Re: Newbie questions
Against cavalry I tend to create a wall of infantry, spears if possible. Slingers are cheap and can cause rout. In any case I have them HOLD and attack closest. Then I use some fast moving units (cavalry, summons, usually anything if its 4 legged or flying) which I set off to the sides with orders to attack archers or attack rearmost. If they are REAL fast (such as flyers) I might have to hold them up long enough to make sure that the enemy cavalry is going against my sword-fodder troops. You can do that by assiging them to guard a commander, and have that commander set to hold/hold/attack rearmost
You can mix in high-morale units into the same squad in order to help morale rolls. Many nations have some sort of cheap infantry that has a slight morale increase. Or use something like vinemen which are cheap to make.
