The "What happened there?" game.

Ιt's a siege battle which involved the AI stupidly marching his troops along walls. Possibly extremely low-tier units (apeleutheroi???) cut down in droves by Cnaeus Cornelius Scipio Asina who at some point slew the enemy general (Hamalcar). After that the Carthaginians fled the battlefield rescuing a large part of their army...

Some correct, most wrong.

Mass routing at the walls after some died, and the general pursued the soldiers

single Eqvites Consvlares unit guarding a city with large wall against tons of Carthaginian hordes, when they try to scale with siege tower, some tower was broken (explain the "missing" numbers). After that, they try to run one by one toward the down side of the wall, and the Eqvites got easy time picking them one by one....

Right?

And time up.... you win average victory... it was all just pretty 45 minutes, you could sit back and relax with triple speed

I always play without a time limit.

Why the hell is it an avarage victory? It should be heroic by any standards

**Duguntz** · 03-16-2010, 17:35

they've been killed by your towers during a siege, as the AI is intelligent ehough to sit at the feet of your walls and get killed... and while they go away, you sally forth with your cav, just to attract them once more to your towers, and they get decimated... is that it?

There is one vital element everybody is missing, which is the reason I was able to kill so many, and why the enemy dead numbers don't add up. My AAR (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...c-A-Romani-AAR) should give you a clue where the battle took place, think of the make up of the enemy army.

Shameless plug for my AAR!
