Mercilessly slaughter the prisoners you capture during a battle (a feature reprised from the original Medieval) and your general's 'dread' rating will rocket, making enemies fearful on the battlefield and civilians more obedient within cities.
there is some very good news in there apart from:
What strikes me most though isn't the French tactical naivety, but the breathtaking level of detail that these battles contain. Gone are the clone armies of Rome, replaced by rows of unique soldiers, their armour acquiring blood and mud as they duel with their opponents, before visibly scanning their surroundings for their next victim.
they were talking about a group of cavalry charging into some spikes ... surely that won't happen in game i thought they were going to improve the AI to make battles more realistic... all the game companies care about is the graphics which annoys me
