    Sometimes when you read about big battles, you see: "and at the last moment, commander sent his fresh cavalry, hidden in the back, such a tactical genius!". Looking at Jon, I think they may just simply forget they have cavalry standing around.

Many of you know i would not take up a battle with uh... theses odds if it wasn't of the utmost importance, we are up against the man who killed Marcus the Gambler, the fool the eastern traitors call emperor Luca the Cunning.

      @enzoalmirante6169 5 років тому +8

      This ^. Fire arrows are amazing in bridge battles when you’ve covered your end of the bridge: enemy won’t be able to charge straight through and as you pelt them from the side with the flaming arrows, they get a moral debuff and usually end up breaking en masse. This tactic’s saved me a lot when even when the enemy outnumbers me.

Though not the most Christian emperor (that honor goes to Spurius Flavius Vatinius Occidentalem, also known as the "The Most Christian Emperor who ever Christianed"), he was beloved and seen, because of his great cunning, as a beacon of hope for our homeland. Licianus Alimentus, the man who personally slew our beloved ruler, has been honored by a triumph where he personally carried the stolen eagle of Luca's army in Aquincum where he proclaimed the vengeance of St. Marcus the Gambler, taking Marcus as a cognomen in order to profess the late gambler as his patron saint.

      Siege Towers are built during the Siege from nearby forests, in 305BC Siege of Rhodes, Towers were 135 feet by 67 feet. They only got better over time, so I guess accuracy depends on how tall you think the game makes towers and walls.

    I was yelling about the damned heavy cav you sent against peasants instead of cutting off the end of the bridge irl.

    "It's a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining, flowers are blooming...on days like this, Emperors like you...should be burning in hell..." Addendum: Finally, the shield wall gets used. There's not much reason to NOT use it since the whole point of the unit is to hold the line. I guess it slows them down, but that shouldn't matter unless they're in a hurry. Addendum: Maybe my Undertale reference was more astute than I thought... Addendum: Megalovania really fit that battle when played it over it (Not that it's ever unfitting for anything).

    When Jon said "Deploy the Camels" I just had this mental image of them being rained in by catapult, Monty Python style.

    Are there legion nicknames for all settlements? Like I know there are unique ones for specific cities but how bout for cities like Syracuse?

    • @martinlopezhowe
      @martinlopezhowe 5 років тому

      Every region on the map has a legion nickname, with certain nicknames applying to a group of provinces. If you want to see them for yourself, you can find them in the game files, in data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.
      A Syracusan legion's nickname, for example, would be Siciliae. The Traiana legion that Jon fought against was unique to Egypt, also.

    People are saying Jon didn't notice his Salmatians. While that's true, they did have the little icon that IIRC meant they were hidden. The absolute madmen hid so well even Jon didn't notice them.

    "Licianus Alimentus is not a coward!"
    Lets see, he spent most of the battle in the back line and only really moved into combat to take on 4 weakened units with his body guard entourage! Sure the overall battle was winning against a much larger force but he's no Marcus the Gambler!

      Matt Evans not yet they’ll have at least 3 more full stacks to come if my Frankish one is anything to go by, they threw everything at aquincum but the city held to the very end. By the end of it all archers had to get into hand to hand combat for me as I ran out of infantry
