Annoying Battle moment

**Total Roach** · June 23, 2009, 01:08 PM

So, had just killed 98% of the Germans facing me, when the battle should have ended it didn't. So I scanned the whole map and found this. I couldn't do anything about it as my archers were out of missiles, the timer ran out and it told me I had lost.

Anyway the 1st time in ages I have reloaded a save for a battle because that is just not on, made sure the 4 Woad warriors died in a hail of arrows this time

I don't blame you for reloading a save; if only stuff like this didn't happen...but at least it's not often.

P.S. Nice legion you have there.

Thanks, I have 5 of them now, they seem to work well. Here's their normal combat formation if you're interested:

LMAO, 1 man defeats an army!!!

Dont feel bad about reloading saves, that is what they are there for. Especially for a battle like this.

An army in a quite impregnable formation, to boot. I like the formation, Roach...I got frustrated with my over-expanded empire (though it was nothing compared to your Greek one) in my last Roman campaign a little while back...I forget the exact composition of my legions, but they were quite similar to yours, just not so many archers.

Lol, how did the unit get there in the first place? Was it deployed there?

I am not making fun of you. The perdicament is just kind of funny. I have had my share of them too, dont worry.

I've had that happen lots, but not in XGM.

In ExRM, if your army besieging Athens is attacked by a reinforcing army, then the garrison appears on a much large ridge, enclosed by rocks. Luckily, that's a defensive battle, so the timer is on your side.
