And I love every improvement or changement so far. Well I am 1 hour into a new campaign but I liked th new stealth system and just looking at the encyclopedia relations seems a bit more complex. Loved also the new small things such as troops shouting down your orders. So far soon cool BUT There is one thing which really suck for me and that is the new light system. I really can't see shit in battles, unless with a sun shining at midday. Other than that impossible to fight in the shadows at dawn or even afternoon. And I can't tell if the ai is better or I simply suck. Please tell me there is a fix to this because battles are just becoming a frustrating nightmare... submitted by /u/Plopita [link] [comments]
I'm playing PoP, but I think that the question generalizes well.
I have a medium sized (~200) army, about half of which are Empire crossbows. When I can pull enemies into mountainous terrain, I need only position my crossbowmen on the high ground, plug up any position which the enemy will funnel into with my infantry and provoke the enemy cavalry into a charge with my harassing horse archers and then hit the charging cavalry's flank with my own cavalry. After breaking the momentum of the first cavalry charge, I retreat behind my infantry and the crossbows kill everything. This strategy allows me to take on armies that are 300-strong with only a handful of casualties.
When I fight armies that are larger than 300, my crossbows start to run dry and then I'm forced to retreat and repeat even when I have my crossbows hold fire until the enemy troops are closer. This allows me to take on almost arbitrarily large forces, but feels cheesy and a bit unfair. Is there a more "legitimate" tactic that I can use to take on armies which are considerably larger than my own?
I'm playing with 530 battle size, good combat AI and normal damage to friendly troops, if that changes the equation in any way.
