The "What happened there?" game.

[vartan]

How long did the battle take altogether?

[johnhughthom]

I had it on triple speed, probably ten minutes.

[Noble Wrath]

:-) Well, as I stated before I would have never guessed it, if it wasn't for the suggestions by the other members. Sort of "a dwarf standing on the shoulders of giants"
(btw while writing this post I found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standin...ders_of_giants the history of this phrase. EB can be educative in many dubious ways...)
Does this mean I have the right to post my own riddle? Well, sorry to ruin it guys, but I can no longer play the game. In fact I deleted my Windows installation and put Linux on my pc one month ago for the specific reason that I played wayyyy too many hours EB! Aside from educative EB can be harmfull for the weak.. Cheers guys!

[vartan]

Nooooooooo! We have lost another great man. Noble Wrath you will be missed dearly.

Which distro?!

Still sad =[

[Duguntz]

We shall all, brothers, remember the devotion of Noble Wrath on those bloodied battlefield. Let us also remember him as a dear companion, at our side in the phalanx, or brother at arm in the legion. many have crumbled in front of his mighht and today our friend leave with the setting sun. Wi will miss you...

(Speach to be said with sad trumpet playing in back ground)

I only hope the EB 2 engine makes the AI smarter in this respect... I mean such drastic outcomes makes me feel that the game was originally called "Rome: For Dummies," but was changed for economic purposes...

Anybody else with a strange or interesting screenshot?

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

I have a screenie of the Lusotanians offering me a lump sum of money to get a ceasefire which is pretty incredulous but its on my old comp and I havn't got a chance to transfer pics over yet. When I do I will post it.

Well spoken...

I'll take 5 lines of silence..





Well to cheer people up, I will give you a new picture, and the question with this one is:

What did the Carthaginians have in mind when they tried to execute this plan? (Note that this was EB1.0)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Complainer: Yes I posted this earlier, but I don't think everyone here had marvelled at it.

Yay we have a wiener!

Break out of the city so they can escape from your stack? -M

I actually burst out laughing lol
No idea to be honest, was there a town under siege by carthage close enough to reinforce the garrison?
If its key to v1.0 then I won't know, as I started playing 1.1

Well clearly they are attempting to prevent your entrance into the busted gate by blocking the space with a ram, lol

Seriously though, I really have no idea how that happened

[johnhughthom]

I remember seeing that posted before, don't remember the story behind it though.

[Duguntz]

Trying the weapon of ''Confusion'' and sallying forth while your army laugh too much to see what's happening?

[Tristuskhan]

Oh, isn't it the odd Kyrene bug?

[Andronikos]

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

That could be the reason. It often happens to me when I attack much smaller army and they just withdraw and I don't kill any enemy soldier because I can't catch them, I get Close victory. When I kill at least one enemy soldier I get Clear victory.

[antisocialmunky]

I've seen the ram inside the city before. 0_0 just once.

[Fluvius Camillus]

Oh, isn't it the odd Kyrene bug?

Nope this is Sala (I think) the one in Mauretania Massaesylli (most east one of the Mauretanaian cities).

But the Kyrene bug was that your siege weapons ended at the faraway cornor of the map in a wood right?

I've seen the ram inside the city before. 0_0 just once.

Probably me again, I have posted this a lot earlier but not many people did see it.

~Fluvius

[artaxerxes]

Well obviously the Carthagians have been presented with a wooden ram as a present. And "when night falls, Lancelot and Galahad and I will leap OUT of the rabbit and take the French UTTERLY by surprise!" ;p

[artaxerxes]

So, what was the real answer? :)

[Fluvius Camillus]

So, what was the real answer? :)

Well I don't know either! It's just a bug I think but your answer is certainly a very funny one

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

The Ptolemaoi starship has landed in Meroe...

[Duguntz]

you gotta shoot it when he takes his shields down...

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

you gotta shoot it when he takes his shields down...

Alright, Toxotai Kretikoi, use your laser arrows on the starship!

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

Oh no, X-wings won't work.... The Death Star is nothing compared to the Yellow Fever

[Duguntz]

so we'll have to rely solely on the Force...

[satalexton]

May the the force be with you, good hetairos. For we are the bright side of the force.....

[Duguntz]

And what about Sweboz, allied of the bright side?

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

Like I said in that demotivator, Germans are Romaioktonoi's secret weapon since they pwned the Western Roman Empire and let the Eastern one be slowly Hellenized.....

Btw, the Ptolemaioi sucked up to the Romaioi and helped Pahlava eat up my Seleukids (The true heirs of Alexandros!), so after I destroy the Rumoz, they're next!
