Agreed. There it was? In campaign AI can't place 7 stacks; in custom it can be 600 praetorians vs 5000 peasants. So, no pics - keep mouth shut.Quote:
I don't believe anything without pics.
heh I left for a couple weeks and ppl r still arguing about this sill topic.:dizzy2: :laugh4: Oh and stop asking for proof! It is like one in a million to get picture proof of that kind of battle. As silly as it sounds, I kind of believe him. I tested out the battle he did, and I almost won. So don't assume you don't believe him. Test the battle for yourself.
Hi Lord_Tamerial,
I'm sorry to disagree, but I don't quite think that it is possible to emulate such a battle. The original poster fails to specify what units the enemy had, so the battle probably couldn't be reconstructed on the custom battle screen or on the campaign map. He also fails to specify what tactics he used, so they probably couldn't be emulated either.
Nevertheless, I do believe that s_tabikha's battle could probably be won. The post-Marian Roman forces generally are rather powerful, so could mow down a typical AI Gallic army, mainly comprised of Warbands and Swordsmen, moderately easily. Fused with a few clever manoeuvres, the battle could be over rather quickly.
Biggest slaughter I did was Greek Vs Gaul.
7 Gaul stacks defended a town in a custom battle. Over 30,000 Gaul died. All my Greeks died but not until they had gained the plaza and held it for three minutes. So it was a victory but I had no men left.
I dont claim thats the greatest. The 30,000 Gaul were hand picked to posed no little threat to my phalanx.
But the scale of the battle leaves me no doubt it possible to emulate the somewhat smaller battle you are debating.
The largest battle I've ever had on my computer featured 5 armies:Quote:

Totaled out at about 5200 soldiers in battle and decreased the frame-rate a good bit. -- until the numbers thinned down. :cheesy:
What kind of computer do you use to let you ramp up the unit cards to that kind of size?
From what he writed there was 5600 men. Not so much. Overclocked celeron can handle this;
And it was in custom battle, now will test...
Damn, cant! ~:angry:Quote:

It is really easy as hell...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I got tired and had to go to bed without resolving this...but it shows whats possible.
Those Gaul were all spearwarbands with gold armour and weapons.
The Greeks were a 10,000 point army. Gauls somewhere under 150,000 points for their 7 armies.
vh difficulty.
All the graphics turned right down.

The question still remains. How?
Tell the less-skilled so we can walk in your shoes (if only for a day)
Not sure if this is what he did, but with greeks (or indeed any phalanxes) you can put the archers in a square and then put the phalanges in a circle/square around them. With something like Armored Hoplites, Royal Pikemen, Pharaoh's Guard, or especially Spartans, you can hold out against almost an infinite number of enemies.Quote:

What those troops were, the difficulty settings, and upgrades and generals ratings are significant factors in just how hard the battle was. House rules like pause and camera also change the skills the player needs.
My picture was as Benandorf says..phalanx slaughtering thousands. Theres some dangerous points..like breaking into the city or loosing your general. I lost one unit of archers after a handful of casualties...they where totally phased out by the numbers of enemy. Keep the phalanx flanks secure against walls/buildings and there is low risk. Just let the tide of low quality Gaul break against your spears. A few arrows now and then. Archers out of ammo stand behind your men to increase your numbers and reduce the outnumbering morale effect.
I hope someone has some hard battles even unwinable ones they can share. Upload a save and challenge us to give them a go.?
It is always posible for anyone who has uber-proc :laugh4:Quote:

All battles fighted in vanilla are extremely easy (in all cases). I'm not a MP-beast, just simple captain :nice: . And nevertheless can won easily such battle.
Well I think about it...Quote:

no charge
you had gladiators
I did not
no I did not use the simple square manuver
what I did was perfect
hammer and anvil WHILE anvil and hammering
calvary charges at perfect moments
some of my units formations were shrinked to 2 units longin order to give a wider flanking space
and some were extened
nothing about my army was conventonal
I had no front line
my video was on youtube if anyone saw it
no the gauls were all based off of a moderatly strenghthed army in the field
Id be happy to re-enact the battle in multiplayer with anyone
the rules would be
you try and do somthing
and I own you
Oh yeah
and enough with the greek armies
SOMETIMES its ok if the enemy have enogh calvary
otherwise
square tatics are a joke
bridge and siege? please
try for 4 miltia hoplites and 1 gen 1 light cal and THEN re do my battle
I'm interested. Could you post a link to your youtube video?
Play one decent sized battle in EB and then try bragging.

haha did you not reply?
the you tube vid is called samir the greatest
flipping hell, ive never seen rtw played like that before, my hats off to you sir, i thought it was a load of boast, but the way you get the units to constantly move like that, is there some sort of mod, because the AI would never move their troops like that.
You must be like, an octpus or something.
I think against a human oppenent it would be harder, maybe. *shrugs*
ummmmmm link? Search was inconclusive :inquisitive: .Quote:
