Back in Rome I was playing egypt and had begun invading Greece and Italy. I had swept the the Peloponese and Attica and taken the next northward city, Thessalonica I think. The Greek Cities struck back, pinning a small but elite army in the city. Of the next few years I was attacked every turn by one or two full stacks of Armored Hoplites. I left a breach in the wall setting up a long alley of approach, at the end of which I posted my three remaining catapults, guarded in front by singular units of Pharaoh's Guard and Nile Spearmen, about 120 archers were posted on the walls above and to the left and my general and a unit of Chariot Archers were in a plaza to the right. The bronze clad greeks advanced into my ally, were blasted by catapult fireblasts, pelted by arrows and broken on my veteran spears. Eventually i got my mobile chariot army on the scene to secure the countryside and break the siege. They were many, I was few, but loosing a family member\general in Rome just isn't acceptable. The metal from all that greek armor would have made a great monument for the glory of the Pharaoh.
(gifted into submission ftw).
