ok we've all heard about the balanced armies bit and the swordsmen rush type armies but how many people sit down and base an army on a certain style and stick to it?
i'm just curious, my last factions were the polish and the danes
for the danes i tended to ignore missile troops altogether and go for 2 melee units per spearmen unit and it worked fine (horse archers a major pain though)
with the poles i went 2 cavalry per melee unit and that too worked (of course a few occasional hiccups)
currently playing english and im going 2 missile units per spearmen and despite all the fuss about the weakness of missiles im doing okay so far (sample army in single player would typically be 2 light cav, 3 spearmen and 6 archers in early period)
just wondering in anyone else bases armies on troop ratios according to preferred tactics? and if so what ratios do you aim for...
