Rayo,
Here's some simple formation:
1. One Spearmen per archer
2. Shock troops to the side
3. If possible and if the spot is good, one of your flank should be close to the woods. You can put some spears and shock troops there so the Cavs can't flank.
4. Cavs should either be at the back or on extremesides of battle map hiding or unnoticeable. Ideally, 2-3 Cavs total in your army.
ShockTroops Cav(opt.) Catapult(Opt.)Cav(Opt.) ShockTroops
--------Spear Space Space Space Space Spear
--------------Spear Spear Spear Spear
------------Archer Archer Archer Archer
Sorry, if the formation looks sloppy (don't pay attention to dotted lines).
1. Shoot Cavs/Shock troops with archers (on "hold"). When they get too close, retreat them behind the Spear.
2. If they attack by flank, hit them with the Spear then counter flank with Shock troops.
3. When the AI commits to a full attack, attack with front lines too then release your Cavalry (depending where they are) and use them to flank or chase retreating troops.
4. If they have a lot of infantry, use an optional catapult (on "hold", so they fire only when you want them to).
5. Just play with the configuration. You can have extra Spears, Extra shock troops or extra cavs depending on AI makeup.
6. When the moment is right. Attack with your frontline spears. redirect your Missiles to other troops (or order them to stop altogether). Your shock troops should be able to route the enemy sides first. Release your fast Cavs (on wedge initially) to chase archers or flank other troops., then the Enemy is completely enveloped.
7. Chase routers with Cavs. Reform your original army then rest them for the reinforcement. Rest the Cavs when they are done.
8. Repeat, until last reinforcement where you can counter attack fully. and Capture as much as possible. If the AI is not that many, you can counter attack early and just position your troops where AI reinforcement should appear. But in general, just have a feel for the situation.
