Ar7, You might get a bit more out of the game if you push ahead with what you got for battle. I like thos nattles were I cross my fingers. Is my Militia Spears gonna hold long enough for the hobilars to get there? Is my general going to survive long enough for my mailed knights to show up. These moments are what make the battles good for me. And by the by, fighting like this will make you tactically better. I submit most folks can win with the perfect army vs tha AI. A depleted army of town militia stiffened up with a couple of dismounted fuedal knights and some longbows.......... not so much.
