Had to give it a shot, the prick is right in the middle of my kingdom! His army is crapping on my land!
I split my forces into 3 groups 2 of which are fairly close. I assumed Hannibal was in a group of archer horsemen. Group 1 off to the side draws 2 groups of them. I let them engage infantry then hit them in the back with 2 groups of light horse. My 2 main forces are in a slight wedge to each other opening up. The keys there are 2 groups of triarii that will run out of the wedge opening to hit his reinforcing archer horsemen from behind. Group 2 triarii supporting group 3, group 3 supporting group 2. Unfortunately my forces were unable to find him so i eventually had to withdraw to his superior forces. It was worth a shot. Losses were about 1:1.

Enjoyed Bioshock (just finished it the other week), Also enjoyed AC 2 but never finshed it due to damn stupid temple areas that are timed...AC Brotherhood changed this, still timed but doesn't matter if you don't make it...it just lets you carry on and gives you a Synch score of 50%, makes no difference to the game...AC2 made you do it again and again and again...I have high hopes for the next AC and Bioshock game.

Status : Offline | My PC fell over last week, so this morning I just finished (barring new GFX card) putting together my new one.
Wife and kids are heading off to UK for a week tomorrow morning, so a full afternoon and evening breaking it in...maybe now powerful enough to run ROF, DCS and even get into double figure framerates on ARMA2. But that last may be wishful thinking.
So I'll likely end up playing ME2, just because I like it.
Plus figuring out what GFX card(s) to put in the box.

Not yet else I'd have gotten another email from them, I'm sure.
Going free-to-play is the best thing they could do. The biggest issue I had with it was the low player population. While I'd always see people about, it'd mostly be in town and only just a couple who were in & out, gettin' business done and gone in a flash. That's how babies are made.

When i first saw EB, i thought i had seen everything, one hell of a mod, but Roma Surrectum is just freaking amazing, feels like a complete different game, the RTW game engine has been stretched to its maximum capacity, ENDLESS REPLAY VALUE...thumbs up for the modding community.

Which one did you get Steelgrave? I haven't tried Korea yet. But I plan on it once they fix a certain error in the patch.

this is the thread about it. The Fireaxis guys know about it apparently and are working on a fix. Nothing serious just an annoying lag that occurs during turns, and you end up waiting until it lets up.

I was also amazed when I loaded up Roma Surrectum 2. Alas, the tactical part of the old Rome TW engine still has it's terrible flaws, which are even more noticeable these days after seeing how they've improved it over time.
I was super excited with the campaign layer.. and then I played a couple battles. I'm done with the RTW engine for good now, seeing as how the best mod ever made for it still can't overcome the tac crappiness. []

Status : Offline | Just scanned all the components for Wings of War "Famous Aces" that came in the mail last week. I'll be working on a ZunTzu gamebox for this so that I can play it online with others. I'm also trying to convince the girlfriend to give it a try - a quick plane on plane dogfight. I think she'll bite come tomorrow.
I'm also thinking that this might work for EveryGame for IOS which would be pretty cool. I haven't made a gamebox for that platform yet but if I can get all the graphics done who knows!
