[EB] Interesting friendly fights

**-Stormrage-** · 06-08-2011, 11:54

A Battle (Non-Tourney) A Very Tactical battle on both parts. Me (Saka) VS. Vega (Rome). A Battle Illustrating how to beat All-Cohort roman armies (without using steppe).I'D say this is the best fought battle i ever played. REPLAY HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?kenjst3l2a5ubm3

Basically: making the romans pay for not bringing cavalry by: harrasing army with cav eventually left half his army un supported by main army and more importantly my slingers were free to walk up to the sides and back of his army and start pelting ,the side was undefended since no shield which led to more casualties. watch the replay to see slingers being used to great effect.

P.S you might want to take advantage of the fast forward button Rome has to offer. and watch all over the map cuz there's action going on every where,watch the forest.

The indo iranian heavy cavalry are HORRIBLY cost inefficent, better to get Alans, Yeuzhi Early noble, Iranian Light, or Saka cataphracts.

Fun 2v2 we fought yesterday. http://www.mediafire.com/?zx41fpc94uue9pe

Me (Saba) and Stormrage (Saka) against Aga (AS) and TCV (Hai). The battle is interesting to note as in one player on each team beat his opponent rather handily but was then faced with the other across the field. Playing as Saba, I brought elephants and I think this is a good display of how to use them if your opponent brings the proper counters. Ended up with a mad finish with elephants throwing men everywhere and racking up obscene kill counts, even if it was in vain being tired out and bogged down.

Also note at the outset of the battle, a way to effectively deal with Cantabrian Circle HA.

WARNING!!! Do not try this at home !!! The evidence that against cheap tactik you canot respond in a different manner ...So against the stupid KUVANI KURAC of Gaius(AKA Voltaire) an VEGA we ( AGATHODAIMON - AS & RandomerIO - Pontos) just surround their fully cohors army with our phaalnxes and cohors by cohors have been diminished by our catas...Yeah this happened after years but you know we wil boasting with it for at least the same time

I need to watch this one, I also played Vega twice that night as Saka and I got beaten each time, the first time was steppe and the second time non steppe.

My apologies to Vega, don't mean to bully.

Some players were wondering the various ways to beat the 14-19 legionary in guard unit armies, so I just thought I would post one such method. Next time of course, I will ask for permission before posting of course.

Now now guys, that is enough, bullying is not good, and I doubt Vega is going to like you all posting replays here without permission.

Excellent example of fear tactics and proper utilisation of morale boosters, exemplifies Keltoi dominance in the infantry battlefield.

Edited the above post.

So I'm guessing the only way of sharing tactics to beat some really controversial builds if the opponent does not want you to post the replay...is to simply write about what you did. Hey, it's not too bad of a compromise. You could even draw pictures in MS Paint and share battle formation diagrams and movements!
