I don't know if it's because it was a city battle, but he didn't won thanks to the capture point. Yet he only has the option to "end the battle", and not "continue the battle".
What happened to that option ? Using cavalry to eliminate all thoses dismoralized troops was always very important in battles. Since it's a city battle, they'll all die, but who gets the kills ? Which unit gets the experience ?


And yeah, no horses could be understandable (horses really don't like ships), but no siege equipment is a shame.
I only hope he didn't have any siege equipment because thoses ones are unmovable (once you place them on the battlefield, they're fixed, maybe you need to research something before for siege in boats), so you can't use your troops to "move" them. But what about movable siege equipment, i have no idea.

It was a multiplayer fight not a campaign mission, thus no need to run down routing troops.

[Adamar]

Running down routing troops is the best part of the battle...

Err no it was a battle from the prelude campaign as they repeatedly said.  He basically avoided following the predetermined 'historical' story and forged his own in the prelude campaign.

I understand that, but I fucking hate that this applies to multiplayer campaigns as well. I mean, what the fuck? The enemy almost always gets away with hundreds of troops.

[Tor!]

These were not supposed to be shown, but you know, germans.

[Molly]

Be thankful to the Germans then...

Lets see them smash a pike wall.

[Leesin]

Lets see them smash a pike wall.

Let's see a pikewall get pelted with large stones and then try to out maneuver a more numerous and faster moving horde of angry butt fucking shit cunts with pecs for chest armour.

Infact we will have to play sometime, you with your pikewall and me with my highly mobile force of handsome gentlemen.

[Hunter_the_Honourable]

Only one week left

[Jarlek]

Only Holy fuck, still one week left 

FTFY

That's not smashing, that's picking appart.

Macedon also had fast moving infantry for support, not to mention the awsome cavalry

Brit my old friends of the time were warfare troglodites with their slingers and charriots...

[Tor!]

Slingers seems like a complete waste unless your fighting naked people without shields
