Err... back to topic.
In fairness, many of the battles I fight tend to be against those without generals, or else the FM general suicides themselves early in the battle. The morale gap that leaves means all I have to do is hold the line long enough for my flanking movements to take place. I've often got more cavalry than the AI, too, even if I have less infantry. So even if I'm outnumbered and out-quality-ed, the fundamentals go in my favour.
