    Default The craziest thing you have done in RTW!

    I was playing with the Seleucids,controlling Asia and Africa,so I decided to CONQUER Europe.I attacked Greek Cities and their only town Sparta and captured it.But near Sparta was rebel general who was once family member of the Greek Cities.Because of the fact that I had more than 1 million denarii in cash i tried to bribe him and he asked for 798.000 denarii-AND I ACCPEPTED.Yes, he was very expensive but when looked his traits I saw that he was a Great Commander and Famously Courageous and Obsessed by Security.Also he had 3 gold chevrons and 8 stars.After 2 years he became my faction leader and he had 60 bodyguards 10 stars and nicknamed Mighty.With him I destroyed 17 full Roman stacks with urbans and praetorians before I captured Rome.

    It's the weirdest thing...
    In every Julii campaign I play, the Gauls pull 4-5 double gold/silver/silver Peasants and 3 Warbands with the same upgrades out of their butts. No idea where they come from, but it's frightening fighting them.
    "The dark giant lay sprawled on the sands of Tunis. Far to the north the new champion of the arena lifted his arms in triumph. The galleys passed upon the sea, the soldiers laid down their arms, cities were rebuilt and peace was everywhere welcomed. The supine giant was unconscious, but not dead. Slowly he began to raise himself upon his elbows."

    That is frightening though...what year and difficulty is this? What faction are you playing?

    Never done much crazy stuff on RTW....probably the randomest I've ever gotten is getting one unit of Greek archers to besiege a full stack Macedonian city, then use the "auto_win" cheat to see what would happen. In the end, the archers were left with about 20 men, and double gold experience, with a total of about 3400 kills.

    I have a bunch of crazy stories from when I had just gotten RTW,
    Charging faction leader straight into spartans.
    Charging faction leader right into spear warband.
    Charging faction leader right into well you get the idea.

    The stupidest thing was probably my first bridge battle..
    It was only a small army of rebels defending the bridge, so I try to make the battle short by sending about 4 units of Principe across at once - huge mistake.
    It was so annoying to see about half my army bundled up and around 100 men falling into the river every couple of seconds

    My General died smashing into my own phalanx unit's pikes.
    I wonder if that hoplite said Sorry?

    I was fighting a Greek opponent once (forgot his name). He decided to march towards one of his corners. Instead of following him, I went in the opposite direction to my corner. When my opponent saw what I was doing, he left the game.
