My first year as Roman consul

[merlin19]

Beginning of this horror seemed like every other attempt to play Romani campaign but at last season of 272 Phyrros himself decided to come for save of Taras i siegedand my starting army of 2000 smth got overwhelmed by 2700+ huge army with about 5 Phalanxes.
After killing assload of enemies I gave up and returned to my quicksaved game 2 turn earlier, I sent Blasio to counter the threat of Epeirote king but in first new attempt he died, while I won(due to Phyrros following him due to heroic efforts of my 2 halfdead equites units) losing only 500 men, game however crashed and I imagined it to be Blasios dream warning to not clash with Phyrros until he had met my Triarii, I crushed Phyrros easily but er managed to escape
Now with my 75% of remaining army witch had meanwhile avoided slow phalangites, to crush those last remaining units, they however proved suprisingly resilient and I had to use wast amount of tricks before I managed to rout first and than second phalanx, than my last surviving 25% got overwhelmed by last 2 nearly healthy phalanxes and I had close victory due to timer
Chirurgeon managed to save about half of army but next I had to face army of another thousand men so I had enough, victory didnt feel right +also it was around seven at morning and I had to go to school

anyway why are soldiers still in high morale when general flees, we all know what happened when Anthony left from Actium to chase Cleopatras skirt

Depends. Some of the soldiers might not even know. Others might be winning their battle.

What kind of monster are you to play EB before seven at the morning!? I feel like a superhero when I manage to wake up at eight..

Either you're playing on very hard battle difficulty or you're seriously incompetent commander. Pyrrhos had only 5 phalanx units and I am assuming the rest were light skirmishers? And they managed to kill your 2000 strong Roman army and your faction leader? How did you let that happen? Haha seriously, the AI is dumb. Take advantage of it.
