Makedonian Battles - Competition - Download and play the Battle of the Week!

[Molinaargh]

The AI was quite skillful with cavalry, was there much scripting involved in this battle? Probably less than the first one.

If I did pay a little more attention to my archers that would have been around 100 losses less...

I'd say there was more scripting than in the first battle., but still not much.

Quoting for new page:

Description: It was the warrior Medario who thought of the best way to breach the Epeirote defence, and the Makedonians executed his plan flawlessly. But a new threat appeared on the path of the brave men: barbaroi.

Thrakians? Dacians? Getai? Who cares, they're all barbaroi. And if there is a way for a man to prove his worth, it certainly is by, on a horse, heavily armoured, to stick his long spear in a naked man's chest.

Oh yeah! Just ignore me. I autoresolve all of my campaign battles, so I'm not very good at them anyway, but I'm enjoying these

You'll probably wind up with a few ballons by the end.

[Molinaargh]

I'm very surprised at how much less people are participating in this second battle

May 30 in theory, but I don't know if I'll have the third battle done by then.

This battle was really hard..i lost my first effort, cause i have overlooked the cavalry..
My third battle wasn't so bad, i let my phalanx form a square, used the assaultinfantry as support for the phanalnxunit in the front. 751 men survive this battle.
But this wasn't enough for the first place, so i try it time and time again..at last, because of frustation, i used a special strategy, strg+a and storm, and so the barbaroi ran (ok i use my hippeis to flank..and then they ran).

bah, can't enlarge the images.

[Fluvius Camillus]

When is the new battle coming up, I need some stars

~Fluvius

[curentat]

congratulations Medario, i thought a countercharge would never work against all those elites, looks like i was wrong
i hope the new battle is comming soon

[JinandJuice]

Aah! I missed the deadline! But I'll post my results anyways.
I did learn a couple of new tactics trying to win this battle. The enemy was not attacking the flanks, so I moved up my phalanxes on the sides to cover the hoplite advance to flank, allowing them to attack the enemy's sides without the danger of being counterflanked. And I was surprised that those peltasts are so capable of holding lines too. But I did find it peculiar that the enemy infantry all swarmed toward the phalanx's middle, leaving my wings free to counter.
