On the Path to the Streets of Gold: a Suebi AAR (updated 11-17, final chapter)

[Hooahguy]

I'd suggest putting everything at the center as it isn't too large of the settlement, the ai most likely gives little time for its skirmishers to fire in most of the TWs (In FKoC mod for M2tw the ai Royalist forces pounded my city with artillery until several huge gaps were carved in ironically) so you'll take minimal missile fire and the ai will take a lot of friendly fire if they still let the slingers shoot.

Around the center you can try to use superior melee numbers and javelins to take out many of the ai forces, the ai might even blob it's slingers to take the capture point which makes your job easier.

Thats what I was thinking initially, but I remember in a previous M2TW campaign when I was defending against the hugely superior numbers of the Mongols, I would create choke points which worked wonders, so I kinda figured it would work here too. I neglected to take into account that then I was defending with rows of heavy spearmen and they had mostly cavalry armies. But here I wasnt really in control of my garrison forces, so that tactic wouldnt work with low-quality spearmen.

What have you done to your AI to make it do that sort of thing? =P Mine always just control A + right click closest victory point XD

Not entirely sure. Id like to attribute it to the new patch and Radious's mod, but I know that the battle AI isnt moddable, so maybe the patch?
