Got any good tips on attacking enemy territory? I don't have EBII at the moment because I am waiting for the next version. But I'm thinking of handling things differently when I get EB again.
I'm thinking of starting a strategy where when I invade, I have a dedicated field battle army/armies and dedicated siege based army/armies (If I can afford it like that, of coarse). Before I was using my armies as 'all purpose' armies that do everything, but now I want to make specialized roles. The field armies have cavalry and pike-men (if my faction uses those), whereas the siege armies do not (except for generals) or have less of them.
I usually wait out sieges and automate the results, because while I like siege battles, I like the majority of the battles I fight to be field ones. So instead of having troops that both fight siege and land battles, I will use the siege army to besiege cities and the field armies to intercept the enemy, making less 'getting attacked while besieging' scenarios. Plus I can just merge forces and creating 'all purpose' forces after accepting causties if need be.
I'm also wondering if bringing extra generals and splitting my besieging forces up into smaller armies would make for more fun and/or easier city attacks? Has anybody tried that?
Also, any good unit compositions for a raiding army? Whose job is to hang out behind enemy lines and ambush stuff/devastate the countryside?
