*NERD RANT ALERT!*
On a side note, today, i tried the game Rome: Total War. And i can finally say that i have found THE game for me. People who know me well know that i love to use tactics and thoughts in my games. Some might say "warcraft" or "starcraft" or other equally epic RTS games, but the truth is, i usually suck at them. They're too fast paced for me to use tactics. I usually end up bunching a whole group of the best units and lump them at the enemy with zero tactics whatsoever.
Rome: Total War (not the latest in the total war series) is awesome in the sense that, outside of battle, you play it like you would any Civilizations game. In battle however, it becomes somewhat like a lord of the rings movie. And if you have the right tactics and strategy, you can easily defeat 600++ troops with 300 of your own. This is probably the first time i found myself so deep in thought in any game, as i figured out how best to turn the tide, or decisively stomp the enemy.
The best battle i had had to be the aforementioned 300 vs 600 war. With 4 squads of light infantry, 1 archer squad and my general unit. I split the 4 squads of light infantry, 2 by 2. The enemy took my bait, splitting into 2 too. With the troops in front of my general unit cleared, he charged towards the opposing commander and started battling it, but i knew i was gonna lose. my general had far less body guards. i took 1 infantry squad and maneuvered it behind the opposing commander and caught him in a pinch. Succesfully, i defeated him, dropping the morale of the enemy, but the job was not done.
I was still crazily outnumbered. I positioned my remaining 3 infantry squads into a semi circle, with the archer in the centre, well protected. My general unit went around the back of the enemy as they busied themselves with the infantry and slowly took them out. And with that, i won. True, when i was done, i was only left with half my general squad and 1 quarter of the archers. But i had won. It was truly a moment that made me laugh out loud, and pump my fist into the air, knowing that i had won because of my tactics, and not rushed head on like a fool.
gosh, i'm such a dork.
