Exactly! ;) It's like a computer game inside a computer game: squeeze through the narrow gap between the dark mountain and the deep swamp, then swim cross a white water stream, and THEN defeat the evil wizard (sorry, Ludendorf :) ). Admittedly, my decisions didn't exactly contribute either. Your on...

Shows up to battle with an army based around light chariots. Getting to the only light chariot friendly area on the whole map involves squeezing through a one square gap between mountain and swamp then across a stream. That's how you know the map generation truly hates you. :lol: That was a bit of ...

Sounds like freakishly bad results for the hoplites. Were they flanked or was it really three on one? Were the irregulars in forest or on rough ground? Normally, that match up does mean a trouncing. Same for your massed archers; even on rough ground I would expect them to lose to the spear units.

(Immediately throws his sword into the ring.)

Interesting theme. So, we're looking at hill combat this time?

I'd be interested in any one of the three, as long as I'm not voice recorded... ;) But for the sake of good order and to arrive at a suggestion, how about Greek 680-461 BC ? Uh... well, I do have to record the match. It wouldn't be much of a series without a video at the end to show for it. But no,...

Hi folks. I'm going to start looking at the Elamites for Faction Spotlight, a series on my YouTube channel where I investigate different armies in depth and send them against a range of different armies and army types. Elamites with Babylonian allies looks quite interesting, so I'll be starting with...

Carthaginian Hannibal in Africa 202BC

My personal guess is that one of the hoplites got his spear jammed in the ground, did a pole vault into the air, landed on his commanding officer (killing him instantly) and then the rest of the phalanx tumbled head over heels over the two fallen soldiers only to slide gracefully to a halt in front ...

Two more discrepancies in the same turn that I didn't notice. An elephant that double dropped is back in the field and fragmented and a unit of my scutarii I had charged in with a general is back at its starting position.

I was playing a game against Schweetness101, my opponent. During my turn 12, I broke a unit of phoenician style foot with a flank charge, and a fragmented imitation legion of mine held firm. The phoenician foot were disrupted when the flank attack went in. The scores were 20-49% in my favour, which ...
