So... Has anybody succeeded as Hayasdan yet?

[Maksimus]

EB rocks! I've developed a very simple tactic using the Hayasdan(VH/H). Using only 6 horse archers and 3 generals and I can completely destroy a full stack. In fact, I once destroy 1.5 stacks(I layed siege to a city whilst my infantry was trying to catch up - which is another tactic).

Setup: Put your generals(gen) on the biggest hill, far away from where the enemy are likely to setup. Horse archers(HA) can go anywhere. In fact the more random the better.

1st action: Set your HA to destroy all archers, then slingers then skirmishers.

2nd action: If they have cavalry, it's now chasing someone. Get your gen and kill it and then go back to your hill.

3rd action: Make a cup of tea.

4th action: Make sure none of your HA get destroyed. If anything goes near your Gen then destroy it.

5th action: By now, all the foot will be exhausted. Go to one of your HA, switch off skirmishing then gently guide whatever foot that's chasing it to your gen. Don't send your gen to the foot, let the foot come to you. We don't want your gen to get exhausted.

6th action: Keep this up and destroy the foot units one at a time until they're all dead.

This tactic works fantastically against foot armies(Selekid and Ptol - who are allied against me), but does anyone have a tactic for taking on cavalry armies? I'm going to have to take on the Parthians very soon, and I'm more than a little bit worried.

Very nice, I personaly used that tactic against Sarmatians too..
