    Default Best HRE Heavy armour army?

    So I just discovered the delight of playing The Holy Roman Empire, or as I constantly say to myself while playing, Ze Holi Romaan Empiire.. You know, Bashing Milanese a** early on, awesome colour composition and that German accent that pleases me just as cold beer on a hot summer day

    But now that I'm getting up the ladder of development military speaking, I begin to wonder how to put the best heavy armor army composition together.. I really dig some sword swinging lads, mace bashing blokes and I have a tendency to use Guild cavalry (Teutonic Knights etc.).. So I'm eager to hear some suggestions for an army

    Default Re: Best HRE Heavy armour army?

    generally i'm used to use this formation:

    1 unit: general (G)
    2 units: teutonic knights or if you can get - gothic knights
    2 units: bowman (for flame arrows) (BOW)
    4 units: crossbowman (i prefer mercenaries for their wider range) (CBM)
    4 units: sergeant spear man (main frontline) (SER)
    2 units: sword knights (can't recall the exact name atm) (SDK)
    2 units: Forlorn Hope or other Zweihänder (to break formations) (ZWH)

    with the last three slots i vary for my needs - siege stuff or more cav or more infantry...

    Formation:

    Code:
    SDK SER SER SER SER SDK
    ZWH BOW BOW ZWH 
    CBM CBM CBM CBM
    G
