Possible Historical Battles

**Rex Basiliscus** · April 15, 2011, 10:22 AM

This is for ideas about which battles should be included. Once we narrow it down and decide, I will start working on the info about them, and then hopefully someone can make them.

Here are my proposals:

Battle of River Trebia
Battle of Trasimene
Battle of Cannae
Battle of the Metaurus
Battle of Illipa
Battle of Zama
Battle of Cynoscephalae
Battle of Magnesia
Battle of Pydna
Battle of Arausio (Cimbri defeat the Romans)
Battle of Aquae Sextiae (Marius defeats the Cimbri)

Will post more later.

How about the Battle of Wattling Street (when Romans beat Boudicca)?

Yeah that would be a good one and also how about Battle of Mons Graupius as well or is that too late into the game ?

That's fine - 83/84 AD. Perfectly within our timeframe.

Got another one - Battle of Idistaviso (aka the Battle of the Weser River) - where Roman forces under Germanicus Caesar decisively defeated the army of Germanic tribesmen under Arminius in 16 AD.

This guy seems to know what he is doing and his battle depictions seem accurate to me. Since we all have other things on our minds (traits, RL and whatnot), why not "employ" him if he would want to do the battles for us? Also, I think there was a guy who made some historical battles in a submod.

I think we should have the Battle_of_Thermopylae - Antinochus III vs Rome + Greeks. That would be cracker too but would the battle field be too hard to recreate ?

I'm all for as many Antiochus' battles as possible, but I think we should think about more decisive ones. Magnesia and Raphia are the two most decisive ones...
