    Default That was entertaining, to say the least.

    Playing as the Brutii, i've managed to start the civil war, and i swiftly took over Italy and have started moving into Europe, to defeat the Julii. a few turns before i had told one of my main armies to attack a large 800 man Julii army South-East of Mogontiacum, so once i pressed the End-Turn button, they went there and started the battle. I quite cleanly won (20 losses 800 kills), but right after that i was attacked by a 1000 man army (another victory) and then another, which i also won! In all, i had 3 battles before the turn had even begun properly, all in the exact same place. So, has anyone else had a large number of battles which were all great victories all in a row?

    Beat you. 4. I was as the Julii in 196BC against the Brutii.

    I attacked Thermon in Greece(I had Athens, Corinth and Sparta), controlled by a full stack Brutii army with Large Stone Walls. Plus, a half stack also. I attacked it with 2 full stacks.

    4 battles. The first one, I won it with high casualties. Lost about 1200 men, Brutii about 1500. The half stack attacked me. Open field fight.

    The following 3, different. They brought 3 full stacks. They attacked me. I lost it. They surrounded me(I was very surprised of the AI). I couldn't go nowhere. Again, the following was lost. For the final, I only had about 200 Triarii with 30 Roman Archers. Destroyed completely.

    But, I was very surprised of the AI to surround me. It was VH/H.

    I only won all 3 battles because of the fact that i had the superior army. 4 Praetorian Cav, 4 Praetorian Cohorts, 8 Legionary Cohorts, 2 Archer Auxilia and 2 Heavy Onager, with silver armour and weapons and 3 bronze Chevrons. In all the battles put together, i only lost about 80 men, while killing 2600 Julii. They are now besieging Mogontiacum, while my army in Massilia is waiting for re-inforcements before it can start moving again.

    I had a full stack of Triarii, and the other one was composed of Roman Archers, 2 units of Equites, no general....

    I had the Marian Reforms, but I hadn't had time to refresh all of my armies.

    i had 6 units..i was teh greeks in RTR 5.4..
    Italy, south of Rome.
    i had 3 hoplites, 1 greek-cav and 1 cretan archers..out of teh blue 10 units show up, i win at a high-ground..cretans rocked..
    second go, another win..heavy cretan losses...heavy cav losses..seems Romans had terrifyingly good cav
    third time wasn't a charm...wiht only hoplites..the defeat was inevitable..still the best units i ever spent..

    I often have several battles in a row when I´m besieging cities and my opponent has units in close vincinity. They attack over and over again, with the side effect that they weaken the city defense, because the defense forces join the battle every time my siege army is attacked. I don´t mind - I don´t much like doing city battles, better to bury them outside the walls.
