A similar thread was posted yesterday:
Armies need to stop charging when 1 troop dies to arrows
Anyway, your account:
Are you saying you wanted your allies to rush the Khuzaits, yeah? But you can win outnumbered three to one when the AI rushes you?
Hey Apocal,
at some point it would make the most sense to push them, yes. Their infantry and archers were fairly close and I'm 100% sure we could beat them easily. Once we would kill them, the horsemen wouldn't pose much of a threat.
Also about that similar thread you posted, it is indeed a problem. I just put my archers infront of my infantry and just kill 30-40% of the enemy troops before they even get close (sharpshooters ftw).
However the allied army in my case didn't do that for some reason...
Also, I CAN win while being outnumbered 3:1 though I don't think I could beat that army on my own. Big battles tend to be far too messy and when I can command all the troops, I usually always win with very few casualties, which I can't say is the case when the AI is in charge.
