Battle strategies:

Information in this section was contributed by Espen.
At the start of each campaign, go for a defensive approach.
Gather your units and await enemy movements.
Intercept advancing enemy units with long-range attacks (canonade/ballista).
Attack enemy units with several units, using special-attacks first.
Keep it going until the enemy unit is destroyed. Do not let routed units
escape as they will reform.
More importantly, when annihilating an enemy unit, your army’s zeal will
rise, allowing for more special attacks.
Use „rally” to raise the zeal of your units when in battle, preferably on
units with long-range special attacks.
Check your unit’s status regularly, and retreat immediately if your unit is
losing a battle.
Try to limit the number of engagements, as to have a better chance of
controlling the events on the battlefield. Press L2 to call up a map of
the entire battlefield.
Only at the very end (two or three enemy units remaining ) should you call
for an army attack, keeping the units with long-range attacks at some distance.
Hints
—–
Always read the dialog boxes from your officers. If you make decisions in
haste, they can prove costly in the end.
Winning a one-on-one challenge will also increase the zeal of your troops.
The Triple Barrage is most effective against horseman.
The Spear Wall is most effective against infantry.
Let your troops rest whenever they can; this will make them last longer in
battle.
When the enemy is running away from you, chase after them. If you don’t,
they can regroup and attack you later in the game. It’s better to get rid of
them right away.
Extra Modes
