[EB] Whats Wrong?

[Lazy O]

Ive already been discouraged enough to drop the steppe idea, seems most people here do not have the guts to face it after all. To avoid this, I would have gotten a system where you could have chose 2 factions for the tourney or just played as anyfaction :/

Actually the counter is counter intuitive. You need a ton of cheap large sized but decent morale units and just RUSH the steppe army. If you can isolate and kill the kata, you basically win.

That's how to deal with it as Baktria or an eastern faction. Celts have a even better time of it since they have all those druidic units and access to Iberian ambushers (240, high morale, high javelin count death units).

I mean, it kinda abuses the red line but :\ It also is only REALLY feasible on huge unit sizes.

[-Stormrage-]

what do u mean abuses the red line, does that mean we can put units past the red line?

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

No he means that he traps units at the red line.

[-Stormrage-]

oh so he spreads out those ambushers all along the red line so the HA's wont be able to flank, good move

[Kival]

Yeah, but as we are mostly playing large that does not work. And I would not really like to use this tactic.

It is called a skirmisher net, learn it, it can be done on normal, unit scale has nothing to do with it.
