Nothing better than a charge in the open field.
And for the bridge battles, now (unless I'm in a great numerical inferiority) I do as the saxons in Maldon battle, I let the enemies cross and I give them a fair fight.

On a bridge, I put a few strong units at the end of the bridge and the enemy crowds onto it. Then I find a ford and flank them with the bulk of my army. Encircle them and destroy them.Originally Posted by Cartaphilus

Battles in forests are fun, unless you are cavalry heavy or fight in one of the very dense forests with huge trees.
Still in many cases even in tree heavy map you can find small or medium openings in the trees and fight there, it looks really amazing. Add to it few small hills on the map and you get very interesting terrain.
Plain flat maps are just boring.
Just last week I was playing in my Dacian Campaign and fighting somewhere just north of the starting province, wow such unformitable terrain. Not only did I have to contend with crazy slopes but giant forests as well, its a shame you can't really hinder the computer in these battles as much as a player but it is good that they be given advantage in some other ways.
I fight in those if they are available, though once an enemy unit just didn't seem to move and it took me ages to find that little hiding critter.Originally Posted by LorDBulA

I migrated to Carthage as the Pahlava yesterday and fought a battle just outside of Utica. Much to my surprise, despite there being so signs of it on the campaign map, the battlefield was a huge forest.Originally Posted by LorDBulA

I didn't know that! This make my heroic victories is Iberia even more...heroic.Yeah, some factions get a massive bonus fighting in forests. Most notably Lusotannan, they can get up to +4 moral while some enemies can get -2 or more?
Which other factions get these bonuses? The Gauls?
