Re: Battlefield withdrawls
Its called playing smart... Hey, hey who almost conquered the entire Europe? Mongols (Nomads)Originally Posted by Celtic_Punk
Who pretty much wrecked the Persian empire? Scythians.. Nomads
Who will win if there is 3 units of barbarian spearmen and 3 units of Parthian horse archers? Parthians!
Re: Battlefield withdrawls
lol Mongols didnt take all of europe... a decent sized chunk of eastern europe. but that was it. You also gotta know the persian empire was done in by Alexander. Parthian thats a different story (which I do not know the end to funnilly enough)
nuff of this tho...
Nomads need to withdraw because they rely on bows and other missiles. I'd say withdrawl can lead to momentum given to the enemy. Which hurts you in the long run. Giving them a Pyhrric victory is a victory for you.

Re: Battlefield withdrawls
That's only the half of it -- disregarding the fact that nomads had their fare share of defeats throughout history.
What do you do when you want to claim nomad territory? Siege a meadow? Having no home is the simplest way to not have one's home ransacked or appropriated.

Re: Battlefield withdrawls
Knowing when to retreat and when to fight is something only great commanders can decide.
Nomads are often held for weaklings but thoose who mess with them rarely have a chance to tell about it..
Who was the first to effectively resist the Invasion of the Persian Empire (under Darius the great)? -The Scythians.
Who had defeated the romans at Carhae? - The Parthians.
Who was almost able to bring the western Roman empire to it's knees and had a great Influence on the early medieval History of Europe? - The Huns under Great King Attila.
Who had been "raiding" over all of Europe without anyone who was able to oppose them (all the way to the Iberian Peninsula) - mostly on demand of Western Kings - The Ancient Hungarians.
Who had created the greatest unified Empire the World has ever seen? - Genghis Khan
Who had conquered most of Eurasia and almost a large part of Europe (they only turned back because of inner political reasons - they were not defeated) - The Mongols.
Who were able to defeat armies wich outnumbered them 5:1 or even 10:1 - The Nomads.
Even in Rome you have good chances of defeating armies 10 times your number with Nomad armies.
I'm sure it can be done in EB aswell.
