    My mistake is that I sometimes am bored of micro-managing my battles (playing as Makedonia),so I mostly end up with many unecessary casualties. It can even up with me abandoning campaigns, due to the fact that shipping troops over to Hellas and back aain costs too much precious money and time, the latter being the most important factor IMO, especially if you take your enemy in surprise.

    My biggest mistake is forgetting that elite troops are still killable, if your super powerful troops on the flank route you take a damn lot of casualties.

    Well when my kingdom transfer to an empire. I very often forgett to dispand mercs and even forgett to move armies some times. Especially Invading a large kingdom when I have to have reinforcment. Annother misstake I do too often is to engage al my units. And when one or two of them have trouble. I have no left to help them.

    Especially with factions that can retrain obsolete troops with reforms, I get all stingy and just keep retraining the obsolete troops so I don't have to spend money on new, expensive elite units.

    I hate spending money.

    My worst mistakes must be to rely on merceneries as I am mad about blitzing...
    so they leave no money for improving my cities....

    and I think to use heavy cavalry too much also they are perfect but tires very quickly and I still chase light cavalry with them

    I often forget to do something with young and perspective generals and notice them only after notification about some nasty vice. The larger my kingdom is, the more often it happens.
