Hello everyone. Looking for a bit of advice.
I've been playing Goth's All Factions mod as the WRE. Dealt with the hordes (oddly infantry heavy, probably to give them a chance at sieges), subdued most of the barbarians, and took Greece and Egypt from the ERE.
Suddenly I find myself facing attacks by the Huns from several directions(they control most of Russian/Eastern Europe). Upkeep costs have been lowered for the Huns(and other barbarians) and they can field armies every bit as big as mine, despite having a fraction of the population/cities. Apparently the army buld priority has been tinkered with by Goth, and they tend to build a mix of horsearchers and the crappy hun infantry.
The former have been by far the biggest problem for me, and my infantry heavy armies do fairly poorly against them. Moreover, WRE archers stink just as much as in vanilla BI.
My current strategy involves using light cavalry to catch them and Kataphractii to take them out. This is pretty tough on the light cavs(which also stink for the WRE), and even the heavily armored horses take casualties, and it's tough to replace them.
Are there any special strategies that work against horsearchers? The hunnic threat will have to be dealt with before I can get back to taking out the Eastern Romans.
Thank you in advance![]()
