Expansion Training...

[Draksen]

We must wait 3 or 4 weeks before playing with the expansion game...
Just an idea : let's play with (or like)
Mongols BEFORE the expansion !

Rules :
Short and Simple : win the game ONLY
with Yari Cav, Heavy cav and cavalry archers.
(You can use of course your initial YA YS and SA)

Have you ever tested this before ?

I had never realy used cav until playing like using only cav, and yari troops
Doing so gives u a great way to learn how to utilize cav and iv since foound them to be a deciding factor many battles
A 5k army with 4 or 5 cav units can often have the mobilty to outwit outrun and outflank a marauding army designed for monk rushing
such armies rarely have enuff yari to cope and their guns and monks become easy pickings even for cav archers with well timed flank and rear charges http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Pay attention to Yoko!!!

If you've ever complained about Monk-Rushes, THIS IS YOUR ANSWER. Monks get creamed by cavalry. Just remember one thing: Never ever ever charge straight into the muskets. Our secret is out. Now we're going to see tons of cavalry-rushes. *sigh*
