You know you do it, you have a nasty little trick that you sometimes use in multiplayer. Maybe you have a tactic that really is fun to surprise on the unsuspecting. Maybe you've just seen it done. And maybe you have a "friend" who pulls a nasty trick or two. Let us hear about it but, shhh not too loud.

massivly upgrade some units with sword/armour upgrades while keeping others to a bare minimum. Gives a nasty suprise...

Creating an army of horse archers with good melee capabilities. Nothing else, only sipahis of the porte, or boyars, or steppe HC. That deletes strategy options of the other side and makes you the more flexible side. Even if the enemy charges with heavy cavalry, your HAs can hold themselves. While others pepper slower spear-class units

hit&run attacks with cavalry archers, then a swiping attack with heavy infantry with archer fire (works in sp too)

Pssstt Over here Let me tell you a dirty tactic someone pulled on me. Our infantry had just engaged when I saw something that looked kinda strange. Directly behind the engaged infantry my opponent began moving his cav in a bizarre fashion. He didnt attack or move to a flanking position, he just angled his cav to where part of it dragged accross my engaged infantry. The bannerman never made contact with my men but merely walked slowly up my line. My men routed there causing a chain route. I said gg and watched it 2 or 3 times. Looked very suspicious to me.

Up until yesterday I was wondering why I wasn't winning as much as before my problems with Gamespy, even though I was playing as well as I was then... now I realise it was unit selection: I was using the old OFS, instead of MS, CMAA and some anti-cav... heh. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
