Total War Campaign Reports

Yeah, that did the trick. Unfortunately, RTW looks a bit old these days. Attack of the clones.

Never tried EB, but for what I read, it's alot better than RTR and I loved RTR.

I guess that wasn't the best way to introduce it, huh

Well, if you say to the SH3 players that dont have GWX that they suck how would they stand against the mod? Are they like ''you're right I'm installing it now''
they would rather tell you to shuff it up your arse and they're gone.
sorry, but what said above really pissed me off.

simple fact that I play my Game , my way and no-one is going to tell me that I SUCK because I dont play it the way they or the mayor percentage of a community does.

you RECOMMEND a MOD , not tell people they SUCK if they dont play it.

anyway back to my stock campaign,

no where did the fat newsreader go....

there he is:


People of the Julii!
Our allied Brutii atacks the city of patavio, but with the size of army they use they will never have a victory...
that's why our General and his men decided to leave the town of Segesta and becomes in command of a gran army. They marched to the city of patavio to fight a grand battle to take over the city with combined forces! this is the first battle where 2 families of Rome are involved with.

...

Okido like told above
I saw a chance in taking over patavio, or at least to get rid of the threat that armies could be created from there and attack my cities.

so I lay siege right next that of brutii army...but the next turn the brutii breaks off.
the Gauls see a chance and attack my army, I first fled to the open and then I accepted the challenge.

it was 1529 (me) versus 2271 (them)



as you can see on the minimap (left bottom corner) I had 2 groups of Cavalery on each side hided in the forest, I knew they will use some units to attack the flanks of my front line...they did and when they charged I attacked them in the rear which inflicted a lot of damage that they fled away. which caused a chain reaction and got all enemy units on the run.

the results:



Translation in the report:

Men Deployed - Men killed - Survivors

I chased the gauls till the very last one.

Next move, re-siege Patavio!



Stormed throught the gates:



with succes I took over the city of Patavio,
this even shocked the gauls so much that they accepted a Cease fire.

a time to rest and rebuild at last.....

not!

they lay sieged on Masalia just a season after the cease fire was called!
I was in minor numbers! 3000 vs 1000 poorly equiped Hastati
they took the town with ease, as they rammed 4 holes in the city walls and killed both my generals living there....

this means TOTAL WAR!
The Gauls asked for it now, I will invade france and I will not stop till the last Gaul is lying to rot on the battlefield!

You've never played MTW or even Shogun then

[stabiz]

No, RTW was my first TW.

I believe that an apology is in order to everyone I offended.

I sincerly apologise and I hope I hadn't caused too much harm.

I agree I could have picked a better tactic, yet you must understand. For a GWX player, vanilla SH3 is blasphemy, for an EB player, vanilla RTW looks worse than torture, so in a way, you must understand the pain your images caused me. Those hastati look like... I won't even finish.

Go try EB if your computer is up to it. You'll then agree with me on my previous statement.

[Dowly]

O'm ok Respenus. I think it's in the eye of the beholder how they take it. I didnt find it offensive as I doubt you meant it literally.

[Biggles]

Thing is, everyone should have their own opinion right?

I don't think vanilla SH3 is blasphemy just because I've played GWX. It's not as good, but if people don't want to dl. the huge GWX files for this or that reason, it's fine by me.

If people don't like GWX, or even hate it, it's up to them.

As to this R:TW mod you're talking about, I do not know what it is, and I doubt I'll try it.

Ok.....just getting caught up here with this thread.

Nice of you to do this ^^^^^
At the end of the day folks should have the opportunity to play the game the way they want, no harm done in doing so. Although the " you suck " post was not ill intended, sometimes using large fonts to get the point across can have the opposite effect.

Anyway, looks like this one is back on track despite this slight road bump.

@Respenus:

Apology accepted.

be a bit carefull to introduce a Mod towards player that havent got a clue.
Like myself. the ''you suck'' expresion was like slapping a fish in me face.

as a GWX player myself, I laugh at the stock game when I have it installed on my computer before I install GWX over the top. So I get your point, but I also keep in mind that players play other mods or the stock game still (as they havent got a clue, PC requirements or download speed), and I leave them in their respect and their screenshots/reporst are just as worth viewing/reading as mine.

[Respenus]

I'm glad you all accepted my apology. I shouldn't have used big letters. It was meant as a friendly pat on the back and more of a friendly "you suck".

We learn from our mistakes and I'm sure I won't repeate this one.

Now you can all return to RTW posting.

I welcome you to visit the link I gave you and enjoy novel-like AARs that I'm sure you'll enjoy.

[LaughingSwordfish]

I will try out a new mod for RTW, Roma Surrectum after reading positive reviews at http://twcenter.net. It looks promising with recruitable governors/generals and named legions and it runs faster than Europa Barbarorum. I will miss the latin voices though.

Playing RTW without Europa Barbarorum is like masturbation to marriage. Take that as you will.
