
This is the formation as described in my previous post about my Saxon army against the Vandals.
As I said, my bowmen decimated the Horse Archers before the rest of the Vandal army could reach my line of Levy Spears. At that time, most of the Horse Archers were history and my archers where firing their remaining missiles on the enemy infantry. The units that didn't rout, got peppered with pillae and flanked by the cavalry units. I recommend having your cavalry always "escort" your archers as long as the Horse Archers keep coming, just to keep the horse archers from coming too close to your lines.
I think in general, this tactic will work against any enemy army that contains lots of horse archers.
(Sorry for the drawing, as I said, I'm no artist)
:furious3:
Very annoying that I can't edit my posts as a Junior Member...
Forgot to mention that this tactic is perfect if you can't afford to lose many soldiers. I won 4 battles, each time against a full stack, and lost 25 men, most of them killed by my own archers :oops:
Key element is to find a piece of land on the campaign map with mountaineous terrain. And I'm not talking about a hill. I mean a serious mountain.
I think the Vandals were very foolish to attack me four times :wall: . They should have ignored my army and continued their raids on my land...
Thank god! (kisses the earth) Ah yes... Horum omnium Belgae fortisimi sunt.Quote:

30+ posts. 3+ weeks since registering. I'm still a Junior Member as well. Maybe at 10,000 posts I'll be able to edit :2thumbsup:
:wall: sorry...just a little tired of technicalities today after spending the last half hour trying to get imageshack to work (sheer garbage)
Hey GG watch your tongue, i have edit button now ;)
Andres thanx for posting, did you really meant 25 men, because that is not much to loose, on what settings do you play?
Hey I have the right to tease you once in a while. And you have the same right.
You may tease yourselve once in a while too.
Well, since it was my first campaign on BI, I played M/M, just to give it a try.
Yet another post to add to my account ... :cheerleader:
naar de stembus, ik voer een campagne.
Since I participate myself in the Writing Contest, I feel it's inappropriate to vote myself.
Sorry Stranger...
ahahhaha np, but anyways, you should... ah never mind im not going to win from principles
A belgian with principles? You certainly aren't from Flanders are you? ~;)Quote:

But I got this feeling nobody here is intrested in Belgian politics. Guess it's way too far off topic (or should I say "off forum"?) I guess.
Sorry :oops:
Won't do it again. :sorry:
For the mods that read this, could someone please tell me why this is destickied, and maybe thy care to re-sticky it again. Thanx
Well I am! (bloody french speaking community...I bet they work together with the Chinese...bloody chinese...~;))Quote:

i just discovered a new tactic while playing EB, ill post it soon
where are the mods,,?
What's your tactic?
i want it stickied first.
lol.
If this has been wrote yet or not who knows.
The best way to suvrive with dacia is head into asia minor or germany so you have something fall back on when the romans come. :2thumbsup:
Bombasticus, where are you for 12th century glory?
That RPG? I don't understand it and no one helped.
the factiob tactics are described in my first post ;)
motion to sticky... (like Electic's thread)
it was stickied but now its not... and there are no mods around... i pm one but still no answer...
You know they're to lazy to pm you.
But if you forget to type ****** instead of a word starting with an F you'll have a pm within seconds. Pff lozy moderators...~;)
Hehehe...I was just kidding divine moderators. You guys can appreciate a little joke, no? hehe.
...I'm dead.
Maybe you should try to type: will you sticky this?
But then without the ***
But I'm too scared to do it.
I know, I'm a coward.
Mithrandir : edited language
theyre just on a holiday...
i wonder why they unstickied it. it was a good thread.
they unstickied all stickies except these 4 that are left...
Mithrandir, would you please like to sticky this or otherwise tell me why it is not going to be stickied again.
Thanks in advance.
It still is, except for the spam.Quote:

So please continue with this thread and once 'finished' I'll copy it to the Colloseum. Spamming makes it harder to read so isn't constructive and will hence be deleted.
-Mithrandir
eh... the entire thread or just the spam?
and what you need is in the first post... whats important is pasted there... you dont have to read the other posts
Only the spam. So if everything is in the first post, the other ones can be deleted ?
This forum is to answer the questions of new members,show them what the Org is all about and show them what conduct is expected from them. It is not a place to increase your post count, there are some threads in the front room for that I believe.
:bow:
well yeah. the other posts can be deleted i guess.
but the reason it was moved to the entrancehall was because most people in the colloseum already knew this. and since the juniors can only post to ask questions here... we all guessed this was the right place.
check it out
Glad I stumbled upon this
Nice guide this... I don't know why I discovered this only now. Any contribution to better tactics would be very welcome to me. Great job, akeh!
Hawooh.
A shameless bump by me could have been the answer, it was dead and buried. I know! a gem like this :beam:
:O look at the amount of spelling mistakes :P
This is some ancient topic.Quote:

Legit question, not just spam or bump
Why do you only mention sassanids franks and saxons in the BI factions?
Celts are also a new faction, so are romano british ect.
Some great info there Stranger thanks very much. I use your first defensive formation offten and it works extremly well, i would recomend it to anyone who's in a tight spot.
