One battle in EBII (or perhaps M2TW in general) gives more fun than 20 battles in the Thrones of Britannia. I'm a bit ashamed but it lasted 1,5 hours - I had to micromanage enormously as I play VH/VH and the enemy had cavalry and would really flank my troops (that's amazing! but the general actually charged in the front so it was not so in this part). Eventually, I had comparatively high losses what I think is right.
Anybody can hint if there's a parameter in a file where I can switch off that after-battle-healing ? In this battle, 15% losses were healed.

Here we have the most powerful man in the known world, Mr. Antiochos himself, the Basileus of the Arche Seleukeia... faffing about with his bodyguards, outside his own borders.

I know the AI hates its generals but this is ridiculous

Notes:
1) The roaming army in Gerrha entered the town, probably in reaction to my spy infiltrating or my initial approach with a much smaller army than that 2/3 stack. How they knew about either is anybody's guess

2) There was a small Seleucid army moving in that area before the king, but they ran back when they saw the town's defences.
3) If he doesn't get lost when that area becomes my territory, I'll 86 the old fool, I don't even care
4) I have a lot of dosh because I'm going low army as much as possible, my last campaign I went too high and I had trouble affording to build all the mines.

I guess that's what happens when you pick a historically minor character and forces him to become Gilgamesh.

a weird settlement I found in Italy

Weird settlement in northern Italy, the rebel defenders should be all Celtish; instead here half the defenders are Greeks... what is this last alliance between and Celts and Greeks against the Romans(me)??

[Jurand of Cracow]

Shouldn't they be Ligurian (not Celtish) with some Hellenistic tint?

[tentaku]

Shouldn't they be Ligurian (not Celtish) with some Hellenistic tint?

yes ligurian but i've never seen greek elements there as rebel garrison before though, like the hoplites with orange shield and greek skirmishers.

[_Tartaros_]

are they from massilia?

[tentaku]

are they from massilia?

Not sure if this is directed at my post of northern Italian city with Greek rebel defendants. The city is in northern Italy, not Massilia. Those Greek hoplites with orange shield and Greek skirmishers are usually only seen in southern Italian rebels, so I thought it was weird to spot them in northern Italy.

Some uncropped Sauromatae pngs. By far my favorite faction. Eurasian steppe peoples were savage and epic.

You complain of that? Oh boy, let me tell you this story:

By the way, have you ever had 0% casualties after a battle? My first time

Just had a massive and epic battle in EBII that I want to share, There were more than 10500 soldiers on the battlefield. I had +3000 units (1 army) and the enemy had +7000 units (3 armies).

In order to win I had to create a large barrier with the phalanx in the center and the other units on the flanks with the cavalry doing what Alexander loved to do, destroying the enemy on the flanks, going after all the routing units and performing charges at every chance. There was a time when I really thought that it was the end and I was going to loose, when my left flank (which was weaker) gave up to the pressure of the hundreds of spearmen, chariots and dying friends and started to run away. The only thing that saved me were my elite units that managed to hold the line and some routing units that came back and distracted the pursuing enemy units, avoiding a bigger attack from behind, finally, I sent some skirmishers to fight against the flanking enemy units and prevented my army form a total break. Of course, this required a lot of micromanaging with the cavalry and only near the end did I knew that I was going to win. It was totally worth it!

Looks indeed epic. How much real time did it take?
Obviously, once in the heat of the battle you've forgotten to take pictures.
The number of resurrected troops is interesting: 2000 died/were taken prisoners, but after the battle, your losses were only 1250.

Chirurgeon - never go on a serious campaign without one.

this is the first time I seen historic battle site on map for eb2

[Lusitanio]

It took me around 1h30 minutes to finish the battle but it may have been more. I also played on 0.5 velocity both because it allowed me to better direct the battle and because my pc isn't that great and such high numbers would make the battle to slow and would probably crash.

I actually didn't had a chirurgeon but I had one of those related with that and other ancillarie that reduced casualties.

Tentaku the first time you see a famous battle site in the campaign map?

You had more than one healer type follower with your fm? Interesting.
