Salammbo Hints
Where should I place the different companies?
1 of 12: This isn't as hard as it first seems. For one thing, if the battle goes wrong, you can always restart (by clicking on the "Start Battle" button).
2 of 12: Look at the way the enemy is arrayed and set like against like.
3 of 12: At the right next to the mountains are the Velites, guys throwing spears. Do you have anyone who can attack from a distance like that?
4 of 12: Put the Balearic slingers, guys with slingshots, on the right so they're facing the Velites.
5 of 12: At the front, they have a bunch of those weird elephants with fourteen tusks. They're going to do fearful things to whomever they come across first.
6 of 12: You have a troop of pigs. Who cares if they get killed?
7 of 12: Put the pigs in front facing the elephants.
8 of 12: The only problem with this is the pigs will run away the first chance they get.
9 of 12: You'd better put a strong group behind them to keep them going.
10 of 12: The Etruscans and Gauls are powerful. Put them behind the pigs.
11 of 12: The Numidian Cavalry are the only ones left. Put them at the left, next to the sea.
12 of 12: Now click on the Start Battle button and see what happens.
