Title: The Parthian Uprising-An AAR
Post by: CN2 on August 03, 2008, 10:03:21 PM
Things are a bit quiet around here so I thought Id start a new AAR (My first actually) And if I dont do any updates ANNOY me soo much I have to,I want to finish this AAR.

I will be playing as parthia (duuh) and my aim will be to kill the Greeks,Egypt,Armenia,Pontus,The Seluecids and to capture Rome.

The settings will be:

RTW 1.5 No mods (except britain has uber peasants)
VH/H difficulties
Unit scale: large
Arcade off

So lets get started!

I have one about Irainians  :)                                                      

So here we go.

I start my first turn by abandoning Campus Sakae,its just a waste of money and divides my forces.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-27-43-40.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-27-43-40.jpg)

Then I move out our spy to seleucia,with an army following.I plan to hit the the Seluecid empire hard and fast. Say hello to Phillip :)                                                      

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-26-44-59.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-26-44-59.jpg)(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-28-27-04.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-28-27-04.jpg)

I end that turn with a profit off -2000 :D                                                      

Next turn I attack seleucia.We are at war!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-36-18-26.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-36-18-26.jpg)

They are pretty dumb because they moved out all their army except a general,and the gates have been opened by our spy.Did you ever notice that they have been smashed open? he must have a big hammer with him or something :blink:                                                   

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-29-38-15.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-29-38-15.jpg)


I move in my horse archers to attack the general at the plaza.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-33-20-18.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-33-20-18.jpg)

He takes the bait and gives chase to 2 horse archers and my general

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-34-08-67.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-34-08-67.jpg)

Now for a classic sandwhich move,I send in my reserve horse archers.The general goes down in a flurry of purple.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-34-32-96.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-34-32-96.jpg)(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-35-02-78.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-35-02-78.jpg)

Victory!

"Oh look daddy its the Hanging Gardens!" :lol:         

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-36-31-40.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-36-31-40.jpg)

Now I move out our forces to attack the rebel town of Phraaspa,the odds look pretty good :D                                                      

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-37-27-01.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-37-27-01.jpg)

I set up my men,archers on one side and melee on the other.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-38-58-43.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-38-58-43.jpg)

What a terrible site this must be to face!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-40-01-98.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-40-01-98.jpg)

My horse archers are tearing apart the rebels! Its like a grey red carpet for my men.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-40-32-09.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-40-32-09.jpg)

The last charge of a dead man

Victory!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-41-49-06.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-41-49-06.jpg)

Update time!

Ok so here is the world so far.My army is moving out to take Armenia's capital. And I end the turn.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-43-39-07.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-43-39-07.jpg)

Good news :D                                                        Campus Sakae has revolted! That should bring in some money

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-44-08-04.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-44-08-04.jpg)

I end the turn again to make some money and attack,we are at war! I should be able to take the settle ment before another army arrives.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-44-08-04.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-44-08-04.jpg)(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-46-15-71.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-46-15-71.jpg)

Hmm,an army comes out of the trees to attack me,sneaky armenia :ph43r:

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-47-06-68.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-47-06-68.jpg)

I set up my men,this should be a dodle,I have more horse archers and I move them on either side of the armenians

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-49-57-25.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-49-57-25.jpg)

Some peltasts are lured in,easy targets for my general.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-50-18-06.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-50-18-06.jpg)

Its the clash of the cataphracts! But who will win?

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-50-32-92.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-50-32-92.jpg)

Bah!  One of my horse archers is chased and taken down by armenia.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-51-16-20.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-51-16-20.jpg)

Looks like their general made a meal out of my infantry

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-52-22-20.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-52-22-20.jpg)

Fate has been so kind as to let a stray arrow kill the enemy general!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-52-35-18.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-52-35-18.jpg)

I send my general and cataphracts to avenge my infantry,and they do it very well :D                                                       The enemy horse archers also join in big mistake!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-54-53-60.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-54-53-60.jpg)(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-55-29-82.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-55-29-82.jpg)

He goes down in seconds.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-55-32-25.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-55-32-25.jpg)

The last armenian unit...

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/th_RomeTW2008-08-0320-56-06-85.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/RomeTW2008-08-0320-56-06-85.jpg)

Well do I need to explain?  Victory! A heroic one too :D

From about turn 10 onwards I will be using the AUP mod,if Andalus lets me of corse.

Post by: Andalus on August 08, 2008, 08:08:49 PM
Sure, go ahead. I'll be interested to see how it affects your game.
There's only so much testing I can do!

Edit: I've just realised, because I edited the Roman Generals, the game will have no files for the existing early generals in your campaign. I will email you a new file with the old general.

