First off, thank you for taking the time to read this post. I've been lurk-lurk-lurking these boards for a very long time and I only just recently decided to join. I've been playing Shogun since release and I've just recently gotten into Medieval.
I can consistantly whip the AI's arse in battle, but I'm usually beaten by real players. I expect defeat every time I log on. I'll tell you what I think makes me a bad player.
I have zero patience when it comes to the skirmishing part of the battle. I'm so impatient with simply taking potshots at one another. It seems there's really no way to circumvent the skirmishing part of the battle (especially in multiplayer). Any general worth his salt will have spearmen behind his ranged units and that negates a cavalry rush to end the skirmishing. It only makes it worse if your enemy loads up on gunpowder units (I tend to never take gunpowder units. I don't like 'em I know it's not a good tactical decision, though.)
I just don't know how to handle myself during online battles. I don't have much patience for skirmishing. I truly believe this is where my fault lies.
