damn left flank

[The Stranger]

almost every time when i'm defending my left flank got crushed
many times i lost a general by trying to save that flank.

it happened to me in very crucial battles and i've studied a bit and it happened to alexander in gualgamala and to king Harold of england vs William the conquerer he was killed on the left flank miles away of the place were he supposed to be in the center.

does this kind of things happens to anybody else or do i have to adapt my fighting style

I think the AI has a tendency to go for the left flank, now that you mention it.

It seems to go for the lefte flank more, right flank is mostly untoched...

Another little bit of historical accuracy in the game? Attack from the right flank.

No wonder I counter the comps moves so well, I decided to change history and attack from the left in most cases. The real reason I do this is because all your veterans are on the left of your cards most of the time.

Try and put an army of 2 Levy Pikemen, Phalanx Pikemen and Silver Shield Pikemen each into a battle. Notice that the Levy are the left, the normals are in the center and the Silver Shields at the right. The game is simply set up to put the strongest warriors on the right, the place of honour.

That is what I've begun to notice as well. And if the AI puts its strongest units on the right, it tends to want to hit you the hardest from its right/your left. The historical aspect makes sense, and is a nice touch.

Now if I could only figure out why it stacks my Parthian general's bodyguard in the center of an eastern infantry unit on the far right everytime... Obviously, there are still a few initial deployment bugs to work out.
