    The trick described with the crossbows works much better with professional horse archers like vards.

    Get the cavalry to commit to one unit, lead them away, then shoot them to pieces/charge and destroy

    a trick i like to use is to make my centre and right weaker then my left, all my heavy cav is there, when the main battle starts rout the centre units and have the enemy pour through to try to kill my gen. have my light cav aid my general with a series of charge and recharge, then as this is happening wheel my heavy cav to back and charge. basicaly you annhilate the opposing army and take only a few losses unless you time it wrong, timing is everything

    lol have some pity on the poor AI
    And when the brazen cry of achilles
    Was heard among the trojans, all their hearts
    Were troubled, and the full-maned horses whirled
    The chariots backward, knowing griefs at hand...
