My Baktrian Army had to fight a horde in the mountains during the winter. Poor bastards had to do that in tunics .
Hell thats how it was for me today . Cold as hell outside and my ass had a sweater... but I was wearing shorts .

My people have to keep running around, chasing routers even when they're completely exhausted, under the hot desert sun.
My troops feel confused and disoriented when they realize that some jackass painted a big red line around them and they can't cross it for some reason....
My soldiers fought a lakeside battle and lost. They started routing into the nearby lake and all drowned instead of just going around...
:inquisitive:
Serves them right. Never run away, cowards!
:furious3:
HAHA! Nice. Words of a true cammander.Quote:

Morons.
My Spartans were defending a city wall against some crappy ankonistai and toxotai. Half of my uber warriors fell to their death because of overcrowding
Morons:trytofly:
when I ordered my 4 Imperial reformed legions to besiege the EB headquarters, and then during the camp the EB team sent out smart rabbits and all my men ran away chasing after them. :inquisitive:
See, the engine isn`t that unrealistic...Quote:

Bet they were romans??
Your lucky. For some reason, my red lines aren't showing. They're still there, they're just invisible. This can be quite a problem when using HA or another skirmishing unit. I see open field, but before I know it, I'm cornered in an invisible wall.:furious3:Quote:

My men stand in line and hold a big stick out while 80 heavily armed and armoured men charge at them on horses, I find that pretty hardcore.
Is that a reference to Trasimene?Quote:

about 300 of my roman legionaries had to fight a horde of 2000+ seleucids including phalangites, nizag gund, and median horsemen... and run after them when all the seleucids ran away...
I believe so, yes.Quote:

Having naked fanatics fighting in snow always makes me shiver. But the cold doesn't seem to have 'visible effects' on them :laugh4:
I'll save myself some awful thoughts and assume you mean they don't shiver:sweatdrop:
Well - they are drugged up to their eyeballs. That must count for something. :sweatdrop:Quote:

If anything, drugs would facilitate the 'visible effects'. Maybe that's why you don't notice it - they've already retreated as far as they'll go?Quote:

When fighting them as Romans, generally striking them from behind or causing a chain rout will result in barbaric cries of fear. Even the naked crazy boys fear the wrath of my Camillan half-time warriors :P.Quote:

5 Sweboz family members, one unit of Germanic spearmen and two Germanic light calvalry units utterly crushing an Aeudi horde that outnumbered them almost 5:1 in an all out brawl.

That won't do any visible damage but will 'take away' the extra hit point. Because the naked ones are faster than their comrades (the reason is the same what makes the winners and loser in modern Olympia or Tour de Farce) they will be the first at the line of the Hastati.
If that is the middle of a three unit line, they will be showered by 960 AP Pila. Often enough I have seen them routing withput even engaging in close combat, leaving 40 or 50 dead on the place.
