    Default The "What happened there?" game.


    Who can guess how the above screenshot came about? Just an idea for a game on the EB forum, whoever guesses correctly then posts their own picture and so on.

    1. AutoCalc Craziness?

    2. AI sucks at siege battles?

    3. console autowin?

    4. sometimes when I'm in a battle and I exit, it says "if you leave now, you will lose the battle" - I exit, and magically it says I won instead of losing, with the enemy suffering heavy casulties

    Never seen that happen. He probably ran around the map until he won like Bennie Hill.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    1063 + 874 doesn't equal 2083

    I'm not sure.

    Friendly fire on the part of the AI, or the AI units drowned while crossing a bridge/river ? Or they were massacred by tower archers in a siege battle... (which the computer doesn't count as anyone's kills, I believe)

    They are counted IIRC. Siege battles seems to be the case, I remember times where the computer would deploy his army before the towers, I pressed triple speed and relaxed..

    I don't know the difference though, it should be friendly fire, ballistas horribly gone wrong maybe?

    The thing with the results screens is that they never depict friendly fire. Friendly fire isn't a "kill" on the screen as that only accounts for ENEMY killed. How much of the dead come from friendly fire, and how much from the Roman general...time will tell.
