To surround the heavy cavlry i took my 2nd line which has 2 units and i took them out of the testudo formation. then i made them run to each side of the front line and move them up. THen when the cavlry charges the 2 units can charge the cavlry from the back of the cavlry.
The only problem is that they charge too late. If they would charge right when i tell them i would be able to kill them quickly. I may just give up on it till someone comes up with some crazy strategy.
Yeah, I tried my idea a couple of times and I kept on getting kills in the mid 200's but no victory. The turning point was always the 2nd group of cats that come from behind the hill. They either chase away/kill my cav or destroy one side of my already weakened and embattled infantry. I like your idea of sending the two units ahead and then charging back, maybe I'll give it a try.
@bigredlemon, I wasn't able to herd any of the archers back toward my infantry before the cat charge hits. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's seems really hard to be able to pull that off in time. Still, I'll try your counter-charge/flank idea, it definitely has promise. BTW, did you manage to get a victory?
