Haha, I remember there was an Iulius Caesar someone had posted on the forums aaages ago. Don't think Julius ever popped up though.

A few pics from awhile back.

Romans vs Macedonian phalanx. A small battle, but revealing.

The Macedonian Militia vs the iron men of Rome, Should be no contest. In numbers, a slight edge to the Macedonians.

As the first pic shows, the miltia phalanx hold the Romans at bay.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Time passes and still the milita hold. It's one skirmish unit fleeing. Its two light cav engage the right Roman flank cav.
If only there where Macedonian Heavy Cav hammering the enemy flanks like in days of old. If only.



Still the Militia held, but the Roman legionaries begin to slowly flank the phalanx. Same story across the battlefield.



Flanked, and now the front of the deadly wall of sarissa are now being bypassed. It's light cav defeat the Roman cav but are no further use after. We know the rest of the story.
The militia phalanx did more than could be expected of them. If only they'd had the right kind of support while they held against superior soldiers. Now, they fight on, waiting for death as another victorious cohort is about to charge their flank.

Note: Don't know why mouse pointer says the militia is Carthaginian. Custom battle glitch I suppose.


Sorry, I couldn't can't find the pics of the final demise of the Macedonians. Maybe its for the best.
I played as the Romans, but played as I believed most overconfident Roman Generals would have fought the battle. Mainly relying on the discipline of the Legions to win, without troubling with tactics or maneuver.

What is production in the charts? Is it how much you're building or what? Apparently my production took a huge hit recently.


BTW, Greece is really rich. I took 4 settlements and my income has skyrocketed.

Yeah, Sagunton was littered with Heroic Victory statues, they aren't there any more though. That's annoying, I was enjoying showing off.

[tungri_centurio]

lol,im trying to match you but its not easy

[High Fist]

I'm actually lacking in good commanders now. Vibius Atellus (from the last page) is the only good general I have now. All the others have passed away, and are sorely missed.

Started a new 0-turn Roman campaign
Unlike the first time i fought this battle , in which i suffered a grave defeat at the hands of the carthaginian army led by Hannibal , this time i managed to defeat them with a decisive victory in which Hannibal alongside his army feel to the might of the Roman Republic

Part 1 . EDIT: 4 pics added here.
'Four cohorts' of Caesar's 7th legion have been ordered to burn their fort and to march with all haste to him. 1 cohort of auxiliary infantry recon the front of the column and a young General riding with his cohort of auxiliary cavalry leading the way.
Stragglers soon meet the army and tell of the massacre of other Roman cohorts and soon, over the horizon, the largest horde of Gauls any Roman had ever seen appears.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The Horde is here


Centurions start barking orders to form up and as it quickly becomes apparent the cohorts are outnumbered at least 5-1, a square formation is hurriedly called for. The auxiliary infantry ordered to the center with orders to stop any breakthrough. The line must hold.

The stragglers shout, don't let them take you alive. We've seen what they do to those they capture.

The young General refuses to enter the protection of the formation and decides its better if he harasses the enemy from a far and gallops off. A few curse words licking at his back.




The fight in on as the Gauls complete their encirclement. Their warcries's. drums, horns and the beating of spears and swords on shields is deafening. The Centurions must shout orders loudly to be heard. Hundreds of heads of earlier slaughtered Romans Legionnaires are thrown into the Roman formation.




Stampeding horde for Roman heads to take as trophies.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

'Die Romans, All Romans must die.'





"By the gods", one legionnaire exclaimed," I believe there's more Gauls than trees in the forest."
There is some fear and concern among the men of the cohorts, but they know their experience and discipline has won them many battles and their Centurions continually remind them of this in various ways.There was no one man in charge, the Centurions know what's needed done without being told.




Vid shows;
A Gaulic unit pushed too far into the Roman square and now finds itself being cut down from front and back. But what's that horn a blowing. Fresh Gaulic troops are called in from the NE corner.

"Watch your flank", shouted a Centurion.


"Has the whole Gallic nation come upon us" cried a legionnaire as he falls back from the fighting and collapses exhausted. A Centurion, acting a bit like this was just another drill, chastised the soldier.
"But I,m too tired cried the man. The Centurion slapped the sheath of his gladius,"better tired than dead now get back to it. Kill or be killed", he shouted. The legionnaire jumped back up and entered the fray.



The General and his cavalry were ambushed in the woods, the General killed. At least that would be the story the auxiliary captain would tell.

To find out the fate of the four Legionary cohorts in their desperate fight stay tune to this channel.



EDIT: 4 pics added here.


PS, I don't believe this would be labeled a AAR. Its short and ends with the next posting.

[Zydrius]

I've got one cool picture. At the end of the battle one Boii Champion got pictured in astonishing state of grace! (right bottom corner)

Invisible push! With such powerful technique romans would have conquered Mars and beyond. Sadly, hardly any spaceship was present at that time .

[stackero]

Nice army composition Zydrius. Leaves you flexible against any barbarian army or other most factions types for that matter.

How can I get these minimap?Sorry for offtopic.

[High Fist]

The borders? Here's how.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You go into RS2 -> Data -> IMPORTANT_STUFF -> Region_Borders_Visible. There will be a list of all of the campaigns. Choose the campaign that you are playing and copy the "descr_sm_factions" there.

Then go back into the main RS2 and choose whatever campaign you're playing. For example: RS2 -> Play_One_Turn -> data. Paste the "descr_sm_factions" here and overwrite.

Nice wee battle story thing Stackero. I'd rep but apparently I already did, so there's a present in the mail for you.
