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 I was doing fairly well this playbthrough. I have started my clan and rescued my brother and even have a few of companions. I’m decently geared for early game and had a small warband of 49. These were mostly just infantry with a handful of archers but my companions are mounted. I had 10000ish denars in the bank and was looking forward to buying some passive income from one of the cities…
That’s until I accepted a caravan escort mission… The caravan was attacked three!!! Yes three!!! Separate times by different bandits with a party of 50ish troops but they were all 75%ish mounted archers and 25% cavalry.
Don’t get me wrong I still won all three encounters but holy shit did they take a toll. But the end of the last battle my main character had fallen in battle and I had 13 troops who were still able to fight with 20 wounded and the rest dead. Maybe my tactics were shot but all I could think to do was order my infantry into a circle formation and use my handful of cavalry to ride them down. The whole time my infantry were basically used as target practice and I kept thinking “there must be a better way”. Should I just recruit more cavalry? More archers? How do I even recruit cavalry? Any help appreciated. Thanks a lot
