KH on VH/VH help

[bilbast]

Am in 195BC only a few provinces away from victory in a very difficult and challenging VH-VH KH campaign. The best I have ever had, always at the edge of collapsing and loose everything. I thank the team for this. CTD where few and non persistent. Now I have exterminated Macedonia but the script says, exterminate or outlast Macadonia and Epiros. Should I wipe out Epiros as well in order to win? They have 4-5 cities left. What does outlast mean? Thank you for your kind help.

I'm pretty sure the Epeirotes needs to be destroyed, either by you or another faction...

[Rilder]

Yea outlast means to destroy that faction.

Btw Vh battle difficulty is not recomended, especially if you meet an elite troup that solos your entire army.

[Suraknar]

Yes Outlast means that they are destroyed by someone else, in both cases they have to be destroyed.

[bilbast]

Oh I see...Ok thank you all.
Dam this is going to be difficult... Total and constant war in 7 fronts with cities far apart from each other...

And Rilder yes, elite enemy units are a nightmare in VH battles. I deal with them from a distance with veteran slingers at the back. Without slingers I would not have gone this far.

Lets see if il manage to win this endless bloodshed.

You can easily overcome VH/VH with micromanagement but it definitely takes away from the game and you can throw historical accuracy out the window when you fill stacks with elites yourself :)

Gaesatae... *shudder*

[Pelopidas]

My God !

Gaesatae in VH...a living nightmare, a host of invincible foes.
In the same way, there's this full stack of Thorakitai Agyraispidai who are sent every year..

I never play in very Hard battle difficulty, it doesn't change at all AI strategy.

Good luck :]

Dear god, the only way I could see winning against the AS is to build massive stacks of family members and slingers. Holy bejesus.

Even better, mounted Family Members with Slings.

Awww, I didn't notice that but thanks for saving the screenie

... And mounted slingers would be awesome.

I'm not sure if I can think of anything harder than trying to hit something with a sling while riding a horse!
