    Default Favorite 'original' historical battles.

    First of all - it seems like something old to ask, I would like to know whether finishing the historical campaigns allows the player to acquire a hidden feature. I don't know, maybe it will unlock new maps or something. Well, I was so close to finishing the set of campaigns but I had to reinstall for some reason. Luckily, I like playing them over and over as they're good exercise.

    Anyway, which battle (or set of battles) is your favorite battle to play? It could be for whatever reason.

    One of my fave has gotta be the Mongol set. Kalka isn't all that and is too easy, but Liegnitz is definitely a fun battle to play. Barbarossa set is a little hard but it gets interesting towards the end chapter. I have to mention Jaffa as well. It seems impossible to beat but it's definitely insteresting to play. I can't believe I routed that many people.

    Nice topic

    My favourite battles would be Hattin, Liegnitz and all Barbarossa's battles.
    Hattin is very interesting battle, Egs have lots of cavalry , when I looked at enemy 100 RK, I was wondering how can they be defeated (combination of Mamluk cav, Saracen inf and Bedouins )
    Liegnitz- it's not so hard to defeat the enemies, but to stop their leaders from routing. This makes this battle very fun.
    All Barbarossa's battles are hard, especially 3rd and 4th one. These battles convinced me that late RK can do miracles when there are more than 20 men per unit.

    Hattin is easy enough to beat what with all your Horse Archers, I usually take fewer than 300 losses winning it. Saladin's last battle is the hardest but can be won with a good solid flanking maneuver with cavalry.

    My favourite battles would be Liegnitz, and Barbarossa's later battles.
