    Default Epic Total War moments

    I have some memories of certain battles i did in the TW Games. Moments where you had a battle that i thought i could not win and then turned around surprisingly - leaving a memory that i wont forget.

    in Medieval Total War (old one) i was playing as HRE and after a papacy rebellion i got sieged with only few troops and the pope with 2 stacks was attacking. i knew i wont stand a chance but i didnt autoresolve because i wasgoing to inflict as much damage as possible.
    my castle slowly fell, walls got breached and i was fighting with my few units close to the keep (where in medieval total war arrows kept shooting out)

    the pope charged with all his units, i managed to not only rout them all - i also killed the pope. this was a great feeling and the battle is 5 years ago and i still remember it.

    also in RTW i was defending a barbarin germanic conquered town against a huge army. in the end i only had half a unit of princeps with my captain and a few hastati. my captain and maybe 40 men survived the battle and won.

    even though i love playing germanics this was a epic feeling and a great victory for rome. unfortunately my captain did not become a general.

    so u guys have any epic tw battles you wont forget?

    i was playing BI has the western roman empire,the huns sent 3/4 stacks in one of my cities on greece,i had half one,it was long time ago,i can remenber that they infantry attacked with alot of units but their numbers didint counted,5 of 5 battering rams got destroyed,after their infantry died the cavalry just fled.it was a remarkable day
    Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

    I remember an epic online battle in M2TW, I was playing Venice and a teammate england, the enemy Milan and HRE, the enemy grouped together, while I remained seperate from my team mate who fortified a hill with longbowmen and knights, the enemy tried to attack it, I had sent a couple of Musketeers to help defend it and they valiantly held out, I swung my Army around, and it was epic, They all stood flanking the enemy on a ridge while the enemy continued a desperate attack against the english hill. Then , I gave the order to charge and they all slamed into the flanks of the enemy thus ending the battle. It was awesome.

    trhree moments I can remember:

    a) Shogun: Mongol Invasion. How my tiny army of samurais held off the mongols in a wooden fort for many battles. only 16 of my men survived those years and had the pleasure to see the reinforcement army arrive.
    b) BI Invasion, first day: I played the WRE for 12 hours in a row, completely reuniting the roman empire.
    c) BI Invasion: I was playing the ERE and the huns came out of nowhere near Constantinople. I had a full army waiting for them in the open and they had like 6-7 stacks. One after the other they clash against my army which always waited them at the edge of a forest. The 7th army managed to rout my units but since they lost their last family member the huns were vanished from earth in a single turn.
