Hold it right there! Armenia loses infantry, they are no soldiers.  :)

If I may suggest a nation for the next LP, I suggest Dacia. Since someone did thrace on the forum before, and Dacia is hard. It's also never played as.

They will if you throw enough arrows at them.

I think you mean Tetsudo here. Except if you modded your game to have legionaries in Tuxedo, which would be friggin' awesome.

Damn. I always used "Tortoise Formation" so I had to look up on wikipedia to check if it was "Testudo" or "Tetsudo". And I still got it wrong.

Let's put it this way for Numidia.

Carthage: Much better units, can easily crush them.

 Egypt: Not only will you have to deal with Carthage, but you'll have to deal with Egypt, who's strategy is sending full stacks at you. Also their units are better and IIRC you only have one city next to them.

 Well, the problem is there's !!FUN!!, but you'll never win. If there was a list of factions least likely to win Numidia would get second. The first being Spain who have no hope in hell of winning.

You should watch out what you're saying, Nuthulu the Sterile! If people decide that Spain is the most hopeless nation in the game, i will play Spain. Fine by me.
Bull warriors are pathetic from what i remember, Spanish cavalry sucks balls, they have no archers, no phalanx.. I'd be using mercs alot..
But keep in mind that factions such as Spain get boring very fast. VERY fast. You reach the top of their tech tree in round 5.

I have tried Thrace on VH/H, and by 265 had 11 provinces, great income and open doors for world domination. Sure i was at war with everyone by then, but i had full confidence that my troops can take them on.

At any rate. Working on :


A very chaotic update in which i kept hitting "Break" instead of PrtSc... I wonder if i should post my general battle plan (made in Paint) with the update. Would clear things up greatly.

I am not sure if i manage to edit it today - a busy Saturday it was - so i'm listening.

Oi

Stick with them Armenians for now. We have ways to go.
Martian Reform hits any moment now.
(also, Brittania is actually a not bad faction)

This is an example tactic screen about which i was talking.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Last, but not least.. Since the B, C and E vote appear to be TIED (Voltron has 1 vote on B an 2 on C) i will probably do all three things at once. Strike Egypt from two sides, take Anatolian Peninsula, crush the entire east, profit... In theory.

 Still, there is some time left for voting. To be more specific : Till the next update.

Wouldn't it work better with fake legionaries? From what I remember from fighting Armenia, those were pretty much the best infantry they had.
