Battle of Trebia

Post by Kalistra »

Apologies if this is already covered somewhere, i couldnt find much on this map. Very tough ask to do in 12 turns, any suggestions? Ive tried pure defence, or running all 4 horseman right in. Trying to target units without buffs becomes futile in a few turns and attrition just eats em up. Also cant seem to pin down the centurion long enough to dispatch him. Im guessing doing that is the key but im not having success as of yet. Thanks in advance guys!

Use your barracks, the ones they train does not have the freezing effect, train a couple swordsmen and use it as the main fighters. As far as I remember, some of your knights does not have the effects, you can also use them to kill the legionnares. I three starred It once, months ago, idk about now.

Just don't move until the trigger activates, and the trigger will not affect your units.

Wow. I would have never even tried just doing nothing for 3 turns, but that is the trick! Thanks.
