If I did pay a little more attention to my archers that would have been around 100 losses less...

I'd say there was more scripting than in the first battle., but still not much.

Description: It was the warrior Medario who thought of the best way to breach the Epeirote defence, and the Makedonians executed his plan flawlessly. But a new threat appeared on the path of the brave men: barbaroi.

Thrakians? Dacians? Getai? Who cares, they're all barbaroi. And if there is a way for a man to prove his worth, it certainly is by, on a horse, heavily armoured, to stick his long spear in a naked man's chest.

Oh yeah! Just ignore me. I autoresolve all of my campaign battles, so I'm not very good at them anyway, but I'm enjoying these :2thumbsup:

You'll probably wind up with a few ballons by the end.


:egypt:

I'm very surprised at how much less people are participating in this second battle :dizzy2:

May 30 in theory, but I don't know if I'll have the third battle done by then.

---

This battle was really hard..i lost my first effort, cause i have overlooked the cavalry..
My third battle wasn't so bad, i let my phalanx form a square, used the assaultinfantry as support for the phanalnxunit in the front. 751 men survive this battle.
But this wasn't enough for the first place, so i try it time and time again..at last, because of frustation, i used a special strategy, strg+a and storm, and so the barbaroi ran (ok i use my hippeis to flank..and then they ran).

bah, can't enlarge the images.

When is the new battle coming up, I need some stars:laugh4:

~Fluvius

congratulations Medario, i thought a countercharge would never work against all those elites, looks like i was wrong :dizzy2:
i hope the new battle is comming soon :2thumbsup:

Aah! I missed the deadline! But I'll post my results anyways.
I did learn a couple of new tactics trying to win this battle. The enemy was not attacking the flanks, so I moved up my phalanxes on the sides to cover the hoplite advance to flank, allowing them to attack the enemy's sides without the danger of being counterflanked. And I was surprised that those peltasts are so capable of holding lines too. But I did find it peculiar that the enemy infantry all swarmed toward the phalanx's middle, leaving my wings free to counter.https://img141.imageshack.us/img141/...820274648n.jpg