DO NOT start using AUP for this before then or it will be unfixable!

Ok time for another update!

Lets start with a rebel army attacking me,quite a few peasants there.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-27-49-96.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-27-49-96.jpg)

I tell my HA's to attack theirs,they get slaughtered.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-29-55-25.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-29-55-25.jpg)

Next my general takes care of the peasants.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-30-44-06.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-30-44-06.jpg)(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-31-09-25.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-31-09-25.jpg)

They rout and I go after the general. He is taken down. Victory!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-32-17-51.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-32-17-51.jpg)

Bah! my enemies are trying to stop me!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-33-58-26.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-33-58-26.jpg)

So lets soo what this army is

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-34-34-96.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-34-34-96.jpg)

The cheaters! I knew the AI cheated!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-35-59-03.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-35-59-03.jpg)

Well nothing else happens so I end the turn and guess who shows up!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-37-25-54.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-37-25-54.jpg)

I hide some of my men to ambush their flank,but typical the enemy come strait next to my abush force.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-39-36-25.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-39-36-25.jpg)(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-40-48-53.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-40-48-53.jpg)


They have 2 more horse archers than me so this will be hard.I send out my ambush force,you have nowhere to run Mr Horse archers! They are killed by my cataphracts. Now only 2 1/2 to kill as half got away

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-41-33-60.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-41-33-60.jpg)(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-41-45-45.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-41-45-45.jpg)

The eastern infantry is taken down by my cataphracts,easy peasy.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-42-17-12.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-42-17-12.jpg)

I tell my cataphracts to attack the general,but NOOOO! the horse archers join in!  my cattys rout :(

I chase down the other general,but dont quite catch him,damn trees always getting in the way.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-47-03-71.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-47-03-71.jpg)

With all my HA's tied down I cant help my general,nothing to do but attack i suppose....

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-47-18-43.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-47-18-43.jpg)

Well I catch them but for some reason (probaly exaustion) my general routs,which makes my HA's rout :(                                                      

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-48-11-70.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-48-11-70.jpg)

I didnt get the defeat screen because I was too angry...

But the kills were something like this...  
Me: 350 ish
Them:150 ish

Well nothing to do but go for it again...

At least my seleucid army is making progress.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0616-56-27-92.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0616-56-27-92.jpg)

The enemy general goes down.

Time for another update!

So lets go. with the turn ended from the last update the seluecids attack me with a half stack,peasants and militia hoplite,my HA's will gobble them up!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-00-58-29.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-00-58-29.jpg)

I send all my HA's to take out the militai cavalry,they are the only threat in this battle.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-02-22-71.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-02-22-71.jpg)

Its all good with one of the militia cavs being chased down by my general

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-03-52-82.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-03-52-82.jpg)

Gotcha!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-04-03-31.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-04-03-31.jpg)

My HA's rout the enemy general,with mine being mown down by hoplites,I hate doing so much micro management I always forget something...

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-06-12-00.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-06-12-00.jpg)

The hoplited as I said are gobbled up. Victory!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-08-37-89.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-08-37-89.jpg)

They throw another stack at me,its the almost same as the last one!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-09-34-48.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-09-34-48.jpg)

with it being so similar I thought you would not want to see it. we have Victory!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-26-46-62.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-26-46-62.jpg)

I assult Hatra,with the seleucid military down the drain this should be easy.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-28-50-01.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-28-50-01.jpg)

My re-enforcements are almost gere too! with a few friends picked up on the way.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-29-32-53.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-29-32-53.jpg)

This guy seems like a good addition to the family.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-30-43-26.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-30-43-26.jpg)

The seleucids bring up more men,good now I can destroy the garrison too.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-33-15-64.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-33-15-64.jpg)

The hoplites are surrounded and die by sheer arrow power.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-35-37-76.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-35-37-76.jpg)

The general goes down!

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-38-34-09.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-38-34-09.jpg)

Unfortunately ny fraps didnt respond during the rest of this battle battle but the whole army was wiped out,with only abou 10 casulties to myself and the city was taken.

This update finishes with my spy moving to Antioch,another half stack!
I dont know how the eggies destroy their armies,especially since this one has 2 units of elephants in it.

(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/th_RomeTW2008-08-0617-50-22-70.jpg) (http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg12/squash_-_/stuff/stuff2/RomeTW2008-08-0617-50-22-70.jpg)

Tough break having your General rout in that one battle. Once they go it is usually very difficult to pull out a win. Still, in spite of that little bump in the road you have been doing quite well. Is that army from Campus Sakae going to be showing up to finish off Armenia?
