So, I end up loading into a fight after reading the Auto Resolve where it says that the battle location takes place in the "Plains" as well as looking visually at where im located on the map with not a single tree in sight around me, and then i get a marsh surrounded by trees. Begs another question, if I would have auto resolved, would it have auto'd on that map I loaded into or would it have auto'd with a Plains modifier to cavalry/horse archer troops? submitted by /u/tjburke93123 [link] [comments]
Today I used the Cantabrian Circle to great effect as the Khuzaits.
While playing BannerKings I decided to raid a Southern Imperial village to secure silk for my velvet workshop, triggering a war between my liege Monchug Khagan and Regina Rhagaea.
After my raid I noticed Rhagaea patrolling her lands with a small retinue of 80 troops. My army of 170, which consisted entirely of lancers and horse archers, successfully pursued her and started a battle in a large valley surrounded by woods.
The cowardly imperials hid their crossbowmen in the forest while stationing a shield wall of fairly low level legionnaries at the edge of the treeline. I could not flank the enemy, so all advantage should have gone to the imperials.
I set my lancers to the side where I could command them to charge at the mounted Rhagaea and her entourage if they chose to attack my horse archers. I then commanded my horse archers to enter a column formation and had them follow me. To my surprise this actually worked. I ran in a circle in front of the legionnaries, keeping my archers mobile while also allowing them to fire at the enemy. The Cantabrian Circle was complete. Legionnaries and crossbowmen alike fell to my horse archers and skilled companions.
Meanwhile my lancers annihilated Rhagaea. Her weakened legionnaries decided to charge, ultimately getting wiped out by my cavalry and archers. The crossbowmen themselves also fell to my lancers, allowing me to capture the Empress herself in the first battle of the war.
