Sun Tzu says : When you move, click attack multiple times just in case.

[@thothheartmaat2833]

the most efficient way of doing attacks is to do this attack first then double click your horses and send them after the archers then click your archers and make sure theyre still in the fight.. now you got everyone doing something according to their specific role but didnt lose any time at the beginning.. the overwhelming odds is what matters more than tactics. chances are youre going up against a mixed force anyway.. who has time to place specific units?

[@Iley1_500]

Thats relatable. But then I learned to use cavalry and militia to just hold enemy, nothing to complex, while messing with whatever enemy walls and buildings I could reach with archers and artillery. I mean, it ain't much but it's honest work.
