    Default Largest campaign battles(pic)

    JUST WOW! I just fought my largest campaign battle yet. I finally got forresters, chosens, and noble cavalry, so I made pretty close to a full stack, and moved south into Italy to unveil my new army to the Romans. I defeated two Brutii stacks with ease, and moved into Brutii territory. While there, on the next turn two FULL Scipii stacks attacked me from behind...the same direction. One was a little far off. Anyways, with huge unit setting, a good PC, and my brand spankin new army, complete with 4 gold sword forresters and a 7 star general. Anyways, i backed my army onto a hill, waited for the forresters to soften them up, and the all out charged everyone after "safeing" the forresters. REALLY cool. Anyways, for the after battle pic.


    Anyone else have any good huge battle pics?
    Btw, one Noble cavalry unit had over 1000 kills....

    Well if you think they are good check the one in the link below. I believe the greeks forces were comprised of elite spartans.

    That's definitely not Res Gestae. It's TE 5.1.

    Yup, TE 5.1.

    I dont have a pic, but I do remember one battle between me and Gaul (in TE 5.1 ). Gaul attacked one of my towns in Italy (i am Rome) with a full stack of mostly Warbands and Swordmen against my 3 units of Rorarii and 1 unit of Velites. I won that battle, killed 3/4 of the Gauls. The sad thing was that I had a wooden wall for a wall.......not a stone wall. Very sad for Gaul I must say....

    Very nice, although I am curious how with 6 fairly healthy cavalry units and the general nearly 10% of the enemy managed to escape?

    I've posted this before, but my fight for Rome in SPQR was my biggest battle. Onagers kill lots of praetorians.

    That's what happens when,
    1. One army is just behind the other (reinforcements), and I have to recall mt cavalry before they crashed into the full Roman army just behind it.
    2. YOur cavalry is close to death by exhaustion.

    The mod i am using is the lastest SPQR mod, and like hokomoko said you just turn minimal ui to true in the preference file.

    Peasants ftw. Seriously, they won the battle for me. here they are chasing the routers.

    Peasants ftw. One peasant unit had over 400 kills.
    Those last two units routed over 1000 very exhausted, battered Hastati and Principi. My general unit had over 1000 kills......and none were routers. Too bad he died. The unit gained 4 xp.....

    That is awsome!
    The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him,

    But because he loves what is behind him.
