Whats yo style?

I prefer to occasional skirmishing to distrupt any enemy plan to lunch any full scale invasion while recruit every available military forces in order to lunch my own offensive force.

During battle i prefer to wore out the enemy by leting them come to me instead charging them head on.

My style is counter-attacking.

Plus I don't have many types of units in an army. I define the most cruel infantry, archers, and cav, and build my forces' backbone with them.

I'm a very slow and methodical player. As i like to build my economy and infrastructure first and at the same time allowing the AI to so as well. This allows me of course to field some very elite type armies later on in the game. (Not many because their expensive of course... but enough) Intelligence a.k.a. spies also plays a very vital role in my method of playing as i by "house rules" never openly attack anyone. Rather i let the AI make the declaration of war sort of speak by attacking me but i'm usually well aware of the AI's "intention" by use of spies which of course enables me to see where the AI's deploying it's army and allows me to counter as it's relative to the enemy position and composition. As for battle tactics i'm a straight "Hammer and Anvil" guy but put to very effective use the Thureophoroi, Thorakitai, and Peltastai which allows me a great deal of battlefield flexibility to go along with the aforementioned style of "Hammer and Anvil". Obviously i'm a Hellenistic player and i'm speaking of how i play Europa Barbororum and not Vanilla RTW which honestly i barely remember what is like. After EB you can never go back.

I like playing cavalry heavy using speed and maneuverability over brute force when possible. That's why I love playing Carthage . It makes beating factions like tha Romans and other infantry heavy factions are the more fun and difficult. So it always comes down to breaking morale and hitting them where they least expect it. Strategy-wise the last ditch gamble is always best. Sneaking an army behind enemy lines and sacking their capital when they are whooping you at home or stalemated is always fun.

I like to:

1st - Roads/markets/Ports, concentrate all troops into an army with the faction leader and go straitght to biggest city in population near me.

2st - Siege cities, never attack in the beggining of game unless the defenses are really sucky, losing 4-8 turns on the siege while upgrading my economy.The siege allows you to take a city many times without fighting meaning no losses or minimall losses allowing you to go to the next big city and so on.

3rd - With the money from big cities make secundary armies to rip out smaller cities/towns

4th - Automanage everything always at the end of a turn and set to "save money" this will generate almost +50% money profits then leaving things on manually.

5th - Build 2 extra diplomats and sent them in galleys to 2 different directions to minimize the time it takes to get trade rights with all factions in the map
