Impossible custom battles

[gollum]

All historical battles/historical camps are winnable in the core game. Just practice. I haven't tried the ones in VI but i'm pretty sure they'd be also winnable. You can make up custom battles that are balanced in terms of strength so i'm not sure what you mean when you include them in the unwinnable category too.

Maybe I had a wrong name for it. Probably it wasn't a custom battle. You see, I have a translated into Russian version of the game (and not a very good translation - like they translated Order foot soldiers something like "Infantry keeping order" or "Infantry fighting in ranks" more or less), so here I have to re-translate back into English. Under "custom battle" I meant the battle with factions and forces chosen for you, you are just landed onto the battlefield and said to start the battle (or deploy the troops chosen by the AI). What is the original name for it I don't know. Perhaps, a quick battle? Whatever the name, I hope you see what battle I meant, and still claim some are unwinnable. Any help on that?

Yes, well match your units correctly (not archers to cavalry etc), use your missile line efectively, remember to flank. If outgunned use the trees or rush if you have more melee. I mean its all the stuff that apply in every battle. I don;t choose the quick batle feature as it gives way too much artillery for my liking often. I'd rather set up my own custom battles and choose teh map if i want battles only.
