I joined the Aserai faction because I love their heavely armored cav archers (and screw their royal line, they die super quick) recently I got the perk to transfer bandits into regular troops and started capturing forest bandits. In the meantime we were at war with the southern kingdom and I wanted to try the power of my new battanian fians. So I decided to take my 270 ish troops (160 mamaluke heavy can archers and 110 battanian fian champions) to vostrum, a city guarded by over 1000 troops.
I started the seige and to my suprise they rushed out. With battle size of 1000 their cav archers were almost instantly killed due to my defensive formation. Then their cav started to charge, all dead before they even managed to reach my archer line.
Then their archers moved in front, almost half of them were dead before they got back behind their infantry. The infantry was too slow to get to me and I send my cav archers to flank and shoot them in the back. Every lord got captured and all troops were killed, routed or captured.
Then I continued the siege but there were no defenders left, so as soon as I hit the lead an attack I could just walk in and the city was mine with almost no losses.
Question Time: Why would the militia charge out? Has this happened to anybody else? Please, tell me your stories
