    Default Any tips on how to win the Adrianople battle?

    The battle of Adrianople is the only hardest part of the prologue campaign for me. What would be your strategies in that battle?

    The first time I played it, I thought I should keep falling back. I hope to defeat the enemy skirmishers and cavalry first, then their infantry - and I hoped to 'buy time' for the cavalry to arrive. The result was a disaster!

    The second time, I tried meeting the enemy close to the place where you start (at the top of the hill the enemy are climbing towards you). This worked much better. Presumably, my melee units did better because they were charging downhill in the second battle, while the enemy were charging uphill. Either that, or I just got lucky the second time.
