If there’s any tips and tricks players know of that’s useful and that people might not now of I would be grateful if they could share it here. It could be anything from a specific formation to a good unit combination to a strategy for a specific faction. Easterggs, Medieval II engine related things and anything really that’s useful.
For instance I recently learned that it’s possible to merge units by dragging a unit card over another unit in the same stack and it proved higly useable. You can zoom in on the radar of the battle map for some extra flavor and that building mines early is a great way to boost your economy. Attacking settlements from all directions in battle to trap the enemy is a great tactic to use.
I also learned it’s good to have melee Generals in the frontline behind some trash units since they’re usually very powerful and replenish fast while the trash unit takes the main aggro; It’s just that you need to keep an eye on your general by double clicking his unit card so he doesn’t get cornered and killed. Stacking units in defensive checkpoints like Cair Andros and Osgiliath is a great way to ease defending and that you can litterally starve out a province to surrender.
All these things and more might not be the first you notice when you’re new to this mod or Medieval II so if you have more of these tips please share it here.
