Thread: quite possibly the most epic defense ever

Hi everyone I am new to the community. I have been playing Eb for about 2 weeks now and i love playing the Saka (every victory is a heroic one). I didn't win this one but it was still pretty damn epic.

You are playing as Saka and you used a fort!? My advice would have been to retreat, then get mercs or reinforcements then head back and kill them. You can also attack them and then retreat. Technically you will lose but you will take out a load of their forces. Forts are usually used to hold off enemy troops until reinforcements can arrive or to block passes.

Nice shot though anyway

Omg I just saw your stats. Thats pretty impressive.

1900 kills? Blasphemy! Madness!

Seriously, how DID you do that?

its quite simple more like a glitch
basically all u do is when the enemy sieges and attack u go out (they will drop rams etc)
run around the towers and let them follow u ..

The RTW design the stats should be indicated "kills/injured". It seems wierd saying you killed 1900, but then when your enemy won the battle they can resurrect 842.

Welcome to the forums, friend. Nice victory, even in arcade mode.

1900 kills, 2 survivors and only 2 silver experience chevrons? That doesn't sound fair to me. Neither does the amount of enemy that has recovered. When your soldiers die and you win the battle, only small percentage recovers, but when AI soldiers die and AI wins the battle, at least half of their men recovers. Splendid battle anyway.

I know the likelihood of this little, but honestly, did you modify the general's bodyguard stats?

I have won two battles like this one but with two general's bodyguards. I doubt I could have emulated your results with only one unit. The enemy had about 2,500 men (large unit scale) and I had only two FMs in one battle and three in another.

BTW, can you tell us what units you fought against? If it is not a secret of course .
