1. Rome Total War

2. Germania

3. I was transferring a new general across my territory to the front line to attack my army with. He was ambushed by some Gauls. So I had to fight with 1 horse unit against a huge army of spearmen, archers and peasants. I would charge one unit at a time in quick hit and runs, it scared the hell out of the enemy and they kept retreating then coming back. I kept doing this and was making the enemy units smaller and smaller, while taking few casualties myself. Eventually my General died but I essentially took out a huge army of 1.5k infantry with one unit of horsemen.

4. I don't have any mods but the LOTR one looks awesome.

5. aaand this is me trolling around with my oliphaunts I got through a cheat.

favrite total war game: RTW

favrite faction: macedon/Seleucids.

i won a 450 vs 2200.
details. aprox 1500 were reinforcements for the enemy and the rest were in a fortress. i launched fireballs from my catapult taking allmost all of them out. they ran around trying to dodge my fire blasts in vein. after they were worn out they ran to the flag. i ordered my catapults to blast the gate open. after it was open i sent my cavalry in and they harassed the very tired enemy at the flag a little taking out 2 units. after the 1400 reinforcements arrived they chased my 1 unit of cavalry around the edge of the wall untill they were tired. after they were tired they went to the flag where i send 2 units of fresh troops to fight about 5 units of very tired troops. there were still about 10 units that after 1 round were not completely tired. near the gate where i send all my army in. i set my melee units up front and had 2 archer units up back. my cavalry with the general was still fresh and had not been used. the 10+ units of allmost completely tired units advanced. a voley of flaming arrows and a charge of cavalry sent them back. runing with not more than 15 men left in there unit. i repeated. voley of arrows. then cavalry charge right after the voley and had my cavalry retreat just in time for the next round of fire arrows. i repeated untill there 10+ units with about 15 men all fled and my 1 unit of cavalry chased them all down. then my 2 melee units fighting the 5 units were losing. they could take out 3+ but they were slowly all dying. they could not kill that vast of an army. so i ordered them to run back and my archers rained fire on them. my cavalry after they ran down all of the enemy made a cavalry charge to the rear. or side i cant remember. this was when i was playing rome julii family.
another battle i did was with war elephants. took out 800 troops with 2 units of militia pike men and 1 unit of elephants as macedon. there were 3 units my pike men were fighting. my elephants charged from the rear. they moved there 3 units into the area of 1 unit and my leading elephant used its AOE throw everybody into the air move and it threw about 200 troops into the air that died in 1 rear charge.
 
Medieval total war 2

Scotland. Not very good units but a fun campaign :3

My Scottish army was just going to finish off hamburg occupied by the Danes when of course the Holy Roman Empire declares war on me. They march a stack of fresh troops to take on my weakened troops outside hamburg. On a field of rolling plains and a small forest. I had my ranged troops fire on their heavy swordsman as there ranged wasted their time on my archers. They charged my line and my archers pulled out almost destroyed. They charged into me and two of my units to the side broke as they were peasants and they were feudal knights.

Then I brought out my salvation. The two generals bodyguard units in the forest. They were numbering 25 each but as they charged into the back of the roman line they broke and there army fled as my cavalry charged into all of them. I ran them down for the most part and took the nearby city of Frankfurt as it was unguarded. :3

TATW.

No pics ATM on ipad :3
 
1. M2TW, all expansions, or Empire: Total War.

2. England has OP archers and melee, but Russia is a hard, yet fun campaign. Or Denmark on Tectonic Campaign.

3. Imagine 10 armies. 3 Danish, one Novgorod, rest was Lithuanian. I was Denmark, and I was wrecking everyone when a massive horde of pagans came out of Vilnius. A single army of Novgorod was with them. I faced them on a bridge, and I had a secret weapon.... Gunpowder. I lined all my melee at the end of the bridge, and placed the muskets on the side. My few units of archers were placed behind my melee. As the enemy crossed, AI reinforcements for both Denmark and Lithunia arrived. Novgorod was crushed by friendly fire, and a volley of musket fire. 10 minutes later, a desperate battle erupted on the bridge. It was a massacre. Heavy infantry for Denmark, some of my finest units, vs hordes of lightly armored infanry and a few heavies. The battle ended after two IRL hours of war. Thousands had died, but my general, whom I bribed from Novgorod, got a new retinue. Marco Polo. 15%+ Movement area and 5%+ area revealed. Worth all the death.

4. Favorite mod: TATW. Stupid question...

No pics, sadly.

Does it cost monnnneyy?[/quote]

No, it's just a extremely popular strategy series that has been alive for 15 or so years. It's about as popular, if not more popular than the accursed COD series, and has countless mods. So clearly it's free.


It's not free.
