[EB] Historical Battles Poll N°2

Oh yes about that, what we know is that the optimas made camp much closer to the enemy and the Romani couldn't swim/cross the river from their side...
My idea, if that battle gets chosen, was to place the 2 roman armies quite afar from eachother, and on the side with no river crossing; while the Swebozez would have a crossing nearby...
That should leave two options for the Romani: stop the Swebozez, but with only half their forces, or regroup giving time to the tribes to gain a formidable position...

The other solution would be to have a very weird division of troops between the Romani players...

Thats a good idea as well. But I still like my idea! :D

It would make communication between the 2 Roman sides incredibly important. It also has the potential to case REAL problems for the Romani (killing each other, etc). I like the thought of that. I also think its the best way to reflect the leadship issues Rome was suffering at that time.

Thats a good idea as well. But I still like my idea! :D

But same factions must be in the same team, plus the consuls were in competition, I don't see them killing eachother near an enemy...
Maybe we can still divide the troops (triarii, equites, all the rich classes with the optimas and poorer with the popularis) and still have the river crossing...

Just re: same team/faction, that can be averted if u pre-make using "historical battles". I've seen Roman civil wars made.

Whilst I agree they wouldn't kill each other, what I meant is I think it would be the best way to show complete lack of unity and teamwork. So it will make teamwork very difficult during the battle itself.

It doesn't make sense that legionaries would start fighting each other if they came into contact though. Or toss pila at each other if FAW was left on. Why don't you just turn on general cam or restrict camera?

[Arjos]

I think the most accurate/balanced options for Arausio are: restricted camera and the river crossing for the Swebozez...
Any other input is more than welcomed though :)

Ok fine spoil sports. :P

Just thought it would be very interesting.

It is interesting and indeed, if civil wars can be recreated using the Battle Creator, we have a few more options with regards to battle choices.
