[Delta Foxtrot]

Works for me.

[Mech#4]

@Stworca: Glad you like it. Such slaughter reminds me of one battle I had.

It was in Barbarian Invasion, and I was playing as the Goths vs the Huns. I had about 3 stacks of Hun cavalry sieging one of my towns with a few infantry, one general and 2 or 3 other cavalry units.
I realised I had no chance to defend the town if the Huns breached the wall, so I sent my general and the cavalry outside to die valiantly. This caused the enemy forces to reform their line, and I saw their general split from the masses. The rest of the battle saw me charging my dwindling cavalry all around the enemy forces picking off their generals, which they had about 5-6 of.
After frantic attempts to keep the chain routing going I ended up managing to forge a victory with some stupidly high number of deaths that I wrote down somewhere. It was something like 300 of mine to 12000 of theirs.

Cavalry are really nasty in Rome: Total War. I think partly because they don't really slow down or stop charging even when they're exhausted.

I think they're more deadly in Medieval. Especially given the phalanxes and fucking legionaries (man, how DO they work?).

Updated the thread up until part 63 (SPECIAL!)

Four major battles, including combat usage of peasants. Can peasants cause a chain rout? Let's find out!

The End has begun.

It took me some time, but i've finally updated the thread. We won. The deed is done. Took about 30ish hours, so much longer than expected.

Thank You all for watching, and Mech for ze Art.
For those interested, i'm continuing with a modded Thrace run on youtube, but i believe Bay12 had enough Total War from me.
