hi, my favorite aspect of M&B is tactics. (its is also a big part of the game ) And TEATRC is a mod where the different factions' weaknesses and strengths are quite different. The great advanced formations with standard bearers and all makes tactics in the mod a bit harder, but also more interesting than in Native or other mods. Anyway, here are my questions:
its not neccessary to answer all of them if you reply to this thread, these are just to help you bring out your tactics It is also allowed to share your opinions on others tactics, to help them perfect what they are doing.
Anyway, here are my answers right now. Have just started playing this mod, so my tactics are far from perfected. (also a reason why I started this thread )
- what faction do you play?
- why do you play that faction?
- what army composition do you have? (what units/unit types do you have and ca how many of each)
- what tactics do you employ in different situations?

- I play the Lion Throne
- I like the heavy armor and heavy shielded units, they look awesome and I like the idea of the slow pile of death closing in on the opposition + they are incredible in sieges.
- Right now I have just made my army out of heavy infantry, plus some companions on horse to take down either enemy cavalry or undefended archer lines.
- When on open fields I start by making all my units into one big tight pile around my standard bearers. If the enemy has charging cavalry I try to get up on a small hill and hold position there. If they camp at a mountain with archers/ranged units I advance on them slowly making sure my units are tight together and are keeping their shields up all the way. As soon as my infantry gets close enugh to draw they enemy infantry I let my small group of cavalry charge the enemy archers in the back. In sieges I just let my troops charge on
