Your 20 Watt Lightbulb-actions OR The EB Hall of Shame

**Hax** · 12-23-2007, 19:20

So, there is the moment everyone's been waiting for (not really, though)

To counter the threat of the 'Post Heroic' thread by our beloved (again, not really, methinks) Maksimus, here is the Hall of Shame for everyone that plays EB.

Tell us all about your gravest, most infuriating, embarrassing defeats here!

If such a thread already exists, thou mayst poketh out myne eyen.

well, i was attacking Athenai as the Maks in a short-lived capmaign with a full stack & a FM against 5 units of rebels, and thinking i would win, i chose to auto-calc. big mistake. it was a crushing defeat and only a couple hundred of my men survived, not including my FM. i was so mad, i stopped playing the Maks and switched back to my old romani. then 1.0 came, and i went to the baktrians.....

I once took a green 16 yr old family member with unsure troops and an untested hayasdan army with only one unit of horse archers against a seleukid full stack led by the 5 star faction leader. So, honestly, I don't think many of you can beat that one, as far as bad ideas in the hall of shame goes. ;)

Never had any against the AI. I find it simply too stupid to lose to unless I purposely try to put myself in an impossible situation.

Today I sallied out, won a heroic victory against supperior troops with a 2:1 advantage but lost half my army in the process, which caused riots in the city.

That was annoying.

In my very first EB battle I decided to test out how difficult the mod would be, and so I just did what I would usually do in RTW and would result in a victory virtually everytime

so I charged my small force of green Aedui spearmen up a hill at a full stack of experienced and bloodthirsty Arveni led by a six (?) star general

o the carnage, 'twas was brutal to behold

My two worst moments both involve hitting Ctrl-D by accident when I had the stack in a city selected and ready to sally against a besieging army.

[It disbands the selected units, with no "Are you sure?" popup.]
