FUBAR replays...
firstly, i have v1.0 since i can't get the patch onto the computer with the graphics card (no internet)
i was goofing around, seeing if i was tactically capable. i'm usually an essentially retarded general when it comes to real-time stuff, but my skills have been improving recently, (thanks to my good friend M:TW), so i thought i'd challenge myself.
i designed a custom battle on the flat grass plain where i commanded a buttload of Armenian cavalry versus Seleucid silver-shield pikemen or whatever they're called, as many as my computer would handle. i made sure the forces were equal, or as close to it as possible in terms of denarii. this seemed like a stacked battle, especially in my inept hands, but i surprised myself and actually managed to pull it off, getting ~ 2500 kills versus 500-600 casualties with a "CLEAR VICTORY". hurrah for me. i saved the replay.
i watched the replay immediately afterward, and saw a very different battle. i saw a battle where the Armenian general basically made random and illogical charges straight into prepared Seleucid positions, not the teasing and surrounding that i managed to perfect earlier. he got spanked in the replay. funny thing is, that battle never happened. i have probably 5 replays on my computer at all, and all the other ones are ridiculous archer or siege equipment battles, i.e. there's no possibility i loaded the wrong replay, because i checked again.
what gives? is this something that was actually addressed and fixed in the patch? there's no way for me to know, because i couldn't find a list of the fixes and i wouldn't dare install R:TW on this computer (the one with internet access) in order to read the readme, as .com tells me to do.
hmm.
