    Default Fun army compositions

    What kind of funny army comps do you like to use?

    The battle and subsequent victory that I'm most proud of was when I had bugged battle of 5k gold army vs. the enemys 10k army. I took only 5 or so Yari Cav and spread them all around the enemy's ashigaru spam army. Then I just charged them all, pulled them back and repeated until the enemy routed.

    Also hiding cav and pulling them out when enemy is distracted by an infantry line battle is great fun.

    So what kinda army comps/tactics that work well/are fun you've used?

    I was harassing opponent's archers with my cavs so he had to pull them back constantly. After some time he tried to do same to me and ran his cavalry into my spearwall.

    I tried the hidden cav thing in my first multiplayer battle and boy was it fun

    I put 2 units of yari cavalry in a small wood and moved the rest of the army (3 bow ashi, 2 spear ahi and 3 loanswords) to the only capturable building and formed a line there. the cav was a bit off but i hoped it would work. As soon as I reached the building and began to capture it the enemy moved towars me (maybe wondering why I hed so few troops) and began the battle by starting a shootout with his 4 archers against my 3 and leaving his spears behind. after 2 volleys I charged my cav out, they took about 15- 20 sec to get to him but he never realised it until they crushed into 2 of his archer units and routed them almost instantly. they got a 3rd unit of archers on the second run and then he presented his general unprotected on the flank, man what an opportunity... which I instantly used to kill him. he made a desperate last charge with his inf but got badly crushed due to low morale.
    Greatest total war battle ever- I can just recommend to everyone to try out hidnh the cav and letting them charge when the enemy doesnt expect it.

    Might of course work less good against experience players
