Posts: 22 11/30/08 04:41:01	Tags : None I was playing as Egypt and I came up against a Seleucid army made up purely of peasants, however, all the peasants had 2 gold arrows(exp), silver weapons, and bronze shields. There were 1440 of these peasants. I sent one of my generals with some numidian spearmen, slingers, and skirmishers. Before the battle it looked like I had the upperhand so I automanaged and I got crushed. I laughed and wondered how in the world does the AI get these troops? Anyone else have any other weird battles?

In such cases, I think armies with lots of peasants can arise. What's even more interesting is that a few (brave) players have conquered the map using nothing but peasants in their armies!

Such stacks are usually composed of low quality units with high experience and upgrades. They're quite difficult to defeat, sometimes even more difficult than ordinary enemy armies. This is not necessarily because of their attack strength, but more because of their excellent morale. In mods like EB, some regions have pre-scripted rebel armies of formidable quality. Noricum in the Alps, for instance, is protected by a huge and highly experienced stack. I once sent two post-Marian legions to defeat it and autocalced. They got creamed......
