Easily Capturing a city

[jirisys]

Can't be modded. It's hardcoded, unfortuately.

However, I do think that this "tactic" verges on being an exploit, as it's neither realistic, and it exploits the AI's stupidity. E.g., were I the AI, I'd send some cavalry round your flanks to smack you in the bum, and then rush you with some infantry when you turn to face the cavalry. The Ai can't do that.

well, first, for that to be useful, there had to be any flanks, as you can notice, it's in a narrow road an the only way around those deadly spears is the back, where the meatgrinders await you (hastati and h. samnitici) plus some rorarii to prevent any dumb cavalry to go kill itself, then i just moved them forward, i used cavalry to push them through the spears (the enemy was in the plaza) so you were left with the only non-deadlyforyourtroops solution: escape (with all those details try to form a better strategy, and we may try brainstorming to see if it works)

P.S.: that strategy could work if you had dozens of hundreds of soldiers ready to die, which you havent (at the begining they had around 300 soldiers (4 spear, 3 peltasts, 2 cavalry)
