Re: Hydaspes
i have played this scenario in mp a few times as the Macedonians and have won( but only just). It tends to turn into a grueling slugfest between the pikes and hordes of bowmen. The key is the Macedonian cav. If Macedon can keep its cavalry intact, they make short work of the Indian bowman once the p...

Re: Question regards massed archer /bowman units.

Question regards massed archer /bowman units.

They are obviously packed in to dense formations unlike their light archer cousins and i assume they act and behave akin to medium infantry. Question is, in melee do they fight as effectively as say irregular infantry or...

Re: how to play cataphracts
If I just have cataphracts on their own, then I tend to hold them back for the second half of the battle when the armies start to break up a bit. I think this is a good suggestion. Let the front line troops fight it out or pin the enemy. Then use the catapracts for flank attacks on pinned troops or...
