Thread: Run away and never return......

    Default Run away and never return......

    Playing as the Turks. High Period. 1336. I attack Hungary, an army of 1200 men. Mostly JHI, JI, About 4 Demi cannons, 3 Serpentines, Defending? 5000 Hungarians, 2000 rebels, (Hungarian Civil War), 3500 German Crusader army, and a rapidly deteriorating English Crusade of about 500 men. Logicaly, I should withdraw, I mean the Janissaries are only so tough. Wrong. Turns out the battle happens to be on a bridge, and after the battle loads up, theres only one bridge, and all the Catholic factions are on one side together, even better they all start attacking each other, but to top all that, they're all in range of my cannons!!!!! So I start lobbing cannonballs into the giant melee which looked like the final battle in the last Samurai, and after my ammo was depleted, each cannon crew had gained 2-4 valour, the hungarians routed without bringing in any reinforcements, The english and the rebels' generals were both laying under cannonballs, rebels ran like dogs, the english screamed like girls and ran away from the melee into the wwarm welcoming halberds of my JHI's and and the only army who tried to attack me at all were the germans whose numbers were reduced to half thier strength and were soon destroyed. Man whata battle. I lost maybe 60 something men and theres no telling the enemy casualties. I could only read how many men I killed which was close to 1,000.

    Sounds cool! Bridge battles can be brutual as the attacker, but not in your case it seems.

    If you have logging on, you can go to your Logfiles directory and find a text file that logs what happened in the battle, right down to the fate of each individual unit and how many people they killed. Doubtless there's some hero who killed dozens by themself.

    Cool. That's like what, four-way battles? That's rare here. I usually only get to face a group of rebels and a faction. One of them usually retreats even if they don't have a province to retreat to. Stupid rebels......

    What is this logging on you speak of? This is a feature of the game?

    I beleve it is under option. With logging set to ON (different then logging on to the internet) a file is made for each battle you fight.
    What, you never seen a Polock in Viking Armor on a Camel?

    By any chance did you save a replay that we could look at?

    Yes you can see everything there. Go to the directory where you've installed medieval and look for log files folder. There you can find log files of all the battles you fought.

    Unfortuantely I didn't save it. I had had a string of battles like this one and at the time my other half was nagging me to stop playing
