My frist triumph

**Pharnakes** · 12-19-2007, 17:57

OK, so I was starting a romani campaign, just to remind myself how much I hate romans. Year 267, and a pidly little rebel stack appears in Campania, one of each samnities and a hoplotai haploi, IIRC. Anyway, I think I can't be bothered with this, so I take my full legion thats wiating inside capua to go north to segesta, and hit auto resolve, I move the legion north, leaving cotta behind to continue governing Capua, I hit end turn, and get a litle message that he has been declared imperator by troops 500 miles away that he only commanded for one turn in a tiny little battle with the odds about seven to one in his favour?

I laughed.

Not meant as a critisism of the triumph system. I just found it funny.

Huh?? Wow!! I'm at 228BC as Romani and I've yet to see any of my Local Hero, Carthaginian vanquishing, Talented Leaders reach this state..what am I doing wrong?????

And look what happened to this legion two years later.

I can still hardly belive it.

I think thats must be about my worst defeat ever including mp battles.

I can still hardly belive it.

Well, that Eleuthori army was lead by Conan, so that might explain a few things.

that's the stack in Segesta isn't it? I got beaten too, but the odds were 1:2

**Pharnakes** · 12-19-2007, 19:55

That's not a triumph though.

I have also got the imperator trait several times- all you need to do is win a battle against tough odds, it has no prerequisites.

All the other stages do need prerequisites.

It is unhistorical, but the triumph challenge is pretty good. ( a historical one would give you a triumph after pretty much any battle led by a consul)
