Lame cav tactic being employed

[AquaLurker]

This is how I actually deal with spam arimes;

If I am playing rome, I will make sure that my inf are close together in tight formation while my cav is always near it, most of the time the spamer will find his cav blog stuck after routing 0-1 unit of inf, thats where my cav goes in for the finishing. I don't have to worry about the speed or inf turning because they are romans and no cav can change direction fast enough against roman inf.

If I am playing greek, the answer is simple from a deep cirle of pike and be alert and paitence. Once the cav spammer decides to attack a point turn your pikes to that direction, if he decides to with draw, good form the circle again. Every time he charge and withdraw he loss more men than I do and you can simply do the math who is taking more losses.
I usually use 2 militia cav while playing greeks so if the guy decides to chase my cav, good that will tire him out. Is a matter of paitence and keeping cool.

Same goes for mace only this time you combine greek tactics with roman, form a pike circle and run your cav around or through it to avoid the spammer.
But never charge throught your own pike cause they will kill your own cav as well. Just turn them around for to the rear or flanks of the cav blog and charge it when it go stuck in the pike circle.

If you are playing barbs...well good luck, cos barbs are the worst inf to take on cav blogs anyway.

Archers in the above mention tactics will have to constantly move about and take pot shots at the cav to lure it to charge your inf formation. Keep close to the inf and never stray too far from it.

This is how I use my balance armies against cav spammers, the chance of victory is above average. In the end, it is a matter of patience and keeping cool. Do not let those spammers taunt you. And remember it is just a game.

I have spammers quiting the game after a series of failed charges, sustaining heavy causlties, sometimes the rude ones even call me a cheat lol and abuse me verbally, I merely laugh at them.
