More rambling about my Carthage campaign incoming
The war has gone on for 50 in-game years at this point, and while I’ve spent most of that on the defensive, I’ve finally managed to land on the Italian peninsula. I ended up suffering some serious losses, however, as the Romans seemed ready for me to go on the attack.
When I landed my first army on the southern tip of the peninsula, I was met by a large force before I could reach the first major city. To be expected, I guess, but again, the Romans pretty heavily outnumbered me. Since they attacked me, that meant I was given the luxury of sitting back and waiting for them to come to me.
So, with the eternal power of Donald Trump’s hairdo on my mind, I had an idea - I was going to make a fuckin’ wall. Except my wall would just be people.
I formed a half circle and let my ranged units sit back behind it and then behind my ranged units I put my war elephants and my calvary to flank from either side once the Romans engaged with my Hoplites.
They tried to attack my weakpoints in the wall of soldiers, being my Libyan Hoplites instead of my mighty Carthaginian Hoplites, so they focused built up on them and left the Carthaginian hoplites with less baggage to carry. I guess that’d make sense if they were trying to break through my wall as fast as possible, but my Hoplites were just too much for the tiny troops they threw at them and just steamrolled them, allowing me to swing them around and put a pincer on their troops.
They had a ton, though - I walked into this battle with about 1,500 and they walked in with 2,300+. I ate a lot of losses but barely managed to finish them off and force them to retreat due to the micro-managing of my Hoplites and my calvary to send them around and force a two-sided attack as often as possible. That’s basically why I won but I still ate a fuckton of casualties. It’s hard to defend two armies from two sides like that, and I basically only walked out victorious because I exploited the AI’s dumb-ness and, again, the Romans invest heavily in a large amount of cheap, less-well-equipped troops as compared to my more expensive, fewer, but better-equipped troops.
Since they pulled their garrison to aid in their battle, I was able to walk into the nearest large city and set up a strong foothold on mainland Rome.
I thought fairly well-ahead, though - my second army landed in the northern part of the Italian peninsula shortly after I established a foothold on the southern half and marched in and took out a small garrison army to establish a foothold in the North as well. Shortly after taking out the garrison army I marched my men to an army who was mustering troops and took them down before they could build up a larger army.
Now it’s only a matter of time before I take down the Roman menace and begin actually building my mighty Carthaginian Empire.

Did… did you just unintentionally pull one of Hannibal’s most well-known army maneuvers as Carthage?

Nah, I didn’t cross the Alps
I took the easier route of building up a navy to safeguard my transports and land directly on the peninsula from the Sardanian islands
But I did make the inverse of Cannae work

Gah, I’m shaking so much. I beat Martyr Logarius in Bloodborne on my first try playing the game again.

From what I’ve heard, it was made by a watchmaker. I guess they considered it a challenge to make the smallest firing pistol in the world or something.

Kolibri was a civilian weapon and marketed as such.
But then WW1 was a clusterfuck, officers frequently purchased their own secondary handguns.
With so little standardization back in those days, you had a wide array of arms. You’d be surprised what they’ve used.
