i love that game.. i am definitely an archer whore though ill set up a few deep lines of praetorian cohorts, a heavy cavalry unit or two, then just blast the crap out of them from a distance until they feet compelled to charge... best way to sack a town is to just set 6 groups of archers outside the walls and waitsrm79 said:I love watching the battle playing out in Rome: Total War.
Best moment ever? Just last night actually, I was ambushed by Gauls near Aquileia in dense forest. The Hastati were engaging the enemy from the front and pinning them in place while Principes and Auxiliary cavalry troops were moving to flank.
I noticed one solitary Hastati had ended up at the back of the enemy formation - how exactly I do not know. As I watched, this dude ran up behind the Gauls faction leader and stuck a sword in his back before heroically running off. Enemy line crumbled instantly and I think maybe 3 enemy troops made it off the battlefield alive. Said unit has now been returned to Rome where I intend to keep them permanently stationed as a mark of recognition of the sheer awesomeness of that unknown soldier.
Any Rome players wondering where the hell Aquileia is, or why I already have the city of Rome prior to the Marian reforms should google "Rome: Total Realism"
nothing pisses an enemy off more than launching 10 nukes at once 45 minutes into a supcom game )

I completely forgot the single most amusing unit in the game. Incendiary Pigs. Fucking hilarious every single time. So far I don't know if they appear in Total Realism though. On the bright side, no sign of those stupid War Dogs yet. I hate those things.mrdude2010 said:
Also, if you have an enemy using elephants, hit them with your missile troops. You will kill the entire unit every time with one or two triple-bronzed or silver chevroned Velite squads. It's more fun to let the last two or three escape though as they usually fly into a blind panic and run amok through their own lines inflicting massive losses. Utter class. Archers also work well against the elephants although they aren't so easy to get in Total Realism without conquering Crete first.
i love incendiary pigs lol i basically waited until i had massive amounts of them, then just set them loose in tunisia and waited hahaha i really do dislike elephants though because when they're in that blind rage they're extremely difficult to kill, so if you have unfortunately slow moving units anywhere near the rampaging buggers your units are boned... still an amazing game thoughsrm79 said:
Dawn of War. Nuff said.
I have to admit that sometimes when I'm moving the line of guardsmen forwards into a huge enemy force I probably have a maniacal grin on my face.
I love the synchronized melee kills too. Seeing a bloodthirster cleave an avatar's head clean off or watching a dreadnought barbeque some poor sod's face before throwing them to the floor is just brilliant.
C&C superweapons are more of my favourites. Nothing says I win like a barrage from a proton collider.

There's one mission in Dawn of War Dark Crusade where you start with a large number of armoured vehicles and heavy infantry, and you have to destroy all of the enemy buildings on the map. The catch is that you can't build any more units. As the space marines you start with two land raiders, multiple dreadnoughts, predator tanks, whirlwind artillery, and terminator squads, as well as assorted other units and your honour guard. I pioneered a new tactic while fighting the orks during that battle. "The emperor's steamroller."
I usually just love watching how battles unfold in End War.
See, me and a friend had both gotten the game, so we decided to skirmish against eachother in a quick match.
All hell broke loose once one of us got ahold of the WMD's. But, thats pretty where the skirmish ended.

I love coming back and winning in a multiplayer match. Or coming back and winning at all, I guess.
Today in StarCraft II, the enemy Terran destroyed one of my side bases, and then swept into my main base because I expanded way too quickly and had little forces. However, I managed to quickly build the T2-spawning buildings elsewhere before they and their prerequisites were destroyed. I built up a force to counter the enemy with my multiple bases (thank God for the Zerg Queen), but we were both left with almost nothing after went on the offensive. After that I basically just waited it out, building a bigger, better army than him since I controlled most of the map.

Civilization. I had total military dominance and was ready to nuke anyone who stepped. I had established the UN as saying, Hey I will compromise. Then Gandhi went for the space age and I nuked him back to the stone age.
Playing Hearts of Iron II, making my own wars is fun
Like this one time playing as Japan I invaded Australia. It was a pretty quick war
Or as Finland take over the entire Scandinavia area

My most recent great moment was watching my general in a game of Medieval Total War 2 (a Warhammer mod, i was the Empire and the enemy was orcs) go from having a single bronze experience point to having 3 gold just from running down the enemies routing army. His unit got 800 kills that day.
Also playing a 1v1 on C&C Generals zero hour. I was playing the American Super weapon general and my opponent was the Chinese tank general. I managed to get 32 super-weapons. The fool kept sending overlord tanks at me. My turrets disable your tanks fool! That means a can turn a highly expensive super tank into a pile of scrap in a single shot.

I like how you roll. I'm exactly the same. In every RTS game I've played the deployment has been my favourite part.DuplicateValue said:
For the topic my most momerable fight was in Medieval 2: Total War where my polish dismounted nobles and crossbow militia destroyed the superior forces in the siege battle of Antioch. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m45/Sampsa_2006/tasa-1.jpg
