[wipeout140]

God that is a discrace..I must try it myself...

Post screenshot then and that was just using the original formation when battle started

[repman]

i have done the contest as mentioned with darth formations 14 in my mod BBW 7.0 and lost




vh is to hard for me

[DARTH VADER]

All too easy I won....and as an evidence I provide the replay file (to be played only with DM_8.0 unmodded)

I am familiar with my mod you see...but you must unlearn what you have learned up to now and will succeed

[Storm_Kronos]

Hmmm, what map was that ? was not flat , u took some terrain advantage, make sure is plaines 2 terrain , u sure u setts were in very hard ???? look like normal difficulty , no cheating pls, MAKE SURE BATTLE IS IN VERY HARD SETS

Here 1 of my replay battle

[repman]

i replayed the challenge now in your mod and my defeat was close. Then i replayed it in my mod with your formations and it was again a crushing defeat for me as above

The Setup for Juli:



The Setup for Scipi:



Only thing i did was move slingers forward and change them to close formation for better control.

[DARTH VADER]

I played it on Darth_flats or Darth_plains1 as I can remember...
VH settings, no chevron bonuses to all..just plain
For sure I did not cheat. That is why I provided the replay...for verification.

I just used mobile tactics.

(Watch how timed are my plia-charges, 2-3 target the same unit at once....the poor cannot stand it. (Napoleonic tactic adapted from Romans of course)
My expendable skirmishers are used to annoy the AI cavalry so as to chase them and leave mine do my flanking procedure.
I covered my flanks whatsover with skirmishers and AI could not succeed in flanking me as he got missile harrash

Plain tactics but not sure If I could do ths with more chevrons and other composition of army.

[The Black Reaper]

omg i cant believe i resisted the dark side for this long... i can feel the power inside of me!!!!! also this is the first time i lost more then a close defeat.... great formations..... the ai spread the whole formation out and even spread out their velites before the skirmishing started...

[imthefrgt10]

the whoel strategy behind this battle isnt force its initiative if you see a chance to get behind them do it dont hesitate and youll win wish i had taken a screen shot of my victory oh well off ti fight it again lol

[The Black Reaper]

lol i took my general cav and ran them around to attack the back BUT they were murdered by the velites so thats when i knew i lost

[imthefrgt10]

well after like 4 tries i believe my victory was luck now lol i have an idea to winning

[The Black Reaper]

lol.... winning on this mod always changes every battle.... but i hate it when some units like freeze and wont move even when you tell them to run... then they get massacred...

[imthefrgt10]

yeah but the thing i hate id defensive modes, it should auto change to fit a situation.

[imthefrgt10]

the closest thing ive had to a win so far lol

[draknar]

imthefrgt10

So close, yet still a lost.
