Historical Battles - Proposals
« on: February 28, 2014, 12:46:46 PM »
In this thread you can propose historical battles you would like to see in the mod. Ideally, state the name of the battle and give a brief summary of it, so that other people can know what is about.

Battle of Sellasia 222 BC

See other thread. Achaian League & Macedon in the plain attacking two Spartan armies on two fortificated hills.

Battle of Zela August 2, 47 BC

Pontos vs Rome. On his way back from Egypt Gaius Julius Caesar faced a rebellion of Mithridates' son Pharnaces II against Roman overrule. Pharnaces was able to - perhaps the only person ever to do so- take Caesar by surprise and attacked the Roman lines while they were still forming on a hill position. But the legionary lines, together with their feroucious Galatian mercenary allies, held firm and repelled the attack, crushing both the Pontic army and Pharnaces' dreams of rebuilding his father's empire at once. After the battle, Caesar set down and wrote a letter to his friend Amantius in Rome, describing the events laconically: ,, Veni, vidi, vici.''

I'd like to see the battle of Cannae, Hannibal's masterpiece, although it could be hard to replicate in-game.

Battle of Panium, Seleucids vs Ptolemy's battle in which Seleucid use of their Cataphracts was at its finest.
