Total War Campaign Reports

Okie then. Well, I'm still yet to reinstall CAE to my MTWII. Instead, I stick with the Road To Jerusalem for awhile as I have a campaign going on as the Holy Roman Empire. This time, I decided to break all my traditions and try the speedy approach. Took 2 rebel cities in the first 6 turns, all my cities are very well defended and I'm thinking of starting a war with Denmark (They are real twats atleast in the stock game, so better take them out ASAP). Oh and economy is blooming too.

I'm still playing RTW from time to time. Still a great game.

Those Danes are really annoying in the early parts of the game, their infantery is ace.

Hear me, citizens of Rome, the foul gaulish is yet again attacking the city of Mediolanio just after a season! the city is under heavy siege lets hope the captain will hold! Hold strong, there wont be 1 gaulish barbaric soldier who ever will lay a hand on this brave captain! this was Julii News for this afternoon, tune in tommorow for more!

...

Alright now back to the real thing...
thing is I get sieged just after taking this darn city of Mediolanio, defending is my speciality I had only the gaulish heavy cavalery to worry about.

in the start it was going like the book:

but luck wasnt on my side, as soon the generals heavy cavalery came inside my men where pushed backwards to make more room for gaulish troops and they cut the head of my Captain, and lost the village.

I really start to get pissed of by these Gaulish....

but right after the Turn I had the thing I needed to take the village back
a fresh army! with 1 General(gold star) and a Son(silver star) who came of age to become a general.
no matter what Mediolanio will be MIIIIIINE!

and I took it, I killed the general of the gauls.
lost about 150 men in this fight but they lost all their ~400 men!

a better look, now Patavio!

As much as M2TW was good, RTW was better, though i never did manage to win as either the Seleucid Empire or the WRE (In BI)

Aye, I like them both. The gameplay is pretty much identical, only the era changes.

On the other news. DANG, I love night battles fought in forest! Looks so nice to watch it all from high above. All those torches flicker behind the trees as the armies march forward and all of a sudden you see flaming arrows fly above the treetops. Just beautiful.

I always get my generals involved in the fighting rather than sit back and watch. Gets them more experience and stars to be able to attempt night attacks.

If you have a city that has the plague, recruit a spy then send him with the plague into your enemies city.........
