help me this is important

[antisocialmunky]

The only way that could be possible is if it was a 10 star family father or something weird like that since sometimes they've been known to do that.

Maybe it had something to do with battle difficulty.

Maybe he was Kiano Reeves or something.

BTW- You're not helping by saying "... but I still lost." Making it blue just makes you look more like a annoying loser, bud. If you don't give a detailed account, then no one can help you, pretend its story time if it helps.

I believe the only way could be that Clayton is nothing more than a troll, and that Mikeus should be restored to his previous level. Although it's fruitless to harass a troll, it should not be deemed wrong, imho.

Is that supposed to be humorous? because it's not. I could just as easily call you the same thing as your post serves no purpose to the thread, but it does insult an .org member and asks that Mikeus be given member status again. Both of which have nothing to do with the thread, therefore rending your post useless. Considering Mikeus and Clayton's past, saying what you did could be considered a big jab at clayton.

who is the troll supposed to be again? (just to clarify)

[Revelation]

saying what you did could be considered a big jab at clayton.

Such is life........
As long as you allow Clayton to post here, things will likely never improve!
Lets face it, he really does not seem to be getting the message. While some, and I stress "SOME" of his posts may have merit, the majority just seem like a strangled cry for attention. I've lost count of the times he has been asked to collaborate all his questions then post in a single post. Perhaps not the best solution to the problem, but certainly the least antagonising as far as those folks whom he rubs the wrong way are concerned.

I say reinstate him and raise the warning level to 10 and run a book on how long it takes him to reach it.
Go Clayton go!

Wow, one patron causes the whole .org experience to come crashing down? surely he doesn't do that much damage. Of course, you always have the option to...wait for it... Ignore him.

And THIS alone merits a ban from the entire site for good? how easy moderating is in your eyes. I wonder if the same people who claim to want a ban for clayton would be the same to support a thread that said we went to far if we ever did.

If you don't like him, it's very simple. Don't read his threads. The world will not come to an end...

[frogbeastegg]

Enough! No more Clayton bashing.

We have rules here: no flaming, no personal insults, no harassing other patrons. Those rules apply to everybody equally. We do not and will not tolerate bullying.

As Monk says, if a patron annoys you put them on your ignore list.

[Bulawayo]

I am sorry if I offended you Monk. My post was not intended to be humorous. I thought more of it like a voice of reason, or something like that. I have played enough of RTW to see the unreasonable loss of 200 romans lead by a 10 star general vs 10 gallic swordsmen. Neither do I judge Clayton just because of this single thread. But I do have a quite good ability of seeing patterns, if you get my point?

Anyway, I'll stop this immediately, now that I have got your point.

Blessings

I am sorry if I offended you Monk.

You did not offend me, but over the last week clayton has been bashed at every turn. As an Assistant Moderator my purpose is to make sure patrons are not doing what has been going on.

Posting 'he's a troll', even if you have reasons for doing it, is an attack on him no matter if you, or I, or anyone think it's a justified one or unjustified. The .org does not stand for such attacks.

It is easy to forget that the one you are speaking with may be much younger than yourself, and even a statement like the one you made could hurt them deeply. That is why our policy is that it is.

Anyway, I'll stop this immediately, now that I have got your point.

you have my thanks.

[Mongoose]

Just because it's easy and fun dosen't make it right...don't bully him...if he continues this he will get himself banned in no time. (just guessing based on the rate that he is getting warnings)


Anyway, as you can see the moderators have been dealing with the issue. He has goten a level 5 warning, and has been banned. So why bother?

Just my 2cents...

[The Stranger]

'why is he banned.

[clayton ballentine]

i play Rome Total War almost every day so how can i lose to 10 men!

Makes the game more exiting don't you think? Not much fun if you win all the time

Just try different tactics, skirmish more before they reach your battle line, flank them with light cavalry if you have them.

tried it i am like a JR Julius Caesar at RTW (Rome Total War) so HOW CAN I BE LOSING

[CMcMahon]

Maybe you should lay off the drugs, send your cavalry around back, have your infantry throw pila first, and make sure that they're facing the right way?

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

Clayton, it's because you suck. Man, you have velites or skirmisher or hastati, you should chuck those pointy mushrooms(Don't know where I got that from ) at those poor gits and they're dead.

[Garvanko]

Funny, once I was laying seige to Pergamun with a full stack Brutii army, but ran out of ammo (with my onagers), and since I didn't have any ladders or towers etc, and time was talking ages to run down, i decided to withdraw. I got a close defeat, i.e. only lost 5 men or so to some archers, but on the Campaign map, my entire full stack literally disappeared.

Why? I only withdrew. I didn't disband the entire unit.

[Mongoose]

Do you have 1.2?

[Garvanko]

no. 1.0

[Mongoose]

Ah, that was a 1.0 bug. 1.2 should fix it.

[Viking]

What units did you have Clayton? How did you lost? How many units did the enemy have etc. etc. I need more info to answer your question!(if that`s what you want )

[IrishMike]

I won with 10 men in MTW. But I though such great heroic last stands such as that were inpossible in RTW. Mabey its because they took out the jedi generals part. Shame, I liked my 20 valor prince. But alas no such luck in RTW, the highest I have ever had is silver level in Rome. Honestly though I don't see how that could have happened, save mabey they were light horsemen who just ran away constantly untill the battle timer went down. But if thats not the case, go and rase a huge army of 4000 men, march them at the heroic ten and smash them into nothingness, mathmatically its impossible for them to win, and they will be surrounded.

[amazon77]

I think if you run all the time, avoiding battle, your unit kinda "auto-routs".

So you can't fool the game by toying with the timer when u'r on defence.

Not too sure tho.

[Soviet_AK-47]

He [clayton] later admitted to having not 10 enemies, but 100! This is more understandable. Besides that, everyone makes mistakes occasionally. Even the good people.

just 4 chevs. that's low. i have over 20 units with 9 chevs. and in one army i have 20 9 chev legionares.

[antisocialmunky]

You should go Alexander and see how much of the known world you could conquer with mercs and that stack.

[player1]

On what difficulty level is the game?

In 1.0 and 1.1 is you played on battle difficulty higher then medium, AI units got attack and morale bonuese.

.

In 1.2 they added those same bonuses to player faction too, makin higher level battles not more difficulty, but faster.

I miss 1.0/1.1 difficulty settings...

Yeah I know, I'm admit i'm not that great at RTW. MTW is my game. Ahh the days of fighting in multiplayer, the great battles, the whipping the lesser clans as a ronin. Ok ok enough floating back.
