Just something to talk about really ...
Anyone got any stories about battles lost that they think are interesting?
I had an army in Morocco, mostly made up of rubbish units to prevent rebellion. Well, a rebel stack showed up anyway - about 8 balistae and 8 units of Hashasins (sp?) At that time a had no experience with Hashasin at all, so I figured - a hybrid unit isn't likely to be too great in melee, and a stealth unit isn't likely to be too good at assults, because its hiding ability is thrown away, and a sword unit should fall before my cavalry. If not, then sheer numbers will win the day. Boy was I wrong! Bodies all over the place, and I only smashed just one Hashasin unit. I had a peasant unit charge them down a steep hill to pin them, while my one good unit, a Jinette, pelted them with javelins. But then I was out of javelins, and the others just chewed me up! :dizzy2:
Next turn I sent in a really big army and did an autocalc. :smash:
