Siege of Carthage

[Iron93]

Is there any mod that make this battles easier?
i really would like to complete this battle on normal but... well the final wave with two units o elephants and sacred band lancers destroys always the remnanats of my army

Any suggest?

I just played the battle on Legendary and recorded it. It should be done uploading in a few hours and I will post it here then. That ought to give you an idea of how to go about beating it yourself.

The most important thing is to keep some units back for a final wave of your own to defeat the last enemy wave, especially making sure to save at least one Velites with full ammo to take out the elephants and shoot the Sacred Bands in the rear.

Very nice. Is there any video or suggestion for other historical battles. Like the battle of Raphia or Pydna.?

No, but there is no reason why I can't make some. Any of them are beatable on Legendary with the probable exception of Alesia.

It occurs to me that the topic of how to beat the historical battles comes up on a regular basis. The battles have not seen a real balance pass since the game released and it is a very different game now than it was then, with major changes to unit stats and combat that are not reflected in the balance of the historical battles.

There are a few guides and videos on how to beat the historical battles in previous patches going all the way back to 2014, but even some of the old ways of cheesing them no longer work due to reasons ranging form the removal of spaghetti lines to changes in AI behavior. Even some of my own old ways of beating the battles no longer work, as I found to my dismay when I went to play through Pydna again. So due to the plethora of outdated information I think I should just record all the historical battles on the latest patch and make a guide of my own.
