Hi there, i am mid game in my campaign, siding with the Aserai. Playing as a lance / horse archer atm.
I am curious about the strategy used by other players with the aserai troops.
I run an army of 150 soldiers. 25 Faris, 30 heavy horse archers, 30 master archers, 25 palace guards and a mix of Aserai inf.
Most of the time i let my faris cav follow me while we try to kill as much enemy melee and ranged cav as possible. In the meantime i let my inf , archers and horse archers close in using advance. I try to lure the enemy front line and their archers fire towards the shield wall, and in the same time position my horse archers on their flank or back while i ride down their archer backline with my Faris group. Faris javs, inf javs, palace guard axes and horse archer and master archer arrows nuke the enemy from front / side / back. I prep my faris, inf, and palace guards to charge just before the frontline collapses. They usualy break fast with the palace guards chopping heads fast front right behind my shield wall or from a flank position (they need swing space) I mop up using faris / horse archers.
Loving the aserai, but damn so much micro management. Does anyone had tips to play them and to make the aserai battles less micro heavy? F6 is rather tricky :-/
I also tend to struggle against Vlandia because of their knights couched lances and sharpshooters (killing my Faris rather fast...)
