Hello everyone!
I am having a hard time with this last beta, i keep losing 25-50% of my army everytime, it dosent matter if i play strategically or just stupidly order everyone to charge because it seems i get pretty much the same results, here is my army composition:
Infantry - around 25-30 norwegian sergeants, 10-15 landbor for shock infantry, various other infantry
Arhers - Welsh veteran longbowmen around 35-40 of them
Cavalry - Mostly composed of my companions mixed with a few other horsemen, in total i think my cav is around 10-15 men
What i usually do is make the sergeants form the 1st line since they have shields than place the shock infantry behind them so they are protected from enemy fire and can easily deal with any eventual breach in the 1st line, my cav stays on whatever flank the enemy is trying to attack, and archers behind the shock infantry, in a previous beta with this army i could win battles even while outnumbered 3 to 1 (usually by kings) and end up with only a couple wounded, i really cant tell what changed, AI uses the same strategies, archers even if slightly nerfed (their archery prof was at around 200 if i am not wrong now it's 175) should still do tons of dmg.
Now fighting for Norway i came across these danish armies composed of over 80% of cavalry, they are stuck running in place, probably since the beggining of the game so now a typical 120 men army has like 82 horsemen 10 knights and a few infantry, how can i beat such an army ? my cav even with help by infantry stil loses badly in melee even while supported by a considerable amount of "best" archers in the game, i tried placing my army on a hill it didnt work, i tried using a river to slow them down and thus giving my inf a huge advantage but still nothing, how can i beat these armies ? i welcome any help and suggestion, except that of spaming knights/horsemen myself.
Thank you!
