hi, thought i could create this topic, for u all to post your battles
my biggest battle was with the FRANKS vs WEST ROMAN EMPIRE, it was a quite peaceful day, wen the romans decided to ruin it . i had 2 thousand men in my city, they had
3.4 thousand, with my general away killin things i was in trouble. this was a bad day for me, they had built two seige towers, two ladders, and a battering ram well i put my best heavy infantry on the walls, knowing they would have there best attackin me on the walls so, my infantry were in place, and my archers on the gateway, and below on the ground. the time had come and they started two move. there seige tower went exactly were i wanted them two go, straight for my heavy infantry.
i had my light infantry on another walls waitin to attack from behind. my archers fired upon the ladders, takin out half of their men there. but they proceded to the wall, then they started to climb, just when they got on the wall, there seige tower reached me, so in a battle already i was goin to be attacked from behind, i ordered my other heavy infantry(the ones waitin on the wall for the seige tower)to attack the troops who were comin from behind my other heavy infantry, this left one wall with only light infatnry guarding it. . so i was in a long brutal battle on the eastern wall, nxt to my gate. wen suddenly the other seige tower reached, and deployed its troops upon my light infantry . my archers on the ground were firing in all directions trying to help, but were doin little damage. on my east wall victory was mine, but not the war, so my heavy infantry ran to back up the west wall. it was then i noticed there ramaining troops running to the ladders, i knew if they made it they would masdacre wat i had left of my army on the walls, so i sent all my cavalry i had out of the city to attack them from behind, they were victorius attacking them just before they reached the walls, delighted with the small victory i still was in trouble, with my infantry gettin whooped on the walls, so all my archers were sent below on the ground to fire upwards on the enemy, using flamed arrows i started to kick there butts, i was victorius, but to my horrior there reinfrocments arrived, (i nvr looked at the battle screen to see if there any reinforcements :laughing: ), i knew i would nvr make it with only 250 heavy infantry, 150 archers, and 200 cavalry. so just i was lookin at my T.V.(i was watching KINGDOM OF HEAVEN) it spurred me to attack them head on, so i moved all my exhausted troops out of the city, with my heavy infrantry infornt archers behind them and cavalry further back, i marched north to take on 1 thousand fresh infrantry.
sending in 1 unit of infantry 2 attack i used war cry, to improve there stats, and they were doin great with my archers in support, wen the enemy slowly surrounded my infantry i sent in my last unit of infantry to attack from behind, again using war cry, they took half of their army OUT :laughing: . but there still was the reserves, . this is were i massacred them luring there troops to my archers, with my infantry throwing axes everywere. i sent my cavarly through my troops to meet the enemy head on, by that time my cavalry were again fresh for batte and the enemy tired from chasing archers, they were no match for me, and again shocked to see my general had then came to my aid, after a bloody battle, (again i nvr knew of support for me )
that has been my best battle so far, so post your battles here for some good reading
