Give bad advice.

Always run.

Always keep your horses at front.

A veteran unit is best used as cannon fodder.

 

[Sashie VII]

Sticking my nose in: An all horse army(Human) with decent charge and attack can beat an all phalanx army(AI).

 

[flyingchicken]

Bad advice, people! You're spoiling the thread.
______

Use all-pigs armies, because they're cheaper than horses but still have four legs.

Remember, always try to do the Hastati Wall-Jump. It will shock your foes.

 

[Sashie VII]

*Pigs scare those huge elephants right? So they should make any sane enemy soldier run too. An all pigs army can rout any number the enemy throw at you.

Spoiler :

Only elephants are greatly scared by pigs. Plus, even a few arrows/javelins will kill pigs near-instantly.

At the beginning of their respective games: Ignore the Senate, attack the Pope.

Nooo don't spoil the surpriiiiiiise

The skirmish button is also known as the "wimpy" button. Prevent your archers from being "girly-men" and turn the button off, so they won't run from the enemy! They will become strong, [deepvoice] manly men [/deepvoice] *flexes muscles*

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Run, run everwhere! Doesn't matter where the enemy army is located for, as we all know, the faster a battle is initiated the faster it can be won!

All foot archer armies are the best. They can fight in melee too, you know.

 

[Joe Harker]

Come on you wimps charge straight into the middle of the emeny lines

 

[civverguy]

All foot archer armies are the best. They can fight in melee too, you know.

But never use Pharaoh's bowmen Forester Warband, or Chosen Archer Warband.

 

[Aramazd]

Never build Horse Archers they are horrible, but make sure you play as Parthia or Scythia.

 

[flyingchicken]

Horse Archers are weak; micromanaging them is a waste of time.

Word of advice, if you wish to end a siege without bloodshed do the following:

When the enemy army attacks, simply open the gates and welcome them into the city. They will come in and see the granduer (shambles, if you are a barbarian) of your city and decide it is not worth their time and leave.

Dont forget to offer gold, women and spoils or else they will walk back out and continue besieging the city.

 

[flyingchicken]

Remember, if you send your horse archers to charge straight into enemy ranks, they will always have a good chance of retreating.

 

[Aramazd]

If you build an all HA army (which you should never do), turn off fire at will and skirmish modes, then charge their infantry and presto, instant victory!

 

[civverguy]

Don't put your phalanxes in thin lines.

 

[BEHIND_THE_MASK]

When It comes to games of Chicken, the Enemy is always a wimp. So, if you're fighting a bridge battle and the enemy has the other side covered with Phalanxes, its always a good Idea to send the chariots over first.

They'll move. I just know it.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Flaming arrows modivate your elephants.

Your troops will be much more effective in defensive loose formation.
