Europa Barbarorum Battle #1: Julius Caesar - Battle of Zela

The game Rome: Total War has one of the best modding communities in the gaming industry, and EB is one of the foremost in terms of popularity, detail and historical accuracy.

The Battle of Zela (47 BC) is one of the historical battles available. The scenario pits Julius Caesar against Pharnaces II of Pontos; it is famous for the words that Caesar later uttered: veni, vidi, vici.

@Dikkiheadi, yep battles last much longer and in my opinion the slower pace makes you think much more tactically. For instance holding some men in reserve so they don't get too tired.

@aceblazer25 What are the best improvements in the mod would you say?

[ShinXari]

Well CA makes very good strategy games....but only if there's an active modding community they can overcome their difects and become excellent.
