When the horses have reached the far right and far left flanks i bring out the troops. Wait for their army to attack my hastati then flank/rear attack their general with my horses. The actual battle usually lasts 30 seconds. No matter the size of the army.
I agree. And that is if they actually march up and lay siege. What I have found as Carthage in Sardinia is that the Roman AI will land troops and march up to the city gate, but not immediately lay siege despite having the movement points/position to do so. This allows me to march my stack out the opposite side on the strategic map and attack on a regular battlefield, without needing to do a sally from the tactical city map.
