Rome Total War Carthage Chronicles Battle 01
Since I’m on a kind a “vacation” from gaming in general, I think I will comment the Carthage Chronicles, I never really gave much tactical explanation on this original Campaign Chronicles.
This battle was the first of the game maybe on the turn 2 or 4. When you play Carthage in Rome Total War, really important to take control of Sicily as fast as you can and this battle is part of that effort. The elephant are as you can see in that battle a really important part of the strategy when well combines with light cavalry. Those troop combinations allow delivering a strong punch, the elephant open the enemy rank and the cavalry keep the pressure, making the enemy army more likely to flee.
But as you can see, they also are a risk to your own troop and can become out of control, when it happen you are in big trouble, so make your troops flee the elephant to reduce casualties.
The Carthaginian infantry isn’t very good at start, that’s why I keep my main infantry in the back and make most of the job without them. The weakness of the infantry is well demonstrated by the fact that my infantry broke when fighting the enemy general.
This first battle opened the way to kick the Romans out of Sicily.
