*NERD RANT ALERT*

"Light infantry 2, move down the right flank to intercept those greek Phalanxes from reaching the General Heavy Cavalry."

"Archer 4, move behind Light Infantry 2 and lend them supporting fire."

"Light Cavalry 1, charge the greek horsemen to scatter them. Spearmen infantry 5, move up and finish them off."

"General Heavy Cavalry and all remaining cavalry units, chase after the fleeing enemies to wipe them out for the win."


Those are some thoughts that i had from a particular battle in Rome: Total War today, which suddenly feels sorta like Code Geass' LeLouch/Zero in his first battle after getting his powers.

Great game. Its very difficult to play, imo, because the economy bit is hard to manage, but in battle, sometimes it's a walk in the park, but against like a 10 star general, even if your troops outnumber his, you might find yourself in deep trouble as they try to flank you, charge you down to scatter your formation, circle behind you, etc etc.

I'm downloading Hellgate London. I think it sucks, but hey, when you don't have games to play, you can't afford to be choosy.
