what i ment by sword inf is you cant always flank haha theres always gonna be a moment when your armys gonna be out numbered and have to engage on crappy terrain what i was looking for was a breaking inf ghazis are great im sure but they got slaughtered before doing enough dmg to split the enemy down the middle my tactics are always based around my missle troops on defense on offense its based on the nearest hill hehe
defense: normally line up pavise units if i got em with normal bows behind them so they are protected from annoying HA and still can rain death apon aproaching enemy units while strong charge and attack units line up behind them to run through the archers and hit the enemy while spearmen whack there flanks *note doesnt always work if the enemy has more units then you cant plug up all the holes and looks like al fariz is gonna have to put down his bow and start fighten haha but normally works well with my cavs spread out on my flanks, though i can never line them up for a proper flank without loseing charge bonus
ofense: my worst attribute haha i always aim for back breaking blows i.e. 3 prong ghazi attack through the gaps between spear men while cav charges 2 seconds behind em to hit the speamen when they turn to attack ghazis rear while my ranged units pepper there range units in hope of distracting them from pouring shafts into the melee also this plan NEVER WORKS its just a fantasy of my men listening to me and the AI doing stupid stuff my ghazis always get intercepted and just stand there fighting the front line in melee while cavs attempt to get around or sit there and get peppered by there 4+ units of ranged units which comp always seems to have my flanking units are always hit with cav and prolonged battle starts with normally high loss's 300 is acceptable to me hehe
also the aby upkeep... i have 1,286,834 florins year is 1364 hehe TRADE BABY TRADE thats what i focused on in early game before i wiped out enough factions to be on hate list of whole world hehe cept for my lovely danes who protect my northen provenices hehe if you keep the byzs alive and an ally antioch can make alotta money from trade clocked mine with top trade improvments and fleet that spanned all the seas cept for a few which i dident need(bastid spanish decided i to fight back when i wanted to place my summer palace in castille)
