Down with the flu.....

Raindrops keep falling on my head........well, no raindrops.....but i'm down with the flu.....so i took the opportunity to pon school =D. Quit the whining, I'm an opportunist. Damn ammonia. Never taking a whiff of that damn thing again. Wednesday science practical I accidentally inhaled ammonia...Gave me a sore throat, then after the sore throat i got a flu....speaking of science practical...i never did unlock that drawer i locked on wednesday...well...i'll probably get back to it 2 weeks later.

Spent half the day....well..the whole day, playing RTW....finally destroyed the senate, though i pissed off the 2 factions who can parallel my strength. Below is a nice screenshot of a near impossible battle i fought.

If you'll look at the numbers, you'll see i deployed 500 men and was left with 400, while the enemy deployed 1.2k men and was left with 200.
Not the best thing in the world. But before it, there were 2 other battles.
1st battle Me:1000 Enemy: 1000.......Result Me:800 Enemy:90
2nd battle Me: 800 Enemy:1000........Result Me:500 Enemy:87
3rd battle(the above one) Me: 500 Enemy: 1.2k.....Result Me: 400 Enemy: 260

and all the battles were back to back......gets strenous on the mind...
Playing RTW always makes me feel like a military genius....oh another battle happened way after that where it was 400 to 1600....i was the 400, guess who won. I managed to stay inside my city and hold them off...not easy, considering they managed to get onto my city walls before i was able to stop them...amazingly, 9 samnite gladiators and 25 legionary cohort managed to hold off nearly 200 soldiers....and the result....2 samnite gladiators and 5 legionary cohort left, 0 enemies left. and on the other side of the walls, 90 legionary cohort held off nearly 200 soldiers as well...they still had about 150 plus troops left, plus about 700 in reinforcements which, for some reason, never decided to join the battle. I swear I was *THIS* close to annihilating those fools when the time ended and the game declared it a "close victory".....right after i won however, 1.3k troops instantly besieged my city again, upon which i got pissed and just saved game and quit...hmm...i think i'll go back and kill them all now!

EDIT:
A battle happened when i went back. 210 against 1160.
Such a pity...they could have joined my army instead of dying against it. oh by the way if you count the troops at the bottom its 2+5+6+11 = 24. i suppose the of the 52 mentioned remaining, 28 were wounded, and not killed....
