    Default The last defender of Constantinople

    A picture tells more than a thousand words:


    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    I was just finishing the campaign, Constantinople was the last city I needed to take for victory. So I decided to gather an all-elite units army for fun, and used it to storm the city. There was no need to hold back anything, although there wasn't enough room to use all my units

    EDIT: What I love the most about this screen, is how the guy thinks that defeat is a "distinct possibility". Just how much worse would it have to get for him to admit that defeat seems certain? I guess being a hopeless optimist is a requirement for qualifying to carry that golden eagle banner.

    I've taken on a Eastern Roman Jedi before in a town square. It took all three of my gold chevron Immortals to take him down

    I thought you could name them yourself ?

    That would be a really nice feature...

    The first cohorts are named depending on which region they were raised.

    There's only 3 Immortals units (the generals). The rest of the ones attacking are 2 Cataphracts. The normal Clibinarii units were kept out of the plaza because there wasn't enough room for them, and I wanted to use my elephants.

    Yes... I have tried to look them up, and I'm certain that I managed to get at them once, but now I don't know where to look.
