Battle of Bibracte Beta

**abou** · 03-19-2007, 06:19

Here is a link to the post with the download to the Battle of Bibracte. Please be aware that this is a beta and needs to be tweaked. Right now I think that it is too easy for the Romans, but let me know what you think. I would upload some screens, but my internet is being particularly terrible tonight.

Also, anyone who is a Celtic expert on the Helvetii, Boii, and Tulingi, any help would be appreciated.

Do not mind the proxy units as there were no Belgae at the battle; however, do let me know if the reinforcements do not arrive before the end of the battle.

Will all your battles be V. barbarians? I would like to see some Rome V. Pontus

There's already Raphia, Antiochus vs. Ptolemy, so I'd expect a wide range of battles.

Reading about the battle below Delphi lately, that would be awesome. A combined greek army against a celtic one. Just seven years before our game starts - a joint army of KH forces (Aitolians, Athenians, Boiotians, Phokians, Lokrians, Megarians, and men from Patras) along with a contingent of Makedonian mercenaries and a contingent of Seleukid mercenaries as well. Epilektoi hoplites and cavalry were sent by the Athenians. Regular hoplites for many of the other greeks. Greeks were about 25,000 in number. I don't know as much about the celtic forces, but I bet Anthony could make a creditable arrangement. Just thinking out loud here. A better greek vs. celtic battle couldn't be found I think.

Well, I've uploaded a Beta2 of the battle. A number of tweaks have been made and so I will make a short changelog. Download link should be the same, but to indicate the difference a placeholder description has been added.

Edit: TA, I will look into Delphi. It actually sounds as though it would be a really cool battle from the perspective of the Celts as they fight against a multi-state alliance of Greeks.

TA I am pretty sure one of us recreated that battle in a screenshot thread
