Just discovered a terrible cheat tactic while playing the campaign game. I expect many of you have discovered this before and it may well have been mentioned on here but for relative newbies like me it might be news.
Got attacked by Ronin in one of my areas. I was defending with just 40 SA and 35 YS against 120 opposition. Parked my SA's on a hill at the back and my YS alongside. As they came towards me I saw that this was 120 WM's and realised that all I could do was thin their number with a few arrows and then gracefully withdraw. The Monks are a bit fast aren't they [it's their habit I guess ;-)] and after a few volleys I ordered a withdrawal. A few seconds later I think I accidentally pressed the wrong key and found my archers were firing at the WM's from the "red zone" at the edge of the map and the WM's couldn't attack them. The Monkees were falling like flies and just standing there taking it! After a few more volleys directed at their leader they turned and ran. I won with 80 heads taken and no losses!
Good fun but obviously not the way to play. ;-)
