While we're at it, could someone give me some pointers on...how to attack an enemy on mountains, hills and bridges? I find defending in the same situation effortless, regularly achieving 10:1 victories, but when attacking I'm doing as bad as the AI does when attacking me. I guess when I manage to catch him with his pants down (I reach the hill he's climbing before he does, or am lucky with the map: I remember one battle where AI started down in the oasis and I was way up on the hill wall surrounding it, all I had to do was run my men down into their ranks immediately and they were losing badly uphill until they routed) it becomes easy again, but what if he manages to actually be smart once and shells up on some nice mountain with a good variety of troops? Charging melee uphill is absolutely hopeless. A missile battle uphill is absolutely hopeless. What if there's one bridge, and he blocks it. What am I supposed to do?! Outnumber the enemy 5 to one and accept losing four times as meny men as the enemy? Just walk away? Teach me, o' forummers.
