Provincial "Defender" Generals/Stacks

Yup, they're nasty little buggers. Good to know the stack remains stationary though after you take the town. I've watched the stack do a sort of linear patrol along a straight path back and forth in the Iuvaeotum...

Ah, good to know. Unfortunately, his new spawning position is blocking a river crossing and connection between one of my settlements and a settlement that will soon be mine (hopefully), and he is in a position with risk for ambushing my troop transports, and the position also happens to be an incredibly difficult battlefield for an offensive. Not to mention my army is peasant rabble compared to his... And Casse has almost no cavalry, at least if the game should be historical - my house rule is to not start hiring notable quantities of cavalry until I've lost at least one battle against an enemy with >5 units of cavalry... So while I probably can't destroy him as it is now, it's absolutely necessary that I do so in a not too distant future...

That's one restrictive house rule... Methinks the Casse would have looked around once they got onto the Continent and went 'I gotta get me some'a those horsey things with men on them! Bigods, I never knew you could do that to them! I only ever did that to my women...'

You're gonna need cavalry for Satres, Rodion my friend. I think infantry to infantry, he can beat yours unless they're equal in quality...

Thanks for the help everyone, great instruction Pezhetairoi!

Time to use the landscape to hammer Satres
