:( difficult...

I tried it on normal, but now will try it on easy, to see how that goes...


Someone said:

"At the start of the battle I moved my whole army around to the back of the enemy, despatching their cavalry on the way. Once their cavalry is gone stay at range and position your archers to attack their first group of pikemen. Try not to let your archers come under enemy fire. Ammunition is limited, so you do not have enough arrows to completely destroy each pikemen group. I tried to bring them down to 50%, so each pikemen group would only have around 200 men left. For me, this wasn't entirely possible, but I thinned them out as best I could.

Next I manoeuvred my (now ammo-less) archers, pikemen and swordsman ready to attack the first pikemen group. I also prepared some cavalry to attack the enemy archers behind. By attacking with all my infantry at once I was able to break the first pikemen group, and my cavalry were able to get to the first few archer groups. Once each group were broken I ordered my troops to attack the next group along the line. It got pretty messy, and I wasn't sure I would have enough troops, but as more and more of the enemy fled, their morale suffered, and it was relatively simple to pick off the last few groups."
