Actually.. I almost won the battle the next time I fought it.. it was after I posted the save..
If those mamluks weren't there then I would've won.. I managed to rout those Nubians and kill the archers but after that I didn't had enough men to finish the mamluks..
I'm talking about the second time I tried that battle of course..

I just thought that reloading the save,after Efstathios died, is bad bad bad and I didn't do it..

I know it's easy to "monday morning battle report" this but why didn't you retreat?

Because the bodyguard unit was stuck in those archers and then those nubians came and the bodyguards just could move.. And then the Mamluks came..
At least I saved the Skythikons by ordering them to retreat

Sorry to hear about Efstathios. The crusade wasn't kind to the Asteri...

The Jedi BG are a fickle beast. They can be completely awesome one minute and swamped by spear militia the next. I started an SP Byzantine campaign a while ago and decided to start with a blitz ala LotR. End result: 2 out of 5 generals dead in AI sallies.

Where's Broken Crescent when you need it? The GBs in that are indestructable killing machines. They reduced the size of units to compensate, but an army of generals will wipe out any stack that comes near it, hands down.



Who needs one god when you can have 200 of them charging over the battlefield for you?

The Code of Conduct has been posted and it goes into effect immediately and in some cases retroactively.

[woad&fangs]

stupid question, but how do you upload a file on the .Org? I know I've done it before but I can't remember now.

Unless you're the Rajputs, in which case the awe inpsiring armored elephant that carries your general just happens to have 1 HP and die at the slightest touch.

Actually only some of the generals are high HP slaugher machines in BC, some of them are weaker than the SS ones.

[deguerra]

sigh. my ship is more akin to a swiss cheese these days.

[OverKnight]

Tough break, I hope you decide to play again.

Maybe when you come back we'll have cannons, . God I loved having cannons.

[Privateerkev]

You didn't seem to love the elephants having cannons...

[OverKnight]

Yes, but I had my own cannons. When you make Elephants run amok at range, they have nothing to trample but their own army.

[Privateerkev]

Very true...

Thats why I try to get cannon towers by the time the Timurids show up.

[pevergreen]

Just a note, I may not be functiong rationally for a while. Lets see if I can keep myself under control.

Coming close to stopping play. Hope I dont.

I've just seen I never posted the battle report for Belgrade, so many yeras ago bacause I waited on TLG to give his permission to use Neokaisareitis in the report..

Now he is gone, the report is up for those who want to check...
