I've been reading a lot of complaints on weak cavalry, and how they are real eager to die at the hands of those elite peasants and militia.
Well, my frech AI opponent does not agree. I just sieged Rennes with a full stacked army, with the only defender being a familiy member. I had 4 units of dismounted english knigts in combat with that unit.
So bare with me.
1 unit gets charged on the front, and because they have a higer attack rate than defence rate, i decide to counter charge, just before the cavalry hits home. i send another unit into the fray, and then, after a while, another 90 knights charge into the french from the rear. and then, another one connects with the two fighting on the front.
So this is 30 bodyguards, and 1 general. vs. 360 english footknights.
halfway through that fight ive lost about 100 of these fellows, and killed 1, yes 1 bloody bodyguard. i decide to throw in my own general and knights and in the end they manage to kill off the french.
end of battle report: i killed 31 troops, and lost 120.
this is on medium i might add.
what did i do wrong.
