Oh 3 archer units help & for some reason, javlin throwing cav seems to get thier generals to run screaming into the hills. So far I've used this tactic on them in 5 battles, & have slaughtered them every time. Course if they're still around after the reforms things may get a lot trickier.
What level is that on, Prodigal?
