Battle of Alesia is impossible now

[Echnaton]

Hello, I tried the Battle of Alesia multiple times but it seems to be impossible, even on normal, since Empire Edition because the enemies do not retreat as easy as pre EE...

So impossible that you could have Caeser sat next to you with the entire in and out layout of the game and he wouldn't be able to help you...

LOL, he hasn't seen a computer before so he really can't help you at all :D

Not trying to put you down or insult you but I'm just making a bad joke.

i've won this battle recently. You must allow the enemy within the walls then slam reserve calvary into your anvil.

I won Alesia on legendary in July. I hope this movie will be help for you:

You did some very clever things there to pull that off, well done. I'm not sure how you got the AI to derp out into running a bunch of their units in the wrong direction at 14:45, and if that isn't reproducible I have my concerns about other people managing to beat the battle with your method, but otherwise a solid and well thought out play through.

I also made my own historical battle video series. I couldn't beat Alesia on Legendary and tbh I'm disinclined to try even with the new knowledge that it is possible on the current patch. I can however at least beat it on Hard and for anyone playing on a difficulty that lets the player interact with their units while paused my method is highly reproducible since it relies mostly on meeting the enemy head on and blowing them all up with artillery.

Thank you very much for your kind words. Alesia was for me the hardest challenge from all historical battle of Total War series. I am so glad that other experienced player aprreciates it. You’re right. In this battle SI’s defect saved situation. However I believe that my method will be reproducible. In my earlier attempts I could to survive up to last wave of Galls without SI’s defect even with larger forces. I had another problem: my method to fight with last wave wasn’t enough improved. If you’ll be interested, I can upload to YT one from my former attempts and show you.


I saw your movie. Well done. I think your method is very good. You used the most advantage Roman army above Gallic army: artillery. Precision and pathience are necessary. I believe that this method – with more pause - has big chance even in very hard. Did you tried?
