When you were handing out battle orders to all the units I was thinking, send those retinue after the bandits in the woods as the small numbers of retinue can still wreck the bandits, reduce his total army size and then you can bring them down into the back side of the next unit and wrap his army up one by one, and then you did exactly that! we were simpatico on strategy there!

[@The_Beard]

They RIP through bandit too! No match at all...

[@spamfilter32]

You will want to build your treasury quickly so that you can fill out your 2 retinue units, make the next fight easier. It takes 2000 prestige to claim an owned territory, so it should take him a little while.

[@The_Beard]

Yea - I think I want to try and have two fully kitted out retinue before trying to take him on but I have a feeling I am going to be rolling in influence soon

[@spamfilter32]

The polearm militia do extra damage to armored enemies (or at least don't do less damage), so they are better against retinue than spearmen. They were exactly who you wanted to engage the baron's retinue. having those 2 polearm militia probably saved you as they wouldn't get wrecked by his retinue. since you are out of militia units, I would recommend dismissing the archers, and getting a second unit of spearmen and rely on merc's for archers. Right now, the best use of archers is to kite the enemy into a disadvantageous position, like you did, and then to add numbers to a battle where their numbers count against the moral of the enemy, even if they can't damage them.

[@The_Beard]

I am actually impressed with the polearms hey - I think I might get one more spear militia though (loose one polearm) as they are much better at holding the line IMO. Use the remaining polearms and retinue to charge - hammer and anvil style.

[@spamfilter32]

@@The_Beard at this point, I would disband the archers in favor of another spearmen militia. Keep the polearm you have. Once the patch gets rolled out, then the archers will be useful again.

[@spamfilter32]

unfortunately, archers do almost no damage on the release build. once the patch is rolled out, archers will work again. However, they do aid when they are attacking from behind as that affects the moral of enemy units. You won with excellent tactics; Bravo on that!

[@The_Beard]

Thank you! Learnt a few things after some of the last clashes.... SO bummed it seem i only have access to archer mercs at the moment

[@spamfilter32]

@@The_Beard yes. The mercs are getting patched so that you should always have a choice.
