Nicely done Bish!

This is fantastic work. I still need to beat this battle myself, but I'm very impressed that you managed it. I'll need to take another look.

Good work. I particularly appreciate the fact that you go into depth with the history and background to each battle.

Take two on Lechfeld. Please send help.

Jumping forward about thirteen centuries, I give the Battle of Lechfeld a shot.

Trust me, if you're playing on Deity, the AI will give you problems. I don't care if you're Hannibal or Alexander reborn; the Deity level AI armies are not to be messed around with. And the conversion engine will reflect the match up; if you're hopelessly outclassed in FOG: Empires, you're not going...

Hmm... the Gallic cavalry are a good match vs the Roman armoured cavalry, but the triarii are difficult to get rid of. I agree that it is a tough setup. Those armoured impact legionaries are almost custom made to counter the weighty but unreliable warbands. It isn't a total mismatch (especially if t...

1: I believe this is down to suffering a bad loss. If an infantry unit suffers a bad loss, it will drop back. If it suffers a bad loss against an impact unit or offensive spear/phalanx unit that attacked it first, it will fall back and the impact unit will follow up (a pushback). You're therefore mo...

Is there a common thread to the defeats? For instance, do you lose the skirmish a lot and lose control of the battlefield that way? Does your opponent tend to outflank you, or overpower you with powerful units?

Thank you all. Having the first pick of armies this tournament certainly helped. I doubt I could have pulled it off without Hannibal and his veterans at my side.
