My Baktrian Army had to fight a horde in the mountains during the winter. Poor bastards had to do that in tunics .
Hell thats how it was for me today . Cold as hell outside and my ass had a sweater... but I was wearing shorts .

Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
My people have to keep running around, chasing routers even when they're completely exhausted, under the hot desert sun.
Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
My troops feel confused and disoriented when they realize that some jackass painted a big red line around them and they can't cross it for some reason....

My soldiers fought a lakeside battle and lost. They started routing into the nearby lake and all drowned instead of just going around...
Serves them right. Never run away, cowards!

My Spartans were defending a city wall against some crappy ankonistai and toxotai. Half of my uber warriors fell to their death because of overcrowding

Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
when I ordered my 4 Imperial reformed legions to besiege the EB headquarters, and then during the camp the EB team sent out smart rabbits and all my men ran away chasing after them.

Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
Your lucky. For some reason, my red lines aren't showing. They're still there, they're just invisible. This can be quite a problem when using HA or another skirmishing unit. I see open field, but before I know it, I'm cornered in an invisible wall.

Troops can drown?
Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
My men stand in line and hold a big stick out while 80 heavily armed and armoured men charge at them on horses, I find that pretty hardcore.

Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
My Galatian Spearmen regularly get sent on attacks to one sided and suicidal for other units. Down to 2 men against full gold chevron light hoplites without routing, and they kept them pinned down long enough for reinforcements. If they had broken like the lesser units had at 20 men left their would have been 200 elite hoplites crashing into my armies ass.
Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
about 300 of my roman legionaries had to fight a horde of 2000+ seleucids including phalangites, nizag gund, and median horsemen... and run after them when all the seleucids ran away...
Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
I believe so, yes.

Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
True, but imagine riding said horses into said wall of big sticks. That's pretty hardcore as well. ;)
Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
The most hardcore of course are the men who stand their ground while a horde of naked hairy Celts start running toward them.

Having naked fanatics fighting in snow always makes me shiver. But the cold doesn't seem to have 'visible effects' on them

I'll save myself some awful thoughts and assume you mean they don't shiver

"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters.

Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

If anything, drugs would facilitate the 'visible effects'. Maybe that's why you don't notice it - they've already retreated as far as they'll go?Well - they are drugged up to their eyeballs. That must count for something.
Right, I'll stop now.

Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
I don't understand how Naked Fanatics can stand the cold but run when things get nasty. Why are they affraid of dying?
Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
i have personally never seen a Gaesatae unit rout
As far as hard things go (no, not a reference to the naked guys), occasionally i send in units to delay a large enemy stack - a suicide attack if you will. They must have really loved me for that
Re: Hardcore things your soldiers have had to do
When fighting them as Romans, generally striking them from behind or causing a chain rout will result in barbaric cries of fear. Even the naked crazy boys fear the wrath of my Camillan half-time warriors :P.i have personally never seen a Gaesatae unit rout

Except for those gold chevron ones.

The fanatics fear my Parthian Armies in general .... well the stories of the ass kicking two generals have given out. One with an army made of Greeks and Indians with a few catatanks for back up and one all steppe army .

5 Sweboz family members, one unit of Germanic spearmen and two Germanic light calvalry units utterly crushing an Aeudi horde that outnumbered them almost 5:1 in an all out brawl.
