Rome Total War German Chronicle 74 Sieged on the far East

This battle show the effectiveness of the V formation when you know where the enemies will come from. So the interesting thing in that battle is not soo much the battle itself but why the gate was open.

The Reason is very simple. The enemy had a spy in my city that opened it. The impact of this is that my city probably has some unrest. But more then that is that the gate was open. This is supposed to have a very bad effect from the game designer point of view. But in fact it turns out very positive for the defender.

When the gate open, you know where the enemies come in. you can put archer on the wall and decimate enemies without risk. You can deploy all you troop to cut the enemies in piece at the gate. So basically. While enemies spy are annoying. They are actually of great help for you!
