      My problem is that in MTW2 the cav bug on charge, so it basically makes fighting extremely hard. In both games Cav are insanely OP. I think I overall had more enjoyable fights tactics wise when playing RTW 1 :P. But yeh the bug is prob why i find MTW2 harder.
      I think both games are probably equally enjoyable for the different things they have for me. RTW 1 has better fighting, MTW2 has better campaign stuffs to do :L (Well for me at least)

    I remember my epic battles with a Macedonian army full of phalanx, even levy phalanx, gold star cavalry and general and a few archers. Sometimes I got attacked by 3-4 full stacks in a single turn losing less than 100 soldiers in each battle. Pike + cav charges in the rear was godly. The costliest battles were against eastern civs with lots of horse archers and also against Romans, their pilum volleys were devastating

    I once used 50 romans to take out 2000 of an army of 3000 Egyptians. Unfortunately, I was around 14 and had no expensive equipment to record it. I'm 23 now. It took around 2 hours to do. I kept drawing my forces out of my gate to cause the enemy to come forward, only to withdraw again and have my ballista towers do most of the work. I took out about 1500 this way. Then they finally decided to use their battering ram, only to have four units get roasted alive by my burning oil. Then I used the 25 pikemen and the 21 hastati in the small gate area. They took out a lot of them, but only lasted for around 2 minutes. Then I lost. I only had one unit of 4 archers and they were the only ones left alive.

      Plagueis 1017 I remember in an online battle, I lost my general early on in a siege. I had a shit-ton of knights and they were winning in melee until they decided *fuck it* and just ran.

      +Steven Mike This is not Attila. Mercenary Crossbowmen beat Spear Militia in melee.

      +Youri Natrance Not necessarily. I played enough M2TW to know that battles like that occur actually pretty often. AI forces were easy to tire out and then they REALLY do not like being rear charged. Causing mass routing with your overpowered-as-fuck generals bodyguard to otherwise occupied exhausted enemy units is everyday bread in that game.

      Look, consider this:
      -Mercenary crossbowmen have better melee stats than spear militia
      -The Danish general is dead
      -They're exhausted
      -The Turks had the uphill advantage
      -The Turkish general had some dread
      -Not all the Danish infantry is really engaged, 75% of them are at the back of that blob so technically, the Turkish spearmen are winning in melee.
      Dead general + exhaustion + fighting a losing battle + dreaded general = mass rout. My earlier comment can prove this, even more so because that was an online battle I played so the units were properly matched. Losing your general is the worst thing that can happen in this game and it throws your chances of victory right out the window.

    I really love the tactical and strategical aspects of the battles in TW but once you figure out what the AI focuses on in battles it becomes kinda predictable and easy to pick apart.
    I was up against a huge moorish army outnumbering my own 2 to 1 with their best generals and a large number of mixed cavalry and infantry units. I hired some merc spearmen to supplement the couple of javelin units and heavy cav I had and waited up a hill with the spearmen in front and the javelins and cav behind. The AI seems really fixated on infantry formations (such as a big row of spearmen) and before attacking tries to create a properly positioned front line with units that can match the player's, it also keeps its cavalry far away from spearmen. When the battle started their missile cav was quick to try to engage on both flanks but were chased off by my heavy cav who quickly broke off the chase to harass the enemy infantry on both flanks and take out any vulnerable archers and light infantry. On the right flank my heavy cavalry was engaged by the enemy's heavy cavalry so I ordered them to double back behind my spearmen at which point the enemy heavy cav broke off. The focus of the battle then shifted as the enemy infantry, still hesitant to engange mine (because they were being harassed on the flanks by my heavy cav and because they were trying to form up to match my spearmen formation) tried to flank my infantry on the right side, following their heavy cav. All I had to do was slightly reposition and rotate my infantry formations and their infantry was once again staring hesitantly at a solid front line of spearmen. In the mean time my cavalry had been harassing and picking off infantry from their flanks, their heavy cavalry, which had unsuccessfully tried to circle around my infantry to attack it from the back (I quickly switched positions for my spearmen/javelineers to counter) , had also been taking casualties because of my javelineers and some of my cavalry charges. After picking off many units this way with my cavalry and javelineers the enemy finally pressed to attack. The AI seemed to have reached a point of "f*ck it, this isn't working. let's just go for an all out attack" and tried to charge with most of it's units. Ofcourse their formations were in complete disarray at that point because of the rapidly shifting shape of the battle and their attack was ineffective, this allowed me to start a rout that spelled their defeat.
    So TL:DR, a solid front line of heavy/spear infantry with ranged infantry as support will draw in the AI, continually harassing the enemy on the flanks with your cavalry confuses the crap out of them and ruins formations. Moving and shifting the front line in response to any of the AI's movements will also keep the AI re-positioning, will delay its attacks and forces it to offer up weak spots. The AI also often doesn't seem to have a real plan of it's own and mostly reacts to the player which means it can easily be "baited". I guess most of you already know that though lol, oh well, war stories, fun! :D.
    A question though, I normally play M2 with medium battle difficulty because it seems like the AI isn't really any better on higher difficulties, it just has unfair advantages. I did a quick comparison and noticed that on higher difficulties a fight between 2 units of exactly the same type (on level ground with 0 skill generals) seems to be completely unbalanced (the AI wins by a riddiculous margin) and I don't think it's fun if I need 2 units for every 1 unit the AI has just because it's got "hax". Is this really true or is the battle AI really better on higher difficulties??

      Rome on legandary: I use 2 phalanx versus 1. 1 frontal, and 1 rear attack. At another front, there is a 1 vs 1 fair phalanx fight. All units are equal, and no manuvre or strange terrain. To my amazement, AI routed my unit on a fair fight, while the 2 vs 1 fight is still to a standstill.

    This was far better than expected. The 3rd one really caught me off-guard:
    Player: " We should kill their faction leader first."
    -Enemy reinforcement announcement
    Player : "Ah, doesn't matter."
    Advisor: "The enemy have proved their cowardness, they have reinforcements, as if numbers matter."
    Player: " Numbers do matter when you have limited ammunition, you moron."
