Re: OT: Rome Total War

Another thing.
I just played a battle in my game....it was the fight for Carthage in
the scenario. The Roman army was full of Praetorian Cohorts, Urban
Cohorts....almost exclusively made up of them.
Just a note: The Praetorian and Urban cohorts are the STRONGEST
infantry in the game. They decimate everything and have equal stats as
the Spartans in the game, if not more. Put anything in front of them
and they will destroy it.

My army was made up of my general, about 8 Armoured elephants, rest
was all Cataphract cavalry.
I put my elephants in front....deciding to use them as an assault
team, while the cavalry would come up later if the elephants got in
trouble or as a clean up team.

Well...battle started...and I was amazed to see....
My 8 elephant battalions totally DESTROYED the Romans. Every single
one of them. Casualties on my side? 0. That's ZERO.
My cataphracts just stood there.
2000 bodies on the battlefield. All Romans.

The Armoured elephants are the STRONGEST unit in this game. I mean...I
knew elephants were strong and all...but this is crazy..

Come on! :) Start playing this so we can compare notes.
