Rome Total War German Chronicle 66 The Siege of Salona



The Siege of Salona is a relatively not important siege from a campaign point of view, because it is a minor city, but it had a lot of Brutii troops in it. By winning this battle I made a good "defensive" move by preventing any siege on my cities by those Brutii troops.

From a tactical stand point, I think that battle is a very well executed siege. One interesting aspect of it is my use of the Chosen Axeman as a distracting force to gain some time to deploy my phalanxes. As you might also notice, my phalanxes didn't really form well due to some kind of bug... but they still did what they had to do.

As for you graphic card that not very amusing indeed, what 3d card you got?

a descr i think not too sure it say when i try and play it i need one with a pixel shader 1.1

Attila said...

hmm, if your card doesn't support pixel shader 1.1 it must be at least a 2 or 3 years old!

Might be time to buy a better one =)
