    In my Romani world conquering campaign I had several, next to a city but also on the open plain. So far only one did disappear, a decisive but easy victory near a lake, where I defeated the Aedui.

    It's always nice to see whole tracks of heroic victory's, again and again seeing my greatest heroes live on to eternity!

    Anyway, the easiest way is as Centurio describes it, besiege a city and then fight a defensive battle where you destroy the relieving army and the city garrison together.

    Good luck!

    So... aside from a good excuse to boast, do these sites have any actually advantages?
    As in... morale bonus to the troops of the winning side, etc.?
    To settle the deal between Romans and Greeks once and for all... both Italy and Greece are in deep s*** at the moment. Do you really think who had the biggest spear in antiquity makes any difference?

    That would be pretty interesting, but I don't think that is implemented in the slightest.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    It makes my game more fun. I still recall several of those heroic victories as Bactria... That song from RTR was perfect for such occasions. I was almost yelling

    I don't know the name... I'll look it up since I want to know it as well.

    EB has some amazing music but, the one from a regular victory, is the same as the heroic. RTR had 2 and it gave a sweeter taste to them.

    I think he is talking about the vanilla RTW credits song. It is called "Forever" and performed by Angela Van Dyc, wife of Jeff Van Dyck, the person behind RTW music(and MiNO too, unless I am mistaken).

    I know that song and it is not... I posted above who the composer is. I was unable to find a way to hear it over the net, though.


    this is the music mod with the song i was talking about http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=104992

    it is just called 'Win' and it was made by the RTR team and Vlad Kuryluk

    Third edit - i found a way to listen to it. I know it may sound a little over the top, but that IS the whole idea http://www.last.fm/music/Vlad+Kurylu...tory?autostart
