Siege of Alesia!

[rude dude]

I'm not very versed in terms of history, but an intense sea battle would be great to see in the game.

Ecnomus? Which if the sources are taken at 100% truth, was the largest pre-industrial era naval battle, with close to 300,000 men involved, and 680 some ships.

Edit: forgot some zeros on the 300,000

Nope The First Punic War was really a naval war, with a couple of land battles thrown in. Rome's population actually dropped because of the losses they suffered at sea, both due to battle and storms. But those numbers for the battle are only if the sources are 100% correct.


And I actually got it wrong. It wasn't 3,000 men, but 300,000. My bad

Definetly this is a Must have battle scenario.... Possibly involving up to 8 players for an multiplayer version... Perhaps with rome 2 we will be able to play even 5 vs 5 .... That would increase also number of units , realism and fun....

That would be an epic battle, but imagine the chaos and the lag...

Adrian Goldsworthy depicted the First Punic War and the sea battles very well, in Fall of Carthage as well as -in short form- in Roman Warfare.

I thought that honor belonged to some chinese battle (the battle of red cliffs?) in terms of men. And in terms of ships wouldn't salamis be the largest pre-industrial naval battle?

[wolfbane751]

would be interesting to see the battle of actium being fought out tbh

[Zanjia98]

Cannae!, since the fate of Rome hung on the battle

[Legion3]

Battle of Actium we need a naval battle

[Lord Hovis]

I'd love to see the battle of Raphia. Tens of thousands of phalangites, cataphracts and elephants what's not to like? Also the battle of Magnesia would be fun.

[Latin Knight]

I don't know about particular battles, but what i'd like to see is like we had in NTW and Shogun 2, in which the historical battles scenarios feature a rather chronological sequence, chronicling the ascension of Rome (well, that's a Roman-centric game, right? Obviously battles like Raphia should be featured).

That means we'd have historical battles in the Early Republic (Roman unification of Italy, perhaps), in the Punic Wars, in the Roman expansion through the Hellenic world, then through Gaul and Illyria, then we'd have the Civil Wars, and culminating in the Wars of Augustus.

My point is because that would have the player play battles with different phases of the Roman military, from the "archaic" composition pre-Punic wars, the Polybian army, the Marian army and the Augustan/Imperial army.

[NicolaiR]

I want to see a scenario thing like in FOTS and napoleon? I liked the way they made it an interesting story, and you had to unlock next battle

[Krieglord]

The river trebia 218 bc

just for nostalgia after playing it over and over in the demo for rtw all those years ago

[jimmy425]

i would want Adrianople if the game covers that era

[Antissa]

Pydna, Magnesia, Zama, Alesia, Pharsalus, Cannae, Thapsus, and Actium comes to mind.

[RandarKal]

to pick my top 10...

Cannae, Raphia, Carrhae, Alesia, Arausio, Watling Street, Teutoburg Forest, the Muthul, Actium, First Drepana
