Hi. I'm a newcomer to this mod, although i deservedly consider myself a veteran of total war series having played every game since RTW.
Now i decided to play TATW i started as Dale. the economy sucks and recruitment is slow but that's nothing at least some it's challenge for the change. the worst part is the war against Rhun it's Effing frustraiting they keep spawning full stacks out of nowhere. Which are composed of low quality skirmishers and missile cavalry. So I have absolutely nothing to fight them with. I can't fight them with infantry because they keep retreating when i get close, can't fight them with cavalry because they just end up decimated by the point they reach to engage in melee and then get overrun and routed. Plus Dalish cavalry isn't that strong to begin with(the ones that are worth recruiting cost too much, and gather up too slowly to be thrown away on such tasks). I tried fighting fire with fire, but first of all it's exhausting and takes forever to chase skirmishers with skirmishers, second casualties are too high, third you have to micromanage everything and last but not least it's no fun to play with low grade javelinmen when you can recruit various armies. seriously kills all the fun in the campaign.
TL;DR Rhun only recruits full stacks of skirmishers and annoyes the hell out of me can someone share some tactical advice on fighting them in field battles.
