If you are Abysia, dont burn all your independants with your national troops. I suck at this game.

To be a little more helpful... cannon fodder can be nice if you have some guys with shields but most without and you know you'll face archers.

Smaller squads can route more easily. If you have a big squad, sometiems it makes a sqaure, where a line would let you get more attacks in.

Commander usually doesnt matter.

Spread out wizards is good, so they dont all get hit by the same thing.

Don't let cavalry flank your grunts and kill your wizards.

For tramplers, the flanks is best. I put them back a little but, but dont have them hold. You dont want them roughed up, or running backwards through your army, but you dont want them missing the action either. Until this gets fixed/unless its considered bugged, puttign some high morale troops with elephants in one squad helps them not run and squish you. Some people dont like this tactic I think.

etc.
