A Pyrrhic Victory
Playing as Epirus, I've had a lot of fun so far. Macedon was getting pretty strong, so I decided to attack.
My troops: A full stack, mostly the units I started off with in my homeland. My Italian operations have been hugely successful, and that campaign has been completely seperate than this one. So while two family members were in my full stack, Pyrrhus was not there. I had those 2-silver experience skirmishers, very valuable in the fight ahead. My army was capable, but I only had a couple pikemen and a handful of normal phalanxes with some light cavalry.
Macedon tries to break up my siege with it's own full stack. Mostly pikemen, a few family members and cavalry. I had some problems; I couldn't take on the pikemen head on, because my men were normal phalanxes and not pikemen. But with some maneuvering, I had a chance.
The results of the battle: Absolute carnage. I have never fought a more intense battle in all of my experiences.
I won, but it cost me almost 2/3 of my army and a family member.
Another such victory, and I shall be utterly undone.
And this is not a different angle, this is just a little bit off screen from the first image.
The best part? I captured a city!
Oh yeah, and when I clicked "Exterminate" all the while thinking, "That'll pay you back you little bastards" Rome crashed.
******* G****mnit Mother******* son of a *****
This is still the most exciting mod I've ever played, I've had a great time so far. I think it was more of a problem with Rome than the mod, as far as the crashing goes. It had been acting funny. But great job on the mod, well done! I highly sugguest it to everyone.
