They seem to react more to what I am doing and this makes fighting them more fun. Too bad they are almost wiped out in my latest campaign.
I haven't seen any creative tactics on M/M from them, they're just stinkin' good at mobbing my troops in a never ending brawl. The first battle I fought against them, they mostly died from cannon fire, on account of their hiding in buildings like little girls. The second, we had equal forces but half mine was militia. I almost won that one but my army routed.
