This is probably old hat to you salt dogs out there; but I thought it was pretty motivating for fans of the Romaioi

Ugh. Not only is "Legion Strong" an oxymoron, that movie is just reeking of lies and propaganda...

Wait, did it actually list the strength to get over yourself as one of the definitions of "Legion Strong"?

HEHE DO IT! i wanna see that actually, who knows this conversation may start a chain of vids like that from different faction fans...Pontus Strong Getai Strong AS Strong hahaa

Please watch your language!

Yes careful, don wanna hear complaints from mods, and as i mentioned the last time someone swore, I dont care how old everyone playing this is, but there may always be young'ns.

Also due to the fact i have class for 4 hours today, ill be taking the save at 15:30 PACIFIC so you guys can keep the game going and what not. Otherwise it wont be till 2morrow. Plus i think im the only move, the battle that is.

Nice to see this has really taken off guys, must admit I had my doubts it would work. Wish Steam made it easier to have more that one copy of RTW running...

When you actually read what the legionarys were able to do (An example :Caesars gallic legions could force march themselves 50 miles with over 60lb of equipment and still construct a fortified camp at the end of the day) they can be compared more to the special forces of the U.S army then just regular army. They were some tough motherfuckers.

Yes, you're absolutely right. Especially if you consider that they were only 160 cm on the average! They still would beat up US or anyone elses Speacial Forces' arses if equipped equally ^^

I really have to stop going to bed. Everytime I wake up and go on here the worlds flipped upside down. Sorry for your loss Everyone, if thats even possible seeing as it was your own death .
I'll have to put aside my school work to do some stories I think.

Oh, and Il_Duce, I believe it was Legatus Cotta that pulled Asina's body away from the fighting, thank you very much

[everyone]

actually, somehow the loss of Asina made me kept swearing and yelling at every random thing I saw for the past hour (fortunately I was at home), until I decided to play out the battle again to relieve my anger to see another result, this time with some objectives in mind:
1) immediately pull generals whose bodyguard are less than 5 men out of combat
2) combine both Legio I and II for the assault
3) do not let either army be controlled by the AI
4) start the battle as navarro did so from the campaign map (fight using Legio II, and Legio I as reinforcements)

and here is the result:



Conan died very early in the battle, as I was rushing through the broken gate. as usual, I made the cavalry go through a breach in the wall. since the infantry force was getting cut up very quickly on all sides (yes, on all three sides); I made the cavalry charge into a Gaeroas from its behind, causing it to rout; and since Conan was dead by then, the other units (many of them, around 3 ligurian infantry+brihentin+2 gaeroas+a few botroas+1 liguriae epos) routed in the massive charge; and the only other difficult part was the gaesatae which I managed to kill quickly by making the accensi move a large round around the settlement to the gaesatae's back, and pelt the gaesatae while they are engaged in melee.

if you want, here is the save (though I don't think I'm authorised to do so, I badly want to play as asina again ) :

As much as that might be nice, I think it would set a bad precedent. One of the cool things about these games is the roll of the dice every time you send your character into battle. It would take a lot of fun out of this if we started doing re-does. Sorry man.

Hey man, you control the army. Gotta give the little guy some glory.

Wait.. it's unclear to me who fought the battle. If it was navarro then it's against the rules since he should have send the save to everyone. Or am I missing something??

Under no circumstances will a battle be fought by a player whose avatar is not present in the battle.
If there is no player available to fight a battle, it must be auto-resolved.
If there are no allocated avatars involved in the battle at all, it must be auto-resolved.
