Is it epic to make the same error again and again and again?  I still try to recall protective troops from squares when my gatherers made it without being killed by NPCs arriving before them.   But the stupid messenger recalls everything, not only the troops. Disapprove

In the case of that particular army, my commanders got full value of their heroism points since the attack value of the army is far more than the attack value of 60 knights.  However, those commanders, which are from a relatively new city, do not yet have division bonuses leveled and therefore the swords did not benefit from any bonus to bloodlust.

The limit on commander damage is based on total damage of all troops in the army (not division).

Hasn't there been a restriction on commanders only dealing at max the damage their troops can deal?
I couldn't find the forum thread on that one again...   But I thought a commander on his own won't deal any damage at all, or at least only the standard attack value of his sort of unit...

They don't even have any points in bloodlust.  I really need a t2 sword commander in that city if I'm going to run swords from there.

It's on my "to-do" list.

Memo to self:  Rats are spear units.  Do not attack rats in woods.  Oh, and you might want to scout first if it's outside diplo visibility.

Heavily wooded terrain spells difficulty for ranged units and cavalry. Infantry units find they have a large advantage here.

Like the attackers, these thick forests do not provide much assistance for anyone except your footsoldiers, who take great pleasure in the extra cover afforded to them.

Two opposing forces clash against each other.

Cavalry comes into its own when able to strike hostile forces at will, and from unexpected directions - and nowhere is this more feasible than on open plains. Lightly armoured spear units, however, prefer terrain where there's some cover available.

Fighting defensively on open plains, cavalry draws strength from the ability to form and reform their lines of engagement depending on the direction of battle, and it is here where cavalry excels.
