Controlling more than one army?

[MutantHippie]

Is it possible? can it be done? and if it can be done will it be done?

EDIT: and i mean like two or three full armies 2v2 or 3v3

[chaplain118]

Nope. Closest you can do is to turn on infinite men on battlefield and just let your first army get decimated before bringing in the reinforcements.

im pretty sure this ability is only avalible for kingdoms. i cant remember if it for empire since i havent played it in a couple of months

Well you can let the Ai comand your reinforcements...

[stanley86]

Yes, you can. But still it makes any sense when the reinforcements consist only of heavy infantry. It's aslmost certain that any archers, cavalry or light infantry would be butchered, because the AI knows only one tactic: charge with all you got. I don't need to say, how would end a melee combat: horsemen vs 5 metre long sarissa or archers vs heavy infantry.
Switching armies in real time would be the best solution. Something like: "Press F1 to select Army1", "Press F2 to select Army2" etc.
