Don't Run-Through.
Don't Attack in Guard Mode, with pikemen as the sole exception obviously.
Pikemen may only be turned using the "<," ">," or Pointer, and NEVER when engaged or when attacking a unit. If engaged or unable to turn in time (which fyi was the achilles heel of the phalanx) they must be turned in melee mode. Don't fool yourself, this is quite noticeable in-game.
No set battle formation may be a square (meaning there must be a true left and right to your army and no this does NOT mean it can just be divided "in half"). Educate yourself in terms of war if you want to know what is a "true left and right."
Don't use Guard Mode in Loose Formation (seriously, anyone who finds benefit in this has to know they are exploiting the settings of the game; if they do not, they are lying to you and themselves, or are simply ignorant of its effects).
At least 1 general unit must be present per army.
The army with most men must attack, unless attacked first (skirmishing doesn't count, only true attacks).
*This is off the top of my head and I will add more if I think they are useful.
