Rome Total War Carthage Chronicles Battle 05
This siege is the first battle in the war against the Gauls. (They started it). Since I was without doubt totally outnumbered. This forced me to use a feature of Rome Total War and a little tactic. So I deployed my infantry in the town center this way they would not rout. Once my forces were engage, I ordered my cavalry that was in a secure place to attack from the back. It was really risky but my attack from behind created a totally routing of the Gauls army is only a few light cavalry lost.

woww. I would have lost that battle (I consentrate my defense at the walls). I must try that tactic when im outnumberd.

By experience defending even stone wall is really a bad deal both in Rome Total War and Medieval II Total War. Defend the center and sometime with one or two phalanx you can hold it against a full army.

i have to say again, good battle hehehehe really good and interesant tactic, i also have to try it
May 15th, 2007 at 12:20 pm
Thanx for the tip, but i will only do that when im outnumberd (to found of combat on the walls
).

Well I nearly alway use that tactic because I rarely ever keep troop to defend city. So I’m alway outnumber.

Not me. I use citys as strong points, so there is always a large army at my frontier citys. And a hard core of citys in the middel of my lands that acts as army produsers (and rebel breakers).

Well I generally ignore rebel, they reduce a little your income but it’s a price i can afford.

Not me, unlike you i dont get mony by piliging citys. So often when a city rebel i taket back, and if it is a large city i exterminate the popualace.
.
Then I earn a shitload of mony of the city

Yeah exterminating the population is indeed a really good way to make the city make a lot of money.

b…b…but it so brutal

Well Charlemagne had trouble with the Saxon province of his empire, they rebelled against him, so the won against the rebellion. Then got back to his business.
The Saxony rebelled a second time, he came back and won against the rebel once again. Then went back to other duty.
The Saxon rebelled a third time. Once again, Charlemagne won against the rebels and he was so frustrated that he made 2000 Saxon nobleman executed in public during 2 days.
The Saxony never rebelled again…
Brutality sometime work…
