My apologies to Vega, don't mean to bully.

Some players were wondering the various ways to beat the 14-19 legionary in guard unit armies, so I just thought I would post one such method. Next time of course, I will ask for permission before posting of course.

Now now guys, that is enough, bullying is not good, and I doubt Vega is going to like you all posting replays here without permission.

Excellent example of fear tactics and proper utilisation of morale boosters, exemplifies Keltoi dominance in the infantry battlefield.

Edited the above post.

So I'm guessing the only way of sharing tactics to beat some really controversial builds if the opponent does not want you to post the replay...is to simply write about what you did. Hey, it's not too bad of a compromise. You could even draw pictures in MS Paint and share battle formation diagrams and movements!

No, without the enemies permission, it is simply unethical, no matter how douchey said enemy is.

Hm? I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with, Lazy, but you don't need your enemy's permission to share your own tactic. Just don't reveal the enemy's identity and it's fine.

A note should be made that the owner of the Cantabrian Circle HA was me, and that's as well as saying the AI was controlling it. Possibly worse.

I don't think complete censorship of the freedom of sharing information helpful to all is wise...but that's just me. I'm all for sharing. Why do you think I let you download everybody's official tournament replays?

Haha, well the general concept remains. Use a lighter unit to get them to skirmish away. Some light units can catch them, especially light cav, if your opponent is not paying close enough attention.

The real killer tactic though is this, which I did use. When HA's go into CC you of course tell your archers to either hold fire or target elsewhere as the arrows won't connect. However, when chasing away the horsies, they come out of the circle and are susceptabile to archer fire. If you time it properly, you can target your archers on them about a second or two before the horses skirmish away and they will connect with the now exposed backs of the horse archers, causing devestating casualties and often a rout.
