Your army Compositions and tactics.

[Ayce]

My tactic for complete Getic Empire armies:

A line of loose formation archers in front set to flame ammo (I usually have significant numbers of them in my army), they may also include slingers.

That's unless I use phalanxes (who stand in front), in which case I group my archers on one of my flanks.

Melee cavalry on the left flank (charging laterally or from the rear).

Horsearchers on the right flank (my weakest usually, they deplete their forces there)

Light infantry and skirmishers right behind archers/phalanxes.

Shock troops and heavy infantry at about the same position.

Light inf attack one one side (usually the right), and shock troops charge on the other (usually left to help cavalry against polearm and spear weapons)

Archers are usually Komatai Toxotai, Komatai Agrinai and Schytian Archers (soon to get Bosphoran)

Phalanxes are either Light or Heavy Dacian Phalanxes - they perform well out of phalanx formation too and seem to take on most hellenic phalanxes very easily)

Melee cavalry is represented by the Daoi, Tarabostes, Thracian Medium Cavalry and Thessalian Heavy Cav (only mercenaries)

Horsearchers are the usual Getikoi Hippotoxotai, though Schytians are sometimes employed. (no Ktistai yet)

Light infantry varies wildly (Komatai, K Epilektoi, Peltasts, Galatians, Spearmen of various cultures)

Shockers are Falxmen, Galatian Wild Men for now. Soon to have Romfea men and Scordisci.

I severely underuse Kostoboks and Mezenai, though they'd go to Skirmisher and Horsearcher (I'm not nuts) groups respectively.
