    Default Battle of Trebia - Your best score!

    This thread is dedicated for the best score you get on Battle of Trebia so here is what you need to do, you must right these down:

    Number of Kills

    Number of Casualties

    Remaining Men

    and post em up here, its simple no? ~:p

    Its preferable to have a pic, hosting it on Photobucket or Image shack and linking it here, it just adds more credibility to your claim, If you can't or its too complicated honesty is enough.

    EDIT:DON'T FORGET DIFFICULTY MUST BE ON MEDIUM OR HARD NO EASY DIFFICULTY OR I'LL PULL OUT MY EXPLOSIVE CATAPHRACT CAMEL ON YOU!

    here is mine(Medium Difficulty):

    Here's mine, I forget the setting, but I haven't played on easy yet so its not that. And take a screenshot by hitting 'Print Screen' then alt-tabbing out and pasting it to something like MS Paint.

    Print Screen after quitting the game paste it on paint, or any other paint program like gimp or photoshop, whatever you like. save it as JPEG/JPG and load it up on either image shack or photobucket(you need to register at both) then link your image here.

    Aelwyn:your pic is pretty small i can't see it, you wouldn't mind if you got it at 1024x768 and reposting it?

    OK thanks - guess I was overthinking it.

    Results were 1413 kills, 71 losses, eventhough the romans killed 73. must have had 2 people healed.

    You beat my score, i cannot distinguish the numbers on the small screen, but zooming on it shows the romans kills are in 2 digits, so i can trust you on this!

    Aelwyn has beaten my score any challengers?

    Here it is:

    I immediately send all 4 units in the back out to kill the enemy General, Sempronius.

    His troops fought worse and routed early, my cavalry already in his back and permanent elephant terror caused lots of casualties.

    I could have done better in the end as some Velites stopped routing, I wasted Barbarian Infantry on them, but otherwise everything worked well, as you can see:

    I just wonder who counted the losses -> the Romans have 166 kills, but I have only 150 losses. Huh?

    Some men heal after the fight. 25% of my cavalry casualties healed after the fight, after already having a 10:1 kill ratio. LOL

    Default Re: Battle of Trebia - Your best score!

    On very hard I killed some 1400+ Romans and only lost 97, but I couldn't be bothered to make a screenshot, plus the Romans were hardly challenging in their position.

    I played it with that mod where the skirmishers are replaced by Sacred Band Infantry and the intro skipped, so the Romans start out before crossing the river.

    Anyways I wanted to try and see if my tactic worked, which was to move my cavalry quickly towards the ford, incase the Romans got across sooner, and have my entire army "camping" infront of the river. Suffice to say the Romans took way to long getting to the ford, and I was able to almost move my army three times from position along the river (estimated the crossingpoint wrongly), but with the last positioning one of my Sacred Band Infantry units decided to march too far and the Roman Hastati nearly were able to exploit that gap! Luckily the Romans got bogged down and I was able to send my War Elephants to their right flank and cause an immense havoc. The Romans started to route fairly quick and I send my War Elephants (not even the toughest of the two) across the river. After a little bit more fighting on the Roman side of the river my War Elephants started to run amock! LOL! Anyways you can possibly imagine what happend. The War Elephants started running through the large compact Roman army and many were slain until the last of the War Elephants was killed.

    I didn't realise how much damage my War Elephants had done until I saw the statistics and it showed that my trusty, yet not so trusty (running amock through the right army) Elephants killed some 930 Romans! Apparently I used them quite effectively in that battle!

    Ofcourse this one doesn't count. No proof, nor the same scenario as in the unmodded demo.

    This is NOT an entry into the contest but rather just to show my best score, so please do NOT include this into the contest.

    The best score I had was as Carthage, Medium difficulty:



    I was playing as Carthage with the Romans starting across the river. This was by far the best battle I played in the demo, lasting about 60 minutes, consisting of skirmishing, minor fights for the middle ground and finally an all out assualt on the Romans which caught them crossing the river, ...chased back across the river, in absolute disarray. I wish I had a replay of it.

    I highly recommend the "across the river" mod as this gives much more time to the battle and is far more interesting to play.

    If you remember me from M:TW days add me on Steam, do mention your org name.

    Anyone notice that the stat numbers don't add up correctly?

    Here is the shot that Orda Kahn posted;
    Deployed:
    C = 800
    R = 1543 - these are consistent

    Killed (so look at the oppo numbers if you get my drift):
    C = 218
    R = 1391

    So this should leave the following:
    C = 582
    R = 152

    But the stats show:
    C = 543 (missing 39)
    R = 355 (over by 203!)

    They are all off BTW. This must be a bug - as there does not appear to be a rhyme or reason to these variances.

    Here is the shot that Longasc posted;
    Deployed:
    C = 800
    R = 1543 - again, consistent

    Killed (so look at the oppo numbers if you get my drift):
    C = 166
    R = 1195

    So this should leave the following:
    C = 634
    R = 348

    But the stats show:
    C = 650 (over by 16)
    R = 520 (over by 172!)


    What gives.

    one thing to remember is some battles here would have been "continue battle" while others "end battle" it makes a difference in the kills

    60+ new units – including the mighty Indian War Elephants, Persian immortals and Indian naked female archers.
