Has anyone tried to deliberately split up their stack and put them on opposite sides of the enemy on the campaign map BEFORE you click attack and go into the battle? AFAIK this results in the second stack emerging as reinforcements from roughly the same direction as you placed them on the campaign map?
Last night I put one general and four cav units into a separate group and attacked with the other 15 units in the stack. Turns out the AI was confused to hell by what I did and ended up being pincered in the middle.
Anyone else tried this? Thoughts on using this systematically?
(Yes, beating full stack legendary AI one-on-one is perfectly doable. I'm just investigating ways to make battles more interesting I guess)
