I have a lot of defeating to do. I will certainly destroy Carthage and Egypt in my current game, since the Scipii are so incompetent with regards to Carthage.
Well I'm playing Scipii and I brought Cartage on it knees. Got their 2 (of there 3?) cities including there capitol. Altough I must say I got lucky on an important battle were the enemies elephants stampeeded trough their own lines. I loved it
Got defeated by overconfidence also. I guess that happens when your playing Roman.
I lay siege on a town with 4 groups of hestati and a general. I tought it would be enough since it always had been enough in the past to conquer a small town. Turned out the comp had 1300 men including tons of ranged units (especially cavalry archers are a bitch) and I got horribly slaughtered when the comp attacked me from the city.
I made my 2nd army in northern africa a bit stronger by adding a ballista, one group of archers and a bit more infantry (i had to hurry since i wanted to complete the mission). 300 men total
Again, I lay siege and again the comp attacks me by breaking out. But this time I didnt wait but immediatly started rushing to the frontal gate and arranged my infantry in a horseshoe formation around the gate.
My gamble payed off as the comp sent his infantry trough the front gate which get slaughtered. He did stormed the flank and back with 2 sepetate cavalry charges but luckely I had my own generals mob to counter that. When I killed their general in their last charge the comp retreated to the centre of the town and altough I had losses on my own and still were outnumbered, the comp began to have serious problems with morale so I didnt had much problems with the rest. Heroic victory
I gotta make screenshots
By the way: does sometimes someone else gets units stuck on each side of the wall when using ladders or towers?
