Proudest Victory

[CrazyGuy]

I know there's a thread for 'Greatest Victory' in terms of kill ratio etc. I'm just curious whether anyone has a victory that's made them especially proud. It doesn't even have to be be heroic, just one you were most pleased with.

For example, the other day I sallied out of Apollonia with my Greek Army (10Hoplites of varying strength, but mostly standard Hoplites, three units of Archers, 1 of which was Cretan and a General), to fight a Brutti army of 8 Hastati, 6 Velites, 2 Merc Hoplites, 1 Equites and a Faction Leader.

The kill ration wasn't great, something around 800:350, but it was one of my 'best' victories, because not only did it change the course of the war but it was also the first time I'd split my forces and won comfortably. I'd sent 1/3 of my force out of one gate, another 1/3 out of the opposite side and kept 1/3 back.

I got my timing just right, and both my attacking 1/3's went into action at exactly the right time, splitting the Romans and enabling my reserve third to come out the main gate and force the army of the map in a contiuous push.

It probably wasn't the best battle I'd fought, but it was my proudest as for once everything went as planned.

Anyone else have something like this? Not necessarily a crushing victory but one in which you chuffed when you were finished?

I beat a British Full Stack with two militia hoplite units, a levy pikeman unit, and a peasant unit in a battle defending my city. I got a great general from it, too!

my proudest was my first as the greeks in a crushing defeat against the senate, i cant remember the kill ratio but I had a big fear of the old men in togas so seeing the purple men scrabbling from my phalanx was tear jerking lol the second was the battle for londinum noting spectacular just holding the city for the first time made me very proud lol
