The greatness of naked dudes

That is Chalkis on my Roman game. I was trying to capture it with two kretan archers, two illyrian light cavalry and one depleted unit of the mercenary naked dudes. In the town itself was the Macedonian faction leader and a hugely depleted unit of peltasts. After I laid siege to the town, the Macedonians brought one of their ships around and dropped off a huge army of ~3000 guys on the northern edge of the island. They couldn't get around to attack my guys, so they were stuck there until the faction leader sallied out. I rushed up and killed the peltasts with my cavalry, captured the gate, and rushed all of my guys to the center to kill the faction leader. Everyone routed except the naked dudes, but they all eventually regrouped down the street. I kept my cavalry in the town center and ran my archers and naked dudes into the street. The cavalry fended off everyone in the town center while the naked dudes and archers watched the street. The huge army hadn't gotten there yet, they were still outside the city.

Eventually all Macedonian cavalry rushed into the city way before anyone else and my cavalry and archers beat them while my naked dudes held the street. One of the archers routed, while the other one just stood not far behind the naked dudes. Once all of the infantry got to the streets, they were held up by 100 of the mercenary naked dudes. At this point, there was still a few stragglers in the town square, so the timer wasn't going down yet. My cavalry eventually took all the stragglers out, and the timer started. The naked dudes still had like 90 guys left. They held their position while 3000 Macedonian soldiers tried to get through the narrow street. They held out for 3 minutes, and I won the battle. The Macedonian army had no where to run to, so their army was destroyed after the battle, which basically got rid of the rest of the Macedonian resistance on the Greek peninsula.

Those naked dudes are amazing.

That is wrong on so many levels...

Hey, don't be so damn hostile towards gays. Nowadays, this sort of intolerance is what is truly wrong and is righteously frowned upon in society. Gays have every right to flaunt their identity, just like women do.

Well, at least the naked ones in the game flaunt their jewellery ;-)

Isn't winning a battle only because of the timer kind of an exploit? You should have lost that battle.

Hey common dude! If winning by time was an exploit, tell me why the hell there's a timer after you took the town center? It is totaly right and legit! and winning by time, on the battlefield as in the city is as fair play as anything else!
Unintended BM, that battle was EPIC!!!

*thought for myself* Nowaday EB players see exploit everywhere, soon, heavy infantry will become an exploit and be labelled as a cheat because it wears an armour

lol nice one! XD

[Unintended BM]

Yeah, I should have lost that battle, but this result was way cooler. Winning by taking the center isn't really an exploit, it's just unrealistic, but not much is really realistic about the battles anyway. I think it should be the same rules for sieges with reinforcements as the rules for when you are defending: If you're able to lock them out of all the gates and you're safely inside, that should be a victory, the town square shouldn't matter.

If you're able to lock them out of all the gates and you're safely inside, that should be a victory, the town square shouldn't matter.

You could've locked the gates by letting your infantry capture them all first, once inside the walls. Then you would've had plenty of time for drawing together all forces at once to kill the enemy king. Naked dudes up front and the cavalry with their AP axes from behind. I do this sometimes, leaving the relief army witlessly wandering around the town (getting shot at by the now-captured gates and towers, and the archers - unless they're needed in the town centre).

screw 300! now its the 100!

afterall, them sissy spartans didn't survive the enemy-but the gaesatae did-and won

desclaimer: I don not actually think spartans, were/are/will be sissies.

[geala]

A great victory. I would have fled instead maybe.

I should consider to use Gaesatae myself if I will be able to play again in the remote future. Till now I had them only on the enemy side and they failed miserably each time.

I must inform you guys that the Gaesatae in EB2 probably will not live up to the expectations y'all are use to. Enjoy the greatness of naked dudes whilst you still can!

Meaning they will be like the Uirodosios from EB I? With spears and only one HP?
