    Not sure, I gave that comment after looking at this map.

    It clearly shows that there was a mountain behind Pompey, so Pompey might actually occupy higher ground than Caesar.

    That's right. Pompey retreated to the hill after a fight at low ground.

    The Battle was fought in a plain between hills and the Enipeus river.
    Ive never heard of a forest and a hidden cavalry.

    Pompey was on a hill with a river protecting his right flank, Caesar was on a plain in front of him i don't think there was a forest
    How far will I go for Rome? At least to the end of the street, I hate walking

    Pompey was initially on a hill but move down on the plain for the battle...both of them fought on the plain...
