Instead he went for the heavy spearmen in phalanx mode. He could have burned up my onagers with his archers. The idiot starts moving his troops slowly after losing 5% of his army. I'm no authority on this, but isn't it like 10 - 20 times gayer to use archers defended by hoplites?
I pound his troops with 4 onagers, and he starts calling me gay n00b. I had 5 heavy spearmen defending 4 onagers, with 5 cataphracts on each flank. Then I told him that the game has no rules and it is not going to change.
This person walks into a game titled '1v1 15k large no rules' and tells me not to use siege - as he picks Greek Cities.
