Make a elite cataphract force of 50 than charge them to their horse division. Elite cataphracts are superior in all ways. Then, charge the horses on to the pikeman and archers then charge the soldiers and arrows. Dont forget that these has to be mostly legionaries. I hope my tips help. submitted by /u/Visible_Tax7920 [link] [comments]
SO! Long story short, I'd managed to build up a small kingdom in eastern Calradia, taking up a few swadian castles, nothing really out of the ordinary here, I decide that, as Swadia is very small, only having two towns left, I decide to take one, I also decide that 'hey so if you have lots of guns thats good right' so, I replace my veteran footmen and infantry, almost all of which at this point are standardised with good helmets, armour, swords and shields, with massed recruits which only have chainmail, a billhook, a gun, and 15 rounds of ammunition. That was my first mistake. My second mistake was not removing the knights from my army, I end up getting intercepted by the king's army at this point, just outside, but we're about equal in numbers, and I have more guns, so it'll be a piece of cake, right?
Wrong. When the battle commences, I have my knights form up infront of my recruits, I have the recruits form one large prickly mass of guns and billhooks (Just to note, I had forgotten to actually garrison my castles at this point, and all my vassals, two of which had 200+ strong armies, were stuck in Zendar.) so, the swadian cavalry charge, I have my recruits open fire as my knights charge too! Literally every single one of my knights is gunned down from behind them

as far as the eye can see, now, this wouldn't be so bad you may think, but then these, these, these absolute masterminds, these gods of the battlefield, I turn to look at them, just to make sure I'm not being decieved and my men aren't gunning the knights down

Long story short, we get completely and utterly crushed as most of my recruits begin to break without me and i lose 140+ to simply being run down by Swadian cavalry, to make it even shorter, it ends with me and my last 40 or so men fending off 1400 Swadians, and getting utterly defeated, though we did kill about 120 of them before they managed to push through onto the walls, and massacre us.
Tl;dr Massed guns are way too effective in Nova Aetas
