I am currently fooling around with egypt.
I am not playing very "seriously", I am just sailing around the mediterran sea, conquering coastal cities and pissing off any superpower I can find.
So far I have just conquered southern greece and let the macedons bleed at my walls.
However, the second attack came immedeately after the first, so I couldn`t repair my walls.
So my tired men have to hold the breach - at all costs.
My cretan archers were placed to oversee the route to the breach, slingers and scirmishers on the walls beside the breach, ready to let death rain from above. I was accepting friendly fire casualities.
My spearmen filled the gap, three lines deep.
OK, deployment complete, here they come...
(not much to say about the battle itself really - they came, smashed through my first and second line and were barely stopped at the third. Once the impetous was stopped they routed quickely, however.)
