Here is the ahistorical recreation of the
Battle of the Arius, fought between Seleucid Empire and Greco-Bactrian Kingdom in 210BCE. I made it for video but lags too much on my poor laptop!
The battle began with missile exchange between my horse archers and Seleucid "light cavalry":
Reinforced with the Agema, the seleucid cavalry force launched a foolish all-out charge to follow my HAs, away from their battle line
And soon trapped and slaughtered...
Meanwhile, the Bactrian line and Seleucid line clashed:
The dumb AI somehow learned Epaminondas' tricks....
And overwhelmed my left in a few minutes.. Damn my thorakitai are all cowards!
The center still holds, but not for long before those bloody Galatians.....
Before the line collapses, however, the enemy general was surrounded and killed. The sound of his screaming shakened the Seleucd troops and stopped my cowardly Bactrians from running away!
Now it's time for a counter attack, led by Bactrian royal guards and elite swordsmen:
Soon the Seleucid left was put to rout; only the Hypaspitai are still struggling:
A final charge by Bactrian hore archers and the end of battle!
