How do I stack up against other players... (Whats your most difficult vs Cpu victory)

[HumphreysCraig00]

This is in the same light as the most humiliating CPU inflicted defeat suffered thread.

Anyway I just got of the tail end of my hardest campaign battle ever

It was

(On completely flat ground)

**THEM**

5 peltasts varying between 1 and 3 bronze chevrons
8 Eastern spearmen 2 silver
2 eastern spearmen 1 silver
2 Hillmen 2 Silver
1 Militia cavalry 3 bronze
1 Scythed chariot 2 Silver

***ME***

2 Equites 2 Bronze
4 Equites 1 bronze
1 Equites 0 bronze
1 Generals Cavalry 1 bronze (49 men)

1 Mercenery hoplites 1 bronze
2 Cretan Archers 0 bronze (One at 100 strength)

Apparently 11:1 odds against me going into it IIRC)

Anyway I was wondering how this stacks up against other players hardest vs cpu battle that they won.

I am pleased with myself right now.

Also Is 15 regions controlled with +100% happieness in all of them a good achievement by 258 BC?

2 militia Hoplites, one of the units above them for Macedon (levy pikeman?), and a peasant, not experienced, not teched up, was my garrison in one of my border cities between me and my Briton allies. The Britions decided to betray me, sent a 15 stack army to attack the city. I couldn't send any reinforcements, so the Britons ended up assaulting me with 8 rams. I had the lowest level of wooden wall as defence. No general. Their general had 4 stars. The odds were somewhere around 1 to 20.

I won. I never realized that peasants can actually be decent at flanking. I guess you realize these things when you're forced to use them.

The cpu is sometimes quite stupid at "calculating victorys" Eastern spearmen have the morale of peasents

Honestly i can say 3 units of hoplites in defending the narrow pathways of a town can easily defeat a non hoplite army 4 times its size as long as the opposing forces dont have anything super effective vs hoplites


Heres my latest greatest Victory vs the romans

***The cpu is sometimes quite stupid at "calculating victorys" Eastern spearmen have the morale of peasents***

Even if they do before I decided to try taking out units in order of threat rather than when the oportunity arose charging one of the 2 silver E.S. from every side semi silmultaniously with 4 equites caused all 4 equites units to rout (even after i'd killed their general) which thus far in my experience puts them above the spartan hoplites (which routed a 3 direction charge, admitedly though while out of formation) but lower than sarmartrian lancer mercenaries, which routed a 6 equites charge from 3 directions on the run away!!! scale.

Unless I was just horribly unlucky.

Which leads me to ponder how much randomness effects the battles in this...

***Honestly i can say 3 units of hoplites in defending the narrow pathways of a town can easily defeat a non hoplite army 4 times its size as long as the opposing forces dont have anything super effective vs hoplites***

If I have them all facing the same direction and the Cpu decided to just try 1 assualt path then generally yes (because I can make phalanxes that decide to stop fighting fall and regroup) but when the cpu splits and takes 2 (its never taken more than 2 for me) The hoplites rout pretty quickly without something to back them up (generally a general :))

In response to your battle.

What were the decisive moments in that battle as I cant think of any way I could have won that.

Unless I took out thier cavalry with my general then whittled them down with all the missiles I had then drew them into my hoplite mercs with the skirmishers.

/\ Is that anything like how it happened?

Ive never been able to flank efectively with infantry, especially in towns as if I put them too far away they cant get there but if I put them close enough so they can get there before the pinning force routs the comp generally attacks them instead.

How did you do it?


Good victories from both of you, put me to shame :/

By the way afkazar how did you get it to quote?

I put this whole message and all the quotes in my previous message in between [*QUOTE] and [/QUOTE*] without the *s but all that happens is the [QUOTE*]s dissapear and notingh else happens.

Unless this whole post is quoted in which case why didnt it work in my last post???

By the way afkazar how did you get it to quote?

To do this simply use this syntax,

[*QUOTE=HumphreysCraig00]By the way afkazar how did you get it to quote?
[/QUOTE]

Remove the * at the beginning.

By the way afkazar how did you get it to quote?

Thats what I have been doing though

I have copied and pasted the above twice and tried just removing the * and removing the * and the =humphreyscraig00 (which makes it how I normally do it.

Lets see if it works.
