Re: Tactics: How can I use my Commanders and my Pretender efficiently in Battle?
Tactical positioning can be very nation-specific and depends a lot on what you plan to face and which spells you want to cast. Here's a few things that weren't obvious to me when I started:
1) Heavy Infantry benefits quite a bit from the Hold/Attack order because HI doesn't take much damage from low-level spells and arrows and can save fatigue by not immediately charging to engage.
2) Check the range of the spells you want to cast. Spellcasters often need to be closer to the front lines than you might otherwise think so that their spells are useful.
3) Try to offset your archers from your infantry. The more angular seperatio you have the less attrition through friendly fire you will suffer.
4) When scripting spells check the gem cost. It's never fun to realize that the reason your caster chose a different spell was because they didn't have the gems to cast the one you wanted.
Well, that's a scattering of ideas anyway...
