Battle replay thread- post your replays here

[Askthepizzaguy]

Greetings, guild members.

This thread is for posting and viewing awesome battle replays. Create your own custom battles and share them with your fellow members here! I have some to share, which have already been posted on the battle tactics thread. So I will repost them here, and add some more of my own. I would really love to see how the rest of you perform in combat. Some tips: Try to make the battles interesting and winnable for your enemies. A replay about 500 heavy cavalry pounding some peasants is good for a laugh, but not much else.
For my replays, I am either outmanned, outgunned, or I am attempting to perform a specific maneuver to illustrate a tactic. They all should be fairly interesting, so give them a look, and of course POST your own replays.
Your assignment: Post battle strategies, tactics, or interesting battles, anything that is fun and informative. You could even attempt to recreate a historical battle if you know your history.

I hope this thread does well, and you all enjoy the replays.

_______________________________________
For my battles, you can upload them from this link, and then copy them into your M2TW/Replays folder. Create a folder with the same name if you have no replays.

There is also included a text file with a description of all the battles.

This is the "Death to Stampy" series of battle replays. I have a fascination with making elephants, and the mongols in general, die.

Death to Stampy #1-
French cannons only versus elephants, defending bridge
DTS 2-
English Trebuchets only versus elephants, bridge defense
DTS 3-
English Trebuchets again
DTS 4-
Mongolian rocket launchers only versus 2 stacks of Timurid elephants
DTS 5-
English retinue longbowmen only versus elephants. Only 84 casualties!
DTS 6-
English retinue longbowmen versus BOTH:
Mongolian superior army/cavalry and Timurid elephant army!
notes: My captain survives being trampled by two elephants.
I decided to mop up the survivors which takes a while so feel free to exit.
DTS 7-
Only Halberd militia versus Timurid elephants and cavalry. First time I've seen an all infantry army decimate elephants and cavalry.
Death to Mongols-
Longbowmen only versus both Mongols and Timurids
Heroic Defense-
Basic english levy spearmen and basic longbowmen versus BOTH hordes at maximum strength!

BONUS battles- You'll have to see for yourself.

Die, Stampy, die!- The last thing Stampy heard.

I have just one replay you may find interesting: The Power of Stakes - a few English Longbowmen against a full stack of French cavalry

EDIT: vanilla 1.02

Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed these.

I'll post a few when I get time.

Could we also say which version of MTWII it's for with posting them as well?

Slightly off-topic, but how do you make replays?

Is it only an option in custom battle mode or can you make them from campaign games?

Cheers

At the end of a custom battle, there is a button on a Battle results screen that allows you to save a battle replay.

As the campaign battle replays are concerned, some people say that you can get the replays by copying the Medieval II Total War\temp\campaign_battle.rpy into the Replays folder.
But this method never worked for me...
