    Default Re: How do you charge through units?

    Nice, easy tactic i use for killing off small to medium sized armies or rebels (or when I am top heavy with Cav), and I want the enemy to rout quick.

    1. Formation.. archers, skirmishers in front, infantry and Cav behind.
    2. Advance all units on slow march, with missile units set on FAW
    3. Keep pushing and blitzing with your missile units.

    The enemy will hate this, and seek to counter. They'll break guard formation and start to run towards or away from you.

    4. The second they start to run, right click (double click) all Cav Units behind the advancing enemy.
    5. Cav will rush past your missile units and charge through the rapidly advancing enemy. This shock tactic will cause most of them to rout.
    6. Send your infantry in to surround from behind and kill them all.

    Warning though, if you are facing experienced spearmen, its best not to attempt this unless you have experienced heavy Cav or even better, Cataphracts.
