Perfect army combination
Servus,fellow mount and blade fans!
Got a question,everytime i play with fire and sword i get frustrated that sweden's cavalry beats pretty much everything i have,so what should i put an emphis on? MORE MUSKETS oR MORE PIKES,or even cav?
not to mention that besides the enemies cav they still have regular infantry

Re: Perfect army combination
halberds help in melee against infantry more than pikes
and I just go all out with muskets

Re: Perfect army combination
Ive got an army with 0 cavalry and 0 melee infantry.
Ive got 40 tartar merc's using the best bows plus heavy mail armor and war hammers and shields then 80 cossack mercs with the best rifles armor and halberds.
Pretty much i find a hill line up bowmen in front in 2 ranks then 3 ranks of rifles behind let the rifles fire and hold the bows till there very close then let rip and watch the horses topple.
Thats pretty much all ive ever needed to defeat armies of 400-500 even against 100+ swedish cavalry its just a matter of timing that volley right to brake the initial charge then swarm them with rifle men while the archers hold up enemy infantry and job done.
I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes I am the ghost, that hides in the night.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender.
" The dark is generous.
Its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. But the greatest concealment lies not in protecting our secret truths, but in hiding from the truths of others.
The dark protects us from what we dare not know.
Its second gift is comforting illusion: the ease of gentle dreams in night’s embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in the day’s harsh light. But the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that dark is temporary: that every night brings a new day. Because it’s the day that is temporary.
Day is the illusion.
Its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the nights that divide them, as stars are defined by the infinite black through which they wheel, the dark embraces the light, and brings it forth from the center of its own self.
With each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins.
The dark is generous, and it is patient.
It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.
The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.
The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light.
The dark’s patience is infinite.
Eventually, even stars burn out.
The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
It always wins because it is everywhere.
It is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire; it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. Walk in the midday sun, and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet.
The brightest light casts the darkest shadow.
The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars."
Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.
You began the war.

Re: Perfect army combination
Swedish Pikemen; Russian, Crimean, Polish, Cossack and Swedish cavalry; Polish and Swedish musketeers.
On a side note can anyone tell me how to recruit janissaries and all of these Scottish troops and winged hussars?
I go to every city and not one allows me to recruit troops from a commander even though some of these cities have a commander.
