Favorite Method to kill everyone!

Cataphracts: immune (practically) to arrows, too fast for skirmishers, and death to non-phalanx units. CRASH!!!!!!

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Against archers and cav phalanxe box or other shape and by the way my spartans can take archer fire any day. and if they break the line hit em with cavalry and infantry stashed inside the formation. Or for a double header put archers inside and have them shoot at long range targets to avoid FF. great to see the pride of rome bashing against my formation whilst only a few of my men get shot in the back!

P.S. you can also put a box inside a box inside a box and put troops at corners!

Don't you just hate it when somebody uses too many smilies

(off topic) Sorry

...I'm not sure it's supposed to work like that...

(on topic) I meant flanking

They are faster than skirmishers

I think they are I full charge but not while walking

leaping over spear points

That is not historically accurate

P.S: Can somebody find that tread that talks about leaping over spear points

Any siege equipment for me - sieges are my thing really - this game revolves around them as far as I'm concerned - avoiding field battles and going for the cities is pretty much my strategy. So siege towers (even the silly overpowered ones), onagers - great in field battles too, the lowly battering ram is useful... the ultimate siege device (especially for wooden walled settlements) is the elephant - smashes open gates, knocks down walls, and in narrow streets? Nasty, especially with cavalry coming down the other way.

I love cataphracts, because they look like robots!!! But i like spartans even more, because they are unstoppably good!!
