    Yeah, go Cav against a human controlled Hellenistic factions, sounds like a good idea.

    Use the same style of army...^^
    Kataphraktoi are a pain in the ass...

    If you are doing a phalanx box, then form a hexagon with hoplitai or hypaspitai in the corners so he cant atack you there. Than place some cretans or slingers in the middle of the box and try too shoot at his cavallery.

    I once defeated a Kataphraktoi-army with Iberian Assault Infantry in an online battle, Iberian Assault Infantry is tough. If this wasn't a thread about killing me I could have given some advice.

    The biggest determinations on casualties for an infantry unit is whether or not you catch them moving.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    I won two battles this day, not against skullhead but against worms136( possibly you don't know him). Karthadast against Arke Seulekia. Just phalanx vs phalanx, protecting flanks and flank charge with cavalry, i just slaughtered his phalanx and the other troops where no match for some naked infantry, iberian assualt and some other infantry. I might get better :). Thanks for advice about guard mode and such really helped.

    Worms136 is another EB player from my class. And yes, I was an observer and whispered the tactics in his ears. It was a 1v1v1 battle and they tried to kill me. So I just crossed the red line and helped one party.

    I thought so. Yesterday Skull and I were playing with the same amount of money. For a long time i was playing on 36k, and when one got 50k, there's nothing more logical than to chose a lot of elites.
    Why don't you try with 36k? That way both of you will probably decide to take many "weaker" (less expensive) units (i supose you wont take, say, cca 10 units of elites only and spend all of your money exclusively on them), and thus you'll, imo, make your games more challenging (and more fun, if you ask me).
