@jnebbe SB had a very poorly defended hill city (two longbows) which I had T0 access too in my game when I was done with the backstabbing snake Hannibal.
I diverted a secondary stack to take this city, something like 2 catapults, 2 elephants and 3 ragtags axes or whatever it was.
After 2 catapults softened up the second longbow, but didn't dent the first, and after two elephants promoted with flank1+2 got down the longbow to something like 5.7... well, the other in the once hopeful little stack retreated in shame.
Not getting this city was huge since it made it so much difficult to defend from counterattacks later on once my main stack had taken his capital.
Sitting bulls archers are really the stuff of nightmares. :|
