Yay we have a wiener! Noble Wrath with his fourth post in sixteen months wins.

I had my Consular army in a nice position in central Sicily awaiting the First Punic War deciding big Sicilian battle that always seems to happen. Went slightly differently this time (probably because I hadn't left Syracuse until after the war as I usual do) they marched past my army and assaulted Syracuse with their elephants. Syracuse, a city with huge stone walls. The army split into two and assaulted a diffferent gate, the spearmen lined up behind the elephants within range of the towers. One by one the elephants walked up to the gates and were killed by boling oil. Eventually they went berserk, back through the ranks of the spearmen, hence the "friendly trampling" The elephants went for a little dance off the map, taking ages to actually rout, letting my towers kill even more of the spearmen.

I think the reason for the average victory was the fact my army didn't actually kill anyone...
